Cord cutting is a healing technique to help “unhook” you from draining or unhealthy emotional dynamics, freeing you from relational patterns that squander your mental energy. It is important to note that cord cutting does not seek to remove healthy emotional bonds with loved ones; rather, it clears away negative emotional obstructions that are limiting you consciously and unconsciously. Energy healers can help you catalyze this healing process, removing cords of attachment, and allowing relationships to grow into more evolved states—or even for you to outgrow them altogether and leave them in the past

 

Energy work moves you into a higher-vibrational state that allows you to transcend less evolved ways of being including unhealthy relationships that keep you anchored in a lower vibration of functioning. Releasing cords brings you closer to enlightenment regardless (think, for instance, of the Buddhist teaching that attachment is the root of all suffering). Cord cutting is seen as a practice to untether your soul from low-frequency hindrances.

 

The cord can represent your connection to the whole person, or effect they have had on you. When we cut the cord it's important to express gratitude to the person for the knowledge and strength your relationship with them has given you as even a negative relationship allows us to grow wiser.
