Welcome to this cord cutting practice.
This is a ritual aimed at releasing emotional,
Energetic,
Or psychological ties to people,
Situations,
Or patterns that drain or harm your well-being.
It involves visualizing energetic cords between yourself and others,
Then intentionally cutting them to reclaim your personal energy and established boundaries.
The practice fosters emotional liberation,
Clarity,
And inner peace,
Often used to detach from toxic relationships or past traumas.
Let's begin.
To the count of four,
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
And to the count of six,
Exhale even slower.
Feel yourself slow down with your breath,
Harnessing it as an anchor into this present moment.
Continue with this breathing pattern as long as it serves you in slowing down and tuning in.
Now from this place of observation,
Bring to mind a toxic relationship that you want to change.
Notice what this cord looks like between you.
What qualities does it hold?
The color of your skin,
The color of your hair,
The color of your skin,
The color of your skin,
The thickness.
How does the energy pulse and drain between you?
Reminding yourself that this is not you.
It's just energy that's no longer yours to carry.
No need to judge it,
Just see it.
Now imagine a small,
Sharp blade in your hand,
Your tool of liberation,
Your ultimate boundaries.
With care,
See yourself cutting that cord cleanly,
Watching it fall away and shrivel up like it never existed.
Feel the instant energy of the cord.
The instant shift now that this cord is severed,
Lightness enters,
Leaving your heart open and free.
This cutting is your ultimate boundary,
Reclaiming your peace.
What a gift to know you can empower yourself to release what doesn't serve you.
Place one hand on your heart and ask,
What step might I take today to honor my peace?
Maybe it's distancing from a toxic dynamic or choosing time for yourself.
Trust that choice.
Breathe in and silently repeat,
I am grateful to be liberated from this toxic connection.
Let these words seal your freedom.
Smile softly,
Feeling this inner peace,
Knowing you can cut these ties and reclaim your power.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Grounding in this moment,
Fluttering your eyes open.
Carry this liberated energy into your day.
You got this.
