To begin, cord attachments, also known as ties or simply cords, are energetic attachments that connect into your energy from another person, situation or event. While there are healthy cords, there are also negative cords that can influence your decisions, emotions, and thoughts, depending on how the cord is connected to your energy.

Typically, the quality and apparent location of the cords will reflect the type of connection you have or had. People who are in love will have cords connecting their heart chakras. If you have a sexual relationship, the lower chakras will be connected. Emotional connections tend to be in the second chakra as well.

Cords can reflect the nature of our relationships in other ways, too. If you had ever felt unheard in a relationship, for example, your throat chakra would be affected.

Once energy cords are removed, it reduces the likelihood that we’ll repeat the same mistakes in our current relationships that we made in the past.

Energy cords typically cause a strong draw toward addictions and addictive behaviours, as well as toxic sexuality, toxic individuals, or self-destructive behaviour. Times to do a cord removal (after the following events):

It's important to understand that candle rituals are an study. The duration of the rituals intention is determined by your particular energy, with a normal period of up to 7 days for the energy to begin to shift.

Please be patient, as the outcomes may differ, some may experience immediate shifts, others may notice more gradual changes.

All that is required of you is to trust the process and to be accepting and open to receiving the energies; any negative thoughts can block the ritual. Keep your vibrations high and your energy positive. Always set clear intentions before any ritual; you may find affirmations or a mantra to recite helpful.

Remember to keep your focus on changing your own energy, not the other person’s.

You might also experience a surge in energy. The energy will no longer cling to you and you will no longer feel drained or burdened by past energy. This increased vitality indicates you're successfully severing the negative ties depleting your energy reserves.

Another common indication that the cord removal ritual is working is a reduced emotional reaction to thoughts about a specific person or situation.

• Achieving closure from past relationships: The act of cord cutting can provide a sense of finality and closure to past relationships that may still be causing emotional distress.

• Healing emotional wounds: By severing the energetic cords tied to painful memories or experiences, the ritual can facilitate healing and recovery from those emotional wounds.

• Freeing up energy for personal development: Energetic cords can drain energy. By cutting them, you free up this energy to be used for your personal growth and development.

• Promoting emotional growth: The practice of cord cutting provides a symbolic act of releasing past resentment, regret, or bitterness — enabling you to let go of any emotional baggage and better respond to future emotional experiences. 

• Facilitating a shift towards positivity: By severing ties with past negative experiences, you can welcome an energetic shift, paving the way for positivity and growth in your life.

No! This is one of the most common myths concerning cord removals. You can remove energy ties with individuals you trust, love, and even have neutral feelings for.

It's annoying, but sometimes several cord removals are required. Certainly, this is true when we remove the cord in our current relationships. If you’re always around and interacting with that person, you’re going to be corded! Cords can also be beneficial, so that's a plus. We simply want to ensure that unhealthy cords don’t linger.

Yes! It can be beneficial to current relationships to do regular “maintenance” by clearing negative cords even from people we wish to remain close to. 

Scanning your energy field for these links and gently releasing them might help you become more aware of how you may be unintentionally feeling or acting in your relationships. It will also assist in removing energies that do not belong to you and may be leading you to be confused about your own fears or needs versus those of the person you are in a connect to. This is especially essential for individuals who are very empathetic and struggle to distinguish their own emotions from those of others.

No not unless you tell them.

Although it’s normal to hear from an estranged parent or ex-partner if the healing you receive is focused on removing negative energy ties from them.

Our thoughts and beliefs about others and our relationships are powerful influences on how those connections play out. Once the old stories start to clear, new potential is created. It is as if the other person senses that, and feels compelled to reach out. If this happens with someone that you’ve distanced yourself from, you’re not obligated to reconnect. You can take it as confirmation that a lot of old energy was released. If you do wish to revive the relationship, the cord-cutting can help you restart on better foundation.
