Hi,
This is Aisha from The Purposeful Path,
And this is an introduction or primer on the energy-clearing practice of cord-cutting.
I recommend listening to this introduction prior to using any of my cord-cutting meditations,
So that you can gain the most benefit and healing from them.
Cord-cutting is an energy-clearing practice that has its roots in ancient spiritual traditions and involves visualizing or enacting techniques that release energetic connections with people,
Situations,
And even internal patterns that have a negative or harmful impact on us.
This could be like disrupting or depleting our energy,
Causing rumination or obsessive thoughts,
Or keeping us stuck in feelings of helplessness or hopelessness.
It is important to acknowledge that cord-cutting is an energy-protection and clearing technique which is meant to empower and free us from our attachment to the conflicts we experience.
It is not meant for the other person.
Nor can cord-cutting alone resolve conflicts we may find ourselves in,
Whether they are familial,
Interpersonal,
Workplace,
Institutional,
Systemic,
Or societal,
Whether they are from us or from another person,
And whether they are from the past,
The present,
Or something that is recurring.
The purpose of cord-cutting is to help us to heal and replenish ourselves and learn to protect our energy by disrupting patterns of reactiveness that keep us attached to a conflict.
Chances are,
If you are thinking about cord-cutting,
You are having trouble letting go of something that is holding you down or holding you back or keeps drawing you back in.
When we are able to compassionately and mindfully protect our energy,
We can redirect our resources back to our core elements of body,
Heart,
Mind,
And spirit and reconnect with the innate skills and wisdom we possess.
By creating discernment and attachment,
We begin to see situations more clearly,
Including what is our responsibility and what others are accountable for.
We can envision and try new and different ways to engage a person or a situation.
Or we can choose to limit when,
How much,
Or how often we will engage them.
We may even consider completely cutting off ties if we come to realize that a person or situation is too toxic or unhealthy for us,
An option that we may not have been able to consider before.
Ultimately,
Cord-cutting is a tool of healing,
Restoring and replenishing your energy,
Your personhood,
Your agency,
And your choice.
You may need to do cord-cutting for particular people,
Situations,
And patterns several times,
Particularly if something is recurring or deeply embedded.
The more you practice cord-cutting,
The more effective it is and the more lasting its effects are.
May it serve you purposefully and powerfully.
