Hey, beautiful soul, welcomeback, or welcome in for another
episode of spirit speakeasy.
Today, we're diving into thetruth about cord cutting, what,
why and how to do it. You willwalk away from this episode,
knowing what do we mean by theword cord what is cord cutting?

(01:05):
How are these cords created orformed? Can cords hurt you? And
I'm going to teach you somequick tips for how to DIY cord
cutting for yourself. So I'mreally excited to get into this
episode, but I want to justmention for me, cord cutting is
one of those things that's sortof along the same lines of this

(01:25):
idea of soul mate or twin flame.
It's one of these things thathas gotten picked up at
different times in either likepop culture or just completely
misunderstood most of the time.
It's often framed in like, ascary way. And I think there's
just such misunderstanding aboutwhat cords are, what cord

(01:49):
cutting is, why you would wantto do it, or wouldn't want to do
it, and how to do it. I thinkthat we're a lot of the things
that I've seen out there aboutit, it's like this magic,
energetic solution, which, likemost things, I hate to spoil it
for you, but it's it's not, it'sprofound and powerful, but it's
not like a magic wand. So we'regoing to learn all about it. I

(02:11):
do for those of you that areregular listeners, thank you so
much, and welcome in. I want togive a quick update, and then
we'll dive right in. So you mayhave noticed, if you're here
with me weekly that these lastfew weeks have been just me. In
the fall, I had severalinterviews scheduled, and for
one reason or another, peoplehad to cancel or, you know,
emergencies rose up, and thenthrough the holidays, people

(02:34):
haven't been available toschedule. So when you see it
just me for a few weeks in arow, just means that something's
going on with the interviewside. We will start having
guests again soon. I'm workingon that, but in the meantime,
there are so many topics that Ialways have a list going of
things I want to dive into withyou. So we will be just us for a

(02:56):
while. Also, don't forget aboutthe upcoming workshop. If you're
watching this the month that itis delivered to you the workshop
Saturday, January 25 it'scalled, take charge of 2025 with
the power of your intuition. Iwill link it in the show notes,
and there will also be some sortof little it's called dynamic
content, some sort of littlemessage from me that pops on

(03:18):
sometime during this episode toteach you about it. I would love
to have you there with me, evenif you can't make the live
session, it's, it's from 10am to4pm Pacific, with some breaks in
there, three separate sessions.
So it's like a really meatyworkshop. So I hope that you
will get in for that. There'llbe a replay if you can't make it
live. And I'm super excitedabout that. Okay, so those

(03:41):
announcements being given, let'sdive right into the truth about
cord cutting. First, I want tojust touch into what do we mean
by the word cord because a lotof times, you know, I'm always
complaining about the language,as you guys know, or or just
bringing our awareness to it, wehear these words, or we use

(04:01):
these words, and we don't stopto think like, well, what does
that actually mean? And therewas a time when I first started
becoming aware of any of thiswork that I was hearing cord
cutting or cords, and the wordattachments kind of used
interchangeably. And then theword attachment started to be
about, you know, scary,imaginary things attaching to

(04:24):
our energy, which we can alsolet me know if you guys want to
dive into that at some point,because that's, again, often
misconceived or misunderstood.
But I was thinking of a chordthe way it was always framed, or
the talks I had heard about it,or the way I'd heard it
explained, it sounded like thiskind of yucky or scary or spider

(04:46):
webby situation that someoneelse could kind of connect to us
in a way, and that's really notwhat it is. So let's start by
clarifying some points aboutwhat a chord. Actually is before
we dive into the cutting aspectof it. So number one, these are
energetic chords, not physicalchords. So it's not like there

(05:09):
is something physicallyconnected or attached to you,
but it's an energetic connectionand an energetic chord, and it
just is essentially what itsounds like. It's a it's a wave
of energy because it's nonphysical. So it's not like a
physical chord. It's anenergetic chord. Point number
two, what you need to know aboutwhat a chord is, not all chords

