People need relationships to thrive. Whether they’re social, romantic, platonic, or filial, they all contribute to our happiness and survival. Spiritualists believe these relationships carry with them an energy. Psychologists also believe that relationships create a sense of fulfilment and happiness. In addition, negative experiences create stress and anxiety. This means that relationships can directly affect your emotional well-being. When a relationship is bad for you, a practice known as energetic cord-cutting can help you reset your life. It’s a practice that can help you heal and let go without lingering regrets.

Energetic cord cutting involves practices that address emotional attachments that make personal growth difficult. According to Insight Timer, energetic cord cutting renews emotional health. It helps change your energy rather than the people you’re trying to let go of to imbue a sense of peace and calm. It uses techniques such as visualisation and grounding to help you move on. If this is something you’d like to learn more about, these are the steps to take to do it yourself.

Different Ways You Can Use Visualization To Achieve Your Goals

Understanding energetic cord cutting

People believe that when we bond with others, we create energy bonds. In relationships that are toxic, the energy is also bad for you. It affects your self-development, growth, and inner peace. The cord cutting ritual helps you remove yourself from these bonds and heal from past relationships that were bad for you.

How do you perform energetic cord cutting?

  1. Ground yourself through meditation or breathwork. This helps you remain calm and focused.
  2. Visualize the relationship as a cord or ribbon connecting you to the person who is no longer good for you. Then visualize cutting that cord.
  3. You can visualize it or symbolically use a cord-like object like a ribbon or rope and cut it with scissors.
  4. Cleanse your energy by visualizing the person’s energy gone from your person. You can also do other cleansing practices like burning incense. Fill your thoughts with love and compassion. You can do this by thinking about the people you love who are good for you.

The practice is meant to help you get closure from relationships that are over, it starts you on a journey to emotional healing, helps you focus on self-improvement, and helps you become a more positive person.

When should you practise it?

This practice is great for whenever you need to move on. Whether you’re getting over a romantic break-up, severing ties with a friend, going no-contact with an abusive parent, or leaving behind a toxic job, this meditative practice can help you move on. Energetic cord cutting is designed to help you move on if you’re struggling to let go. Perhaps you’re trying to convince yourself that you should go back because you don’t deserve better (low self-esteem). Or you fear that you’ll end up lonely, and alone and will regret letting go of that relationship. The final step in cord cutting helps you realign your thinking. 6 Things You Should Never Sacrifice For A Relationship

For instance, if you’re leaving a toxic job and are worried, visualize getting the job you deserve. Think about how valuable your work is and how fulfilling it’s been. You’ve had a great job before you will get one again. It’s an intentional kind of affirmation through meditation and visualisation. How To Use Affirmations To Rewire Your Brain And Change Your Life

It’s also important to consider cord-cutting if you’re in a relationship that drains you. Energy vampires are people who feed off your energy and make you feel tired every time you spend time with them. You need to restore your emotional equilibrium to make sure you don’t let your other relationships suffer. What Is An Energy Vampire? 9 Signs To Look Out For And How To Avoid Them

When you’ve been offered an opportunity to improve your life by moving and are struggling to let go, cord-cutting can help. Think of what or who is holding you back, visualize the cord-cutting, and cleanse your spirit by thinking about the benefits of your new transition. Don’t let relationships that want to hold you back stop you from pursuing your dreams. People are supportive and loving, so don’t act negatively about a wonderful opportunity for you.

Finally, sometimes you’re the one with negative feelings towards someone else. Perhaps you’re envious of their career progress or they got married while you’re still single. You feel bitter whenever you see them and the negativity is making you act unkind. Don’t try to rationalize your feelings. Learn to let them go. Cord cutting helps you cleanse your energy so that you can be happy for your loved ones experiencing success.

You should consider cord-cutting if you’re feeling resentful of others, your relationship leaves you depressed or anxious, you’re feeling stagnant, you’re having obsessive thoughts about someone else, or you’re talking poorly about someone who accomplished something you haven’t. 5 Ways To Deal With Comparisonitis (Comparison Syndrome)

How effective is it?

Since the practice is a symbolic ritual, it’s as powerful as how mindful you are. If you’re the kind of person who believes in visualization, manifesting or mindfulness, this practice can be highly effective for you. Using mental and meditative techniques can be powerful only if you’re someone who practices them frequently.

It’s also important to remember that you’re not a failure if it doesn’t work. There are other practical measures you can take when you’re struggling to let go such as talk therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, or even simply talking it out with loved ones. According to Medical News Today, people with mental conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder are more likely to struggle with letting go. For them, energetic cord-cutting may not be effective unless paired with professional mental health assistance. A comforting thought is when you decide that energetic cord-cutting is the step you need to let go of, you’re committing to prioritize your inner peace.
