How to Do a Cord Cutting Meditation

Understand Cord Cutting Meditation

• Cord cutting is a spiritual and psychological practice designed to release unhealthy energetic attachments to people, situations, habits, or emotions.

• “Cords” are symbolic connections that can drain energy or keep us tied to past experiences.

• Purpose: regain freedom, heal emotionally, reclaim personal power, and create space for new growth.

When to Practice Cord Cutting

• After the end of a relationship (romantic, friendship, family).

• When feeling drained by someone’s energy.

• When stuck in past trauma, resentment, or guilt.

• Before entering a new chapter—job change, move, or fresh start.

• Anytime you feel you need to let go of what no longer serves you.

Prepare Your Space

• Choose a quiet, comfortable environment.

• Dim lights, light a candle, or use incense to set intention.

• Have a journal nearby for reflections afterward.

• Optional: crystals, calming music, or guided meditation track.

Set Your Intention

• Be clear on what you’re releasing: a person, memory, habit, or feeling.

• Example: I release the energy drain of this past relationship and call my power back.

• Intention makes the practice specific and powerful.

Ground Yourself

• Sit or lie down comfortably.

• Close your eyes.

• Take slow, deep breaths—in through the nose, out through the mouth.

• Visualize roots extending from your body into the earth for stability.

Visualize the Energy Cord

• Imagine a cord connecting you to the person, memory, or pattern.

• See where the cord attaches to your body (heart, solar plexus, throat, etc.).

• Observe its color, thickness, and texture—each detail reflects the energy dynamic.

Call in Support (Optional)

• Some traditions invite spiritual guides, angels, or divine light to assist.

• You can simply visualize being surrounded by protective, loving energy.

• This support strengthens the process of release.

Perform the Cord Cutting

• Visualize a tool: golden scissors, a sword, or light beam.

• With clarity and compassion, cut the cord.

• See it dissolve, burn, or fall away.

• Imagine the other person’s cord returning to them, yours to you.

Heal and Seal the Space

• After cutting, imagine golden or white healing light flowing into the places where the cord was attached.

• Feel your body filling with warmth, peace, and strength.

• Affirm: I am whole. I am free. I reclaim my energy.

Express Gratitude

• Thank yourself for the courage to release.

• Thank the other person or memory for the lessons learned, even if painful.

• Gratitude transforms closure into empowerment.

End the Meditation

• Take three deep breaths.

• Wiggle fingers and toes, open eyes slowly.

• Sit quietly for a moment before resuming activity.

Journal Reflection

• Write down what cords you cut, how it felt, and what insights came up.

• Journaling reinforces release and helps track progress.

Repeat if Necessary

• Some cords are strong and require repeated sessions.

• Each practice weakens the energetic tie.

• Over time, the sense of freedom becomes stronger and more permanent.
