Understanding Reiki Cord Cutting
Energy cords are an integral part of our lives, affecting our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. These invisible energy cord connections can be formed through interactions with your family members, people, places, or things, whether positive or negative energy flowing, and can have cords attached to us.
Carrying these energetic cords can drain our energy, trigger negative emotions, and create unhealthy energy flows and patterns in our relationships that might drain us if left unchecked.
Reiki cord cutting is a technique used in energy clearing that helps release these cords, promoting healing and balance.
Unlike other forms of energy clearing, reiki cord cutting works with the universal life force energy to facilitate the release of these cords gently. It involves a combination of visualization, intention setting, and Reiki energy to dissolve and release these cords from our energetic field.
Cutting energy cords is essential for spiritual growth and well-being. By releasing the energetic cord, you can regain your energy, heal emotional wounds from your past relationships, and move forward without being held back by negative patterns or emotions.
It can also establish healthy boundaries in your relationships, empowering them to create more meaningful and fulfilling connections with others.
How to Perform Reiki Cord Cutting
You need to know some things to perform reiki cord cutting to make the process successful.
Preparation and setting intention for the cord-cutting process
The first step if you want to cut energetic cords is to prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This means setting the intention to release yourself from anything that no longer serves you.
Here are the things you need in preparation and setting intention for the cord-cutting rituals:
- Find a quiet and comfortable space where you will not be disturbed during the process.
- Set an intention for the cord-cutting process. You can write down what you want to release or let go of, such as negative emotions, old patterns, or unhealthy attachments.
- Use reiki or other energy techniques to ground and center yourself and clear any negative energy in the space.
- Call in any spiritual support you feel comfortable with, such as archangel Michael, some guides, or ancestors.
Step-by-step instructions for performing Reiki cord cutting on yourself or others
Reiki cord cutting can be done on yourself or by another person. If you are doing it on yourself, you must be comfortable to relax and focus on your breath. If you do it by someone else, they will also need to be in a comfortable position.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for performing reiki cord cutting on yourself or others:
Sit in a comfortable position.
Focus on your breath, and take a few deep, slow breaths to relax your body and mind.
Place your hands opposite your heart chakra and send reiki energy to yourself or the person you work with.
Visualize a cord connecting you to the person, situation, or energy you want to release.
See or sense the cord’s location in your body, and imagine a pair of scissors or a sharp knife in your hands.
Intend to cut the cord with love and compassion, acknowledging that it is for the highest good of all involved.
Use the scissors or knife to sever the cord, physically or energetically. You may feel a release or a sense of lightness as you do so.
Send healing Reiki energy to the area where the cord was attached, and ask for any energetic debris to be cleared away.
Take a few deep breaths to align yourself and integrate the process.
Thank any spiritual support that you called in, and release them.
Incorporating visualization, breath work, and affirmations in the cord-cutting process
When performing cord cutting, it can be helpful to visual representation in your mind to cut cords, and any negative energy attached to them is being released from your energy field. You may also want to visualize yourself surrounded by white light before beginning the process.
Visualize the cord as a color or texture, and imagine it dissolving or disappearing after it is cut.
Use deep breathing to release tension or resistance and invite fresh energy.
Repeat affirmations or mantras that resonate with you, such as “I release all that no longer serves me” or “I am free from unhealthy attachments.”
