Cord Cutting + Finding Joy

I wanted to talk a bit about a resource and tool you may or may not be aware of. I think it can be useful for both opening yourself up to Joy, and assisting you on your journey of finding your Truth.

Cord Cutting

Part of us being energetic beings means our energy fields interact. Sometimes those interactions are temporary, sometimes positive, sometimes negative, and sometimes they are lingering attachemnts. Have you ever felt an emotion or pain and thought, “that’s not mine"? Chances are you would be right. You could be connected to another energetic being (person) through a previous interaction, and as opposed to passing by and on your merry ways, you end up with an energetic cord connection. This can happen both in person (family, friends, co-workers, relationships), through previous lives, or other connections (judgement, resentment, the new, celebs on tv, etc). But let’s just focus on the “real life” connections.

Cord cutting is the practice of literally “cutting the cord” with another beings energy. You may be thinking I’m nuts, there is no way someone is tied to me without knowing it, but hey… if you weren’t aware we were energetic beings, and weren’t aware of auric fields and soul contracts, maybe you aren’t aware of these other connections. Now this cord can come from any energetic being, for any reason. It’s not always negative or ill-will. It could just be a little bit of co-dependency, or their energetic being realizing your being is super strong and light filled, and “hey, I want some of that”.

How to figure out if you have cords to cut?

First off, let’s say its not really important “who” the cords come from, or how they got there. So let’s drop that story and relax on the Sherlock Holmes investigation. Chances are you have some kind of energetic cord: emotions / thoughts that are not serving you, judgment or resentment, drained energy, a pain you cannot relate to. You don’t need to dissect all your previous emotional days, aches and pains, and figure out if they were yours or not. The first step is always awareness. Learn to be aware of your own body and how your body feels. No, that’s not always a quick process. Again, this isn’t something I’m sharing that you have to perfect in the next 24 hours, this is a practice.

Cutting the cords

If you like meditation or breath work, the best way to gain that awareness is through a practice where you can still your mind and get in touch with your energetic being. When you are comfortable, and ready, in that safe space you can ask your guides, God, Universe, whatever you want to call it to see any cords, if there is anything not serving you and your highest good, if there is anything you need to release. Again, the “who it’s coming from, where, why, how it got there” are not important. But you may notice energetic attachments to your body. If you do, it’s completely normal. Again most of us do not have this awareness, and if we do not have the awareness we haven’t set boundaries. But back to the cords… all you need to do is picture yourself cutting them, or you can call in your guides, angles, etc. You can visualize using anything you want! A pair of big gold scissors, maybe a ninja sword, whatever resonates with you; you can even do the action of cutting with your fingers. One by one (if you have more than just one) just picture cutting these cords, and letting them go - maybe they blow off in the wind, dissolve, burn up like sparklers, this is your visualization and energetic release, so do whatever works for you. Once you have cut all the cords, check in with your being and do whatever else feels right for you. Thank or acknowledge the energy and release it, affirm “ I release these energetic cords that are no longer serving my highest good”, picture it all imploding on itself and disappearing into a black hole, tell the energies they are no longer attached to you and not allowed to reattach, whatever you need to do to fully release the attachments.

Finding Joy

What does cord cutting have to do with finding Joy? Great question. I’ve learned that everything is connected. If you are attached to another beings energy, maybe that is blocking your from being open to Joy - not an excuse, just something for your awareness. It could be where you are getting your feelings of fear, your disbelief at your ability to have Joy, or maybe that energetic tie is using your Joy. I know, I know, it all sounds strange. I don’t want you to use this “another energy is attached to me” as a story for why you can’t [heal, be happy, find joy, etc - insert your word]. I want you to work towards removing any obstacles that are keeping you from being Joy-filled and all that you deserve in this lifetime. Maybe some chronic pain is holding you back (hi, right here!!), but learning more about yourself you find that chronic pain is “not yours”. Meaning, it does not define you. It is your choice and your free will to decide if you will overcome and heal the pain (energy), or let your story keep you a victim of the pain. I have learned - through a lot of practice, that some of my chronic pain is my bodies stress and trauma response, some is previous lineage that needs to be healed, some is from my inner child that needs to be healed, and some just needed to be acknowledge so I could move on.

I have chosen to no longer have a victim story. Therefore, I will not be a victim to my chronic pain, I acknowledge it, and will figure out how (bit by agonizing bit) to heal it for this lifetime and all others. Part of healing that story of chronic pain and victim mentality, cutting those energetic cords of anything that is not serving my highest good, allows me to be more open to Joy. I’m not going to say I don’t still have some fear around the word Joy, its a lot of work to rewrite, or release your stories. But I can now acknowledge that fear and release it, I no longer let that mindset define me.

This was my really long winded way of saying…

You do not need to be a victim of circumstance, you can rise above it as a free and sovereign being. You can choose your own path and story, and therefore have the ability, and the right, to a clean and clear energy field.

There are so many meditations and cord cutting practices out there, I invite you to find one that you like and give it a try. If its not for you or doesn’t work, that’s ok. Keep practicing.

Regardless, I want you to be open and available for Joy to seek you out. I believe you are deserving of all that life has to offer. And I hope you find that fulfillment 🤍
