Energetic Cording and Psychic Awareness
“No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread.” – Robert Burton
Energetic cords are energetic lines tethering two people at the level of the energy body. They may be seen almost as an umbilical cord, where rather than transferring nutrients, there is an exchange of life force and emotional energy. It is not limited by time or space, as it is not physical. Two people may live on opposite ends of the planet and feel the magnetic pull of an energy cord.
Energetic cords observed during energy healing sessions are documented. One experiment involved one subject thinking about another person or being shown a picture of a stranger, and it registers in the other person’s energy field. Additional terms for the energy field are the luminous egg or luminous body.
The Nature of Energetic Cords
Energetic cords are formed when two people interact and exchange positive or negative energy. They may be formed in any relationship, including romantic partners, family, children, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and enemies. Energetic cords are a concept that many people believe in today.
Cords can go back and forth depending on the nature of the relationship. Some cords are healthy and beneficial when created with mutual understanding or necessary, such as the connection between a parent and child. However, some lines can be unhealthy and draining, like in cases of co-dependence, discord, mistreatment, and abuse. These cords can cause one to feel drained and depleted while the other becomes controlling and empowered.
Cutting is achieved through meditation, communication, visualization, and cord-cutting rituals when a person visualizes cutting energetic cords between one another. It is helpful to know these cords to maintain a healthy relationship and optimize personal energy. By releasing unhealthy cords and strengthening positive ones, we can cultivate more beneficial relationships and keep a vibrant energy body. Cord cutting also helps to make space for new connections, free from the energetic remains of past relationships.
Cording in Romantic Relationships
Aside from the cord between a mother, father, or caregiver and a child, the most widely discussed is that between lovers. Energetic cords can be life-affirming but can also create a sense of entanglement and energetic attachment, even long after a relationship has ended.
This attachment is formed in relationship development through sexual and creative connections. Lovers will share their energy during the emotional and spiritual development of the relationship, but it becomes particularly potent and activated during sex. These cords often form at the level of the stomach and sexual centers but can also appear at the heart, solar plexus, or somewhere else.
When individuals connect on a sexual level, this creates a connection that allows both to source from one another. Ancient Tantric wisdom states that this energy exchange can reverberate for up to seven years after exchanging life force energy if cords are not intentionally released.
Cording may happen as a result of an intense emotional relationship. Attachment may be particularly present if there are emotional and psychological matches between two individuals, which can be affirming if practiced healthily or depleting if unresolved issues circulate. If one is needy, they could drain the other, which may lead to resistance and resentment.
All cords may clear in a variety of manners. When a relationship ends in painful and intense emotions, it may require revisiting the separation event. As always, seeking support through therapy and other methods may help facilitate a smooth transition through a breakup or breakdown in a relationship, romantic or otherwise. Both parties do not need to be engaged in the cord-cutting for it to be cleared.
Soulmates, Twin Flames, and Energetic Cords
There is much discussion and lore around the notion of soulmates and twin flames. It is written in stories and poetry and depicted in theatre and film as idealized and romanticized versions of relationships. There is a whole subcategory of services in the spiritual and self-help communities that are solely devoted to these types of relationships and how to manage them.
Twin flames are the cousin of soulmates. Soulmates are often viewed as romantic partners, a twin flame can come from all walks of life and embody many different types of relationships. Twin flames are not necessarily compatible with romance and are not considered soulmates. Instead, they’re considered two halves of a whole. Thus, intimacy and connection come as naturally as breathing between two twin flames. There is a belief that twins share an invisible, elastic energy cord connecting them. The cord is said to stretch from one twin to another and will also link its energy field to one another without any physical contact.
A firm conviction that a relationship is a soulmate or twin flame connection may create resistance to releasing and healing. Often, when this belief is forced well beyond the life of the relationship (or a relationship that never actually materialized), there is a need to hang on to the hope or idea that it is real. Even if the connection is not helpful or healthy and an individual separates from it, it may reappear and require a deeper look at why there is a sticky attachment.
Basic Cord-Cutting Practice
- Bring your attention and awareness to the person with whom you wish to clear emotional and energetic ties.
- Take some time to let the emotions surface and feel them in the body.
- Be honest with yourself. Do you want to let go of the attachment and move on? This is critical for an actual release and separation to occur.
- You could journal or write down what is coming up on paper that you may later burn if it feels right.
- Picture the other person standing in front of you.
- See the cord of energy that runs between you in your mind.
- Imagine a bright sword, dagger, or pair of scissors; cut the cord, and watch it release and dissolve.
- You may want to get your body involved and motion as if you are slicing or cutting the cord.
- As the cord is cut and dissolved, focus on the emotions and events and allow any feelings to be released.
- As the cord dissolves, see their energy return to them and yours back to you.
- Repeat for any cord you want to cut.
- You may want to bathe in salts or do some physical practice to release the residual energy, including breathwork, dancing, running, shaking, sweating, screaming, or something else that feels true to you.
- Give yourself time, and be gentle with yourself.
A Psychic Perspective
Energetic cording is a line of communication or energy stream that connects individuals or groups with color or vibration and includes images or pictures. It is primarily energetic but may also affect physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Cording often occurs due to matching pictures in clairvoyant terms, and clearing the match between individuals or groups helps neutralize the charge. This release and shift in energy may also create space to move on and feel senior to the dynamics in the relationship. This change may be achieved using clairvoyant tools and meditation.
A psychic may see energetic cords and offer communication during an energy reading or healing. This may include information on the person, the cord’s location, impact, and anything else that may seem pertinent. They can create a space for the readee or healee to look at their relationships through a new lens and move through the energies that may surface. During clairvoyant healing, it is possible to facilitate cord release with healing guides. Although a psychic or energy healer may help an individual identify and release cords, they may reappear if there is no genuine intention to separate from this person.
Cords can re-form and require that one repeat this action. Ultimately it is up to the individual to desire and decide to release and heal from cording and the relationships they are attached to. Relationship attachments include physical relationships, intentions, thoughts, and energies that may linger for months or years. If this persists, it is helpful to take an introspective look at why you want the relationship to live on well past its life, as what you may be holding onto might point to what you feel you lack within yourself.
Recognize if you need more support through counseling or therapy to help move through this process. As with any practice or method of letting go and moving on from relationships, it is crucial to take ownership and claim your power; no person, therapist, psychic, or ritual will be effective if you are not ready to let go of the attachment and heal. Ultimately, it is this choice that creates lasting changes.
