3 Ways to Perform  a Cord Cutting Ritual

“ Letting go isn’t about erasing memories; it’s about releasing the emotional and energetic ties that hold us back, allowing us to reclaim our full light."

If you're here, it means you're ready to free yourself from old energies and connections that no longer serve you. Today, we’re diving deep into three transformative ways to perform a cord cutting ritual—a sacred practice aimed at shedding these attachments and stepping fully into your light.

3 Ways to Perform  a Cord Cutting Ritual

What is Cord Cutting?

In the intricate dance of life, we form energetic cords with people, places, and experiences. While some are uplifting and nourishing, others can become heavy chains pulling us down. Picture cords connected to an ex-partner, an old friendship, or even a place where something traumatic occurred. These cords could also stem from intense emotions like anger or resentment, keeping us tethered to the past.

Signs You Need to Cut Energetic Cords

How do you know if it’s time to wield the metaphorical scissors? Look out for these signs:

  • Feeling drained or unusually tired , especially after thinking about or encountering a specific person or memories.

  • Constantly replaying past events or struggling to let go, indicating a persistent energetic attachment.

  • Experiencing emotional swings out of nowhere, creating unexplainable highs and lows.

  • Physical sensations like tightness or heaviness in the chest or solar plexus, often revealing hidden energetic ties.

Technique 1: Visualisation and Meditation

One of the most accessible methods to cut cords is through visualisation and meditation:

  1. Find a quiet, undisturbed space and get comfy.

  2. Center yourself with a few deep, calming breaths.

  3. Visualize a protective, glowing light around you, creating a secure, sacred space.

  4. Imagine the cords that connect you to what you wish to release. Feel them, see them.

  5. Visualize a cutting toollike golden scissors or a beam of light, and
    cut through each cord gently but firmly.

  6. Fill the spaces with healing light , restoring your energy and bringing peace.

Technique 2: Working with Crystals and Herbs

If you connect more with tangible objects, this method is for you:

  1. Choose crystals like black tourmaline or selenite for their protective properties.

  2. Sweep the crystal around your body , focusing on tension points, and visualise the cords dissolving.

  3. Enhance the ritual with herbs like sage or rosemary. Burn them and
    waft the smoke around, especially at your heart and solar plexus, to clear away old energies.

  4. For a more symbolic act, use an athame, scissors, or knife
    to
    make a cutting motion around your body, affirming your release of attachments.

Technique 3: Candle Magic

For those who love ritual and transformation, candle magic is a powerful method:

  1. Get two candles , selecting colours that resonate: black for releasing, or white for purification.

  2. Tie them together with string, representing the bonds you wish to sever.

  3. Set your intention , holding each candle, thanking the attachment for its lessons.

  4. Light the candles, burn the string, and say a releasing affirmation.

  5. Watch the string burn , symbolising the breaking of the cord and feel the shift in your energy.

Embrace Your Freedom

Each of these methods can stand on its own or be beautifully combined to create your own personalized ritual. Let your intuition guide you as you reclaim your energy and realign yourself with your highest potential. The power lies in your intention to move forward, lighter and clearer.