(05:33):
are quote, unquote bad. Youknow, I don't love the the black
and white of bad and good, butthere are some chords that,
yeah, it's worth our while towork on releasing. But some
chords, you know, these bad ornegative ones, can perpetuate
upset or dependency orimbalance, but other types of
chords foster love and growthand mutual support. So start

(05:58):
just opening your mind to thisidea of it's not a one size fits
all, Oh, something we definitelywant to get rid of. But there's,
there's much more gray in here.
It's a spectrum like everythingelse. And point number three
about understanding what chordsactually are is to understand
that chords are essentiallyemotions that create an
energetic frequency to yourhuman energy field like to you,

(06:21):
almost like an energetic emailthat goes out, and when it's
received, it goes into a folder.
So it's the emotion that createsthe momentum or the activity or
the charge, whatever word makessense to you in there for this

(06:41):
energetic connection, or cord,so to speak. I also just quickly
want to say, Please give me somegrace with this topic. A lot of
the a lot of the I don't know,explanation or understanding of
this energy work doesn'tnecessarily directly and exactly

(07:03):
translate into language, and wedon't all experience it quite
the same. So, you know, maybe ifI was like a quantum physicist
or something, but I'm not, so Ihope my examples and analogies
that I'm going to give as wemove through this will make
sense, and I'll try to explainit in different ways, even when
I was thinking of that emailanalogy. The reason I used it is
because, like, we can sometimesemail goes right into a folder

(07:25):
and we're not even aware of itat all, but it is someone kind
of energetically pinging you,which we'll talk more about in
just a second here. So I alsowant to have a bit of a working
definition. Now that we kind ofhave some understanding of what
a chord is, I want to have aworking definition with you
about what energetic cordcutting means. So energetic cord

(07:47):
cutting is a spiritual practice,and it's really aimed at
releasing unhealthy or drainingor outdated energetic ties
between yourself and anotherperson or situation or past
experience, that's right. Cordsaren't always about a person,
necessarily. Cord cutting is notalways about severing the

(08:09):
relationships entirely, but it'sabout recalibrating those
energetic boundaries orenergetic connections to allow
for healthier dynamics, personalgrowth boundaries all of that.
For example, we always have arelationship with our past self,
right? It's not like we cansomehow disown our past self.

(08:30):
It's part of us, but we canlearn how to live with that
energy, and that's within ourability to work with. How do we
relate to the energy of our pastself? How do we feel about our
past self? For example, all ofthat is part of this mix when it
comes to chords. So sometimes,yeah, it's a relationship or a

(08:51):
situation that's severedcompletely from us, but not
always. Sometimes it's justabout changing the energy of the
connection or on the other sideof that coin, you know, like I
was saying, sometimes cordcutting is done to help heal a
relationship and or a situationthat's already severed and like,
quote, unquote, out of ourlives, have you ever known

(09:14):
someone who was still veryconnected to, like, a past
trauma As part of their mainidentity? That's probably a
heavily corded event. Theyprobably have a lot of
energetic, emotional cords tiedto that traumatic event. Now we
can't erase the traumatic event,but we can change the energy of

(09:35):
how we relate to it, how weprocess it in the present,
right? And as we go forward,that can shift and change some
more. So this is why I thinkcords are just so commonly
misunderstood. And the thing toknow here is emotional work and
personal development, orpersonal growth, work is also a
main part of this idea of cordcutting. So I.

(10:00):
It's just like everything else.
There's no magic solution, andwe are required to do our free
will work as part of this. I'mgoing to talk about this a
little bit more when we touchinto the actual like cord
cutting how to later in theepisode. But the thing with cord
cutting is, even if we dissolveor cut the cord, for example, if
we haven't done the emotionalwork or personal growth or

(10:22):
processing that cords just gonnashow right back up, because that
emotion is still having charge,energetic charge or power behind
it. So so that that begs thequestion, then, how do these
energetic chords form? Right?
There are kind of three mainways that these energetic chords

