Understanding Energy Cords of Attachment and their Impact on Our Lives

We are all interconnected through subtle energy cords. These can both nourish us, or drain us. I’m going to focus on those that drain us, these are energy cords that attach to another source in an undesirable way. At the end of this blog, I have included a exercise that you can try out for yourself!

These invisible attachments are formed and function very much on the subconscious level. They can attach into any part of our subtle anatomy, body and soul. They are non-linear and can affect us across time and space. They can form between people, groups, places, times, things, events, entities, the deceased, forces, they can be passed down genealogically, or carried through from lifetime to lifetime.

Learning to identify and release the disharmonious energy cords is an important part of healing relationships, bringing ourselves back into coherence and taking back your personal power.

An easy way to tell you have an energy cord is if you can’t detach from a certain person, or group of people no matter how hard you try. Feeling drained, or emotionally fragile after spending time with certain people Absorbing another person’s moods/emotions even when apart. Obsessive, or co-dependent thoughts about certain individuals Difficulty letting go of past relationships, or moving on from hurts We can take on the pain of other people’s illnesses, There are often unhealthy energy cords involved in Chronic illness.

How they can form and how to prevent them from forming

When we start to do this work it is important to begin to cultivate in ourselves healthier ways of being, so as not to create unhealthy cords and attachments. Life is full of experiences that provoke strong emotional reaction, but it is how we handle them that shapes our energetic landscape.

If we are continuously feeding anger and resentment, we risk perpetuating unhealthy cords.

For example, when something happens that naturally causes us to feel violated and angry, we can continuously dwell on the incident replaying it over and over filling ourselves with resentment and anger we risk creating an unhealthy cord.

If we decide to allow ourselves to fully feel the experience, acknowledging the anger, resentment and whatever else we feel, letting ourselves move through the experience, without going constantly revisiting the story we prevent the creation of new cords and the storing of more unprocessed emotions into our subtle anatomy and physiology.

This isn’t about repression, but about finding healthy ways to process our emotional experiences. Life is meant to be felt. By honouring our emotional intelligence and consciously working through our feelings, we pave the way for healthier, more authentic connections.

Releasing Energy Cords

Now, let’s talk about releasing the cords we already have. There are various techniques in which to cut, dissolve, evaporate, release energy cords. It is best to find what feels right to you. Here are a few examples:

• Cutting cord meditations – visualize cords being severed with a knife, scissors
• EFT tapping can be useful
• Sage smudging can help clear and protect your energy field
• Physically removing yourself from toxic relationships can help weaken and eventually release cords
• Forgiveness – forgiving past hurts to dissolve cords of resentment or emotional karma.

I prefer to dissolve and disintegrate cords so there is nothing to be reformed. This can take practice and may need to be repeated depending on how strong and old the cord is.

Try out the practice below to release attachments. Through gentle visualization, let go of energetic cords that no longer serve you.
