Cord cutting is a way to renew energetic ties with people we know in our lives.
It is particularly useful for difficult people that we have in our lives.
Anytime you feel like you've come into a place where you have a fight or an argument or maybe there's just a strange energy between you and another person,
Maybe nothing even happened,
You can practice this cord cutting ceremony to release and renew your ties to this person.
And on an energetic level,
This is a really powerful practice.
I've heard stories of people being able to let go of relationships or go through divorces or really move on in different areas of their life by being able to practice this idea of cord cutting and then renewing our ties to that person.
This is a particularly nice meditation to do lying down.
So if you like,
You can lie down now and just become very comfortable.
And now just imagine yourself in a beautiful setting,
A beautiful location.
Maybe it's a beach.
Maybe it's a big field.
Just notice what's around you.
Maybe it's a place you're familiar with.
Maybe it's a place you've never been to.
And settle on your location.
And what is the temperature in this place?
Do you feel the sun on your skin?
Is it more cool?
Is there a breeze?
What do you smell in this location?
What do you feel?
Relax your body.
Allow every muscle to relax.
Notice the breath.
And now I want you to imagine standing up and walking.
You see this structure in the distance.
You begin to walk towards it.
And as you arrive,
There is this platform.
Maybe it's like a stage.
And it's surrounded in flowers.
There's so many beautiful flowers surrounding this platform.
And you stand there strong in your ground,
Feel your feet connected to the earth.
And now we're going to invite a person to come stand on this platform.
Someone that you wish to renew energetic ties with.
Maybe someone you'd want to release in your life.
So whoever that person is,
Imagine them walking up onto the stage.
Look into their eyes.
Feel them looking back at you.
And now imagine that there is a cord running from one part of your body to their body.
Maybe it is from your solar plexus.
Maybe it is from your heart.
Maybe it is from another part of your body,
But just imagine where that wants to come from.
And you can imagine how it wants to look.
It could be like rubber.
For me often,
It looks like a vine with leaves.
Maybe it's more hard,
Like metal.
Or maybe it's very soft and lightweight.
Maybe it's transparent.
However you want to imagine this cord running between you and this person.
And now you're going to imagine breaking this cord.
And you can do this a number of ways.
You can imagine taking a knife and cut it from the edge of your body away from yourself.
And then cut it from the edge of that person's body.
Maybe you use scissors,
Or maybe you imagine freezing the cord and then breaking it with your hand,
Watching it shatter into little pieces.
However you want to break that connection between you and this person.
And again,
Look into their eyes.
And now imagine a new cord forming,
Growing from them to you.
It is new,
Filled with life,
Nourishment.
Smile at this person,
Send love to this person.
And when you feel ready,
You can bow to this person and imagine them bowing to you.
And then they can walk off the stage.
Let's do this for one more person.
Imagine a new person walking up on the stage now.
Imagine there is a cord running from them to you.
And when you are ready,
You can break or cut the cord.
And then imagine a new growth,
A new cord forming between each of you.
When you feel complete,
You can bow to this person.
And again,
Watch them walk off the stage.
Come back to your breath,
Come back to your body.
Find some movement in your fingers and your toes.
You can take your time here.
And when you're ready,
You can gently open your eyes.
And when you're ready,
You can gently open your eyes.