(10:44):
can form. There are emotionalinteractions as the first form.
So energetic chords can formwhen we experience strong
emotions towards someone orsomething. These emotions could
be positive feelings such aslove or compassion or joy or
negative or challenging feelingssuch as anger or resentment or

(11:05):
fear. For for instance, apositive example could be like a
deep bond of affection with aloved one that may create an
energetic connection that feelsnurturing and supportive. I'm
sure you can think of a friendor family member or other other
loved one that you've had atsome point in your life that
felt like a positive, supportivebond, right? A negative example

(11:30):
or a challenged example would bepersistent feelings of guilt or
unresolved anger towards someonethat may create a cord that
feels heavy or draining, kind oflike a that proverbial monkey on
our back, right? So it can feellike that when it's a
challenging or negative exampleof a chord. These chords can

(11:52):
result from emotional investmentor entanglement, whether through
intimate relationships or familyties or even a fleeting but like
meaningful or intense encounterwith a person. And it can also
be about experiences or things,right? We can have chords to

(12:13):
past versions of ourself orpotentials that didn't come to
fruition, to an event thathappened, to a job or position
that we held. So it's it's muchbroader than we think of it. The
second way that these energeticchords can form is through
mental interactions. Now this isa little bit different. Mental
interactions involve thethoughts and beliefs that we

(12:36):
form about others, like peopleor situations. So when we focus
our attention on someone,whether through like obsessive
thinking or obsessive worryingor strong mental preoccupations,
like we just they're on ourmind, we keep thinking about
them. We're, you know, whetherit's a loving thought or a
challenging thought that we'rehaving, the energetic chords can

(13:00):
develop this way. Please note,this really traces back to an
emotion that has been triggeredeven subconsciously. So even
with this mental interactionthat's creating a chord, it's
the emotion underneath that'sgiving this energetic cord. It's
it's power, it's connection. Butsometimes, depending where we

(13:21):
are in our growth or healingaround whatever this topic is, a
person, a situation, sometimeswe might not feel it as an
emotion, but there is always anemotion underneath. An example
is think about a time that maybeyou have, like replayed
arguments, or really spendingtime overthinking what someone
else thinks of you, or maybeidealizing someone

(13:46):
in a in a mildly, evenunconsciously jealous way. These
can all create chords, andreally, the other thing to know
is it's about how our mentalenergy is preoccupied, or how
it's being used, because it canreally drain us as the as the

(14:07):
person having the emotion,right? But it's the emotion
underneath that gives this cordits energy. It's not just
thinking about someone youhaven't thought of in a while,
or seeing someone doingsomething wonderful and thinking
like, oh, wow, that's reallycool that they can do that. Or I
really, I really want to learnthat it's not that it's, it's an
emotion underneath, right? It's,and this is where it becomes so

(14:31):
powerful to be able to identifyour emotions, because, you know,
resentment and jealousy livevery close to each other on the
spectrum, but it's knowing kindof which is which. Anyway, I
digress. The third, the thirdway that these chords can be
created or formed is throughspiritual interactions. A

(14:51):
spiritual interaction refers tothe soul level connection, or
like karmic ties that we formwith others, past life
connections, if you. You believein that this can stem from
shared spiritual experiences,agreements, or even sometimes
unresolved emotions. This canhave been an emotional

(15:12):
connection that has continued,like I was saying, from a past
lifetime experience together assouls. If you believe in that
which you know I do, even verybrief encounters can be deeply
meaningful and leave an imprintif they touch upon our deeper
spiritual growth or personalspiritual evolution, for

(15:32):
example, or like the core of whowe are. An example that I
thought of for this was ifyou've if you've had a mentor
who profoundly impacts yourspiritual journey, and it
doesn't. I want to be verycautious here, because spiritual
in this context doesn't meanreligious. It's the unfolding of
who you are as a soul in thislifetime experience. So it could

(15:56):
be a writing mentor, it could bea professional mentor, could be
a fitness mentor, could be anartistic mentor. In my case, I'm
mostly even though I have hadlots of great mentors outside of
this spiritual work, I'mthinking of my mediumship
mentors or psychic developmentmentors, but a mentor who
profoundly impacts yourspiritual journey, you may have

