Some cords are threads of gold,
Others are chains of memory.
The wisdom is knowing which to keep and which to release.
I'm Ipek Williamson and I welcome you to this cord-cutting meditation.
A practice to help you release energetic ties that no longer serve you.
Throughout life we unknowingly create energetic attachments with people,
Situations and experiences,
Some nourishing,
Others draining.
When these connections keep us stuck in the past,
Deplete our energy or prevent us from moving forward,
It's time to cut the cords and reclaim our power.
Now find a comfortable position either seated or lying down and gently close your eyes.
Take a deep cleansing breath in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth.
Again inhale deeply filling your lungs completely and exhale letting go of any tension or heaviness in your body.
Now set your intention for this meditation.
I am ready to release all energetic attachments that no longer serve me.
I reclaim my energy and step into my power with freedom and peace.
Take another deep breath in and as you exhale allow your body to relax even more.
Begin to scan your body from head to toe noticing where you may feel heaviness,
Tension or an energetic pull.
Many people sense cords in their stomach which is their power center or their heart.
Which is their emotion center or their throat which is their expression center.
Trust your intuition.
If you are unsure simply imagine where the cord might be.
Now using your inner vision begin to see or sense the cord attached to you.
What does it look like?
Is it thick or thin?
Dark or light?
Does it have a color?
Clear,
Still or moving?
There is no right or wrong.
Simply observe.
Now follow the cord's path and notice where it is connected to the other person,
Situation or experience.
Breathe deeply directing your awareness into the space where the cord is attached to you.
With each inhale gather your energy in this area and with each exhale prepare to release.
Now visualize a powerful light surrounding you.
Radiant,
Strong and protective.
This light represents your inner strength,
Your sovereignty and your ability to break free.
With your next breath imagine this light forming into a tool,
Maybe a blade,
A beam or a cutting force of pure energy.
This tool is uniquely yours,
Created from your own power and intention.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale use this tool to sever the cord completely.
See it detach,
Dissolve and disintegrate into pure light,
Returning to the universe.
The energy that belongs to you is now flowing back into your being,
Cleansed,
Renewed and fully yours.
Breathe in deeply,
Filling yourself with newfound lightness and freedom and exhale releasing any lingering residue of the connection.
Take a moment to notice how your energy feels without the cord.
Is it lighter,
Stronger,
More peaceful?
Whatever you feel is simply perfect and if there are any other cords you wish to release Just repeat the process,
Trusting that you are fully capable of letting go.
Gently bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Take a deep breath in,
Anchoring this sense of clarity,
Strength and peace within you And on your next exhale affirm after me.
I am free.
I am whole.
My energy is my own.
Now slowly begin to bring movement back into your body.
Press your feet firmly against the floor.
Anchoring yourself in the here and now.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Fully returning to this moment,
Lighter,
Clearer and free.
This practice can be repeated as often as needed.
Some cords are deeply rooted and may require multiple releases and that is completely ok.
Trust that with each session you are reclaiming more of your energy and stepping further into your power.
You are free.
You are whole.
You are sovereign.
Thank you for joining me in this sacred practice.
From my heart to yours,
With all my love and gratitude,
Namaste.
