A spiritual guide to cord-cutting for emotional and energetic release.
A cord-cutting ritual is a powerful way to release energetic attachments to people, places, or situations that are draining you. Paul Wagner, a clairvoyant with over 30 years of experience and a devotee of Amma, has guided thousands in this practice of reclaiming their energy. He teaches that cord-cutting is an act of self-love, allowing you to move forward with freedom and clarity.
We form energetic cords with everyone we interact with. These cords are invisible threads of energy that connect us. Healthy cords are based on love and mutual respect. Unhealthy cords, however, can be draining and keep us stuck in negative patterns. A cord-cutting ritual is a way to sever these unhealthy attachments.
Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. You will need two candles to represent yourself and the person or situation you are cutting cords with. You will also need a piece of string or cord to connect the candles. Before you begin, take some time to journal about the relationship and why you are ready to release it.
Place the candles a few inches apart and tie the string around them. Light both candles. As you watch the flames, visualize the unhealthy energetic cord between you. State your intention to release this attachment with love and forgiveness. You can say something like, ‘I release this cord with love and gratitude for the lessons learned. I reclaim my energy and my power.’ Then, safely cut the string with scissors or allow the flame to burn through it.
Once the cord is severed, take some time for self-care. You may feel a range of emotions, from sadness to relief. This is normal. Take a salt bath, go for a walk in nature, or do something that nourishes your soul. It’s important to be gentle with yourself as you integrate this energetic shift.