(16:18):
a chord created with them, aconnection through this shared
understanding and experience,this mentorship, if you will. On
the other hand, a romanticrelationship, bond with someone,
which is, by the way, also aspiritual connection, may create
chords that manifest as likerepeating patterns or challenges

(16:40):
until we as the individual,address the underlying emotions
and release the pattern, mostpatterns, particularly like
challenged or like, quote,unquote, unhealthy patterns in
our relationship. It's anunhealed emotion. So and again,
relationships, intimate,romantic relationships, and
either, even sometimes, likefamilial relationships are a

(17:02):
spiritual connection. Maybe I'llmaybe we'll talk more about that
in another episode. Soessentially, those three ways
that it can be created isemotional, mental or spiritual
interactions, but all of themhave some emotional underpinning
which creates the the energeticcharge that that makes the cord

(17:23):
connect or or creates thatattachment or bond. So when you
this is a way it might beshowing up in your own life, or
maybe you can identify it foryourself or even a close friend
when you check up on someonelike a crush or an ex or someone
you're mildly stalking in ahealthy way on social media, for

(17:43):
example, or you're askingthrough friends to check up on
someone, maybe you areessentially opening an energetic
pathway of connection. You'rereaching out. You know, it might
feel like you're just being nosyor just wanting a little bit of
juice or information about them,right? But you're actually
energetically wanting to reachout to plug in to their energy.

(18:07):
And I say plug in in quotes,quote unquote, plug in. But
energetically, that's what'shappening. You're pinging or
plugging into their energy. It'snot the action of looking or
inquiring that makes a quote,unquote, good or bad cord. It's
the emotion underneath. So evenjust you mildly stalking an ex

(18:27):
on social media, you're plugginginto their energy. You're
creating a chord. You justcreated a chord, if you did
that. And again, it's not theaction of looking or inquiring,
it's the emotion underneath. Soa healthy cord that could be
created if you're just likeperusing maybe an ex or an old
friend, if you see them and youhave the emotion within you,

(18:52):
genuinely, I'm genuinely sohappy that they're doing well.
Look at their family that'swonderful, wishing them
blessings and love and luck andall the things, whatever, that's
a healthy chord. An unhealthychord would be if you see that
ex and their new family, forexample, and you have this
feeling in the pit of your soul,really, this fiery or obsessive

(19:15):
or spiraling, and it might noteven be that deep for you. It
might just feel mildly annoyed.
So that's an unhealthy cord.
It's all about the emotion thatis driving that cord from
underneath. And the other thingto know is sometimes a chord
goes both ways, right? Sometimesit's me engaging with you. You
engaging with me. It's a mutualback and forth chord, like we

(19:38):
each have a chord. But sometimesit's one way, like that example
we just described, where we'relooking at someone that we maybe
known from the past, forexample. So the next question, I
think that naturally comes then,is, Can chords hurt you? So if
we are pinging other people, or,you know, energetically plugging

(19:58):
into other people with. Chords.
Certainly, other people areplugging into us with chords.
Can chords hurt you? Can someoneelse's cord hurt you? Not
really. And I think this is oneof the misconceptions where it's
like, oh, there's so many chordsall over me, or it's, it's a I
might, I might like, just causea little bit of stir with this.

(20:19):
But it's those healers orspiritual worker type people
that are always wanting to tellpeople, like, there's a curse on
you. There's a it's this kind ofthing, like, oh, other people
are putting the evil eye on you.
They're,yeah, they're they're putting
chords on you or attention onyou, that's negative. So can

(20:41):
someone else's cords hurt you?
Not really. Again. It's moreabout doing our own emotional
work and personal growth anddevelopment. Think of someone
who's like in the limelight,who's either like a celebrity or
like a public figure, forexample, if they're taking care
of themselves and working onways to deal with that level of

(21:02):
attention on them. They can begreat, no problem, right?
Successful, balanced. But ifthey're not, they can kind of
succumb to all the pressure ofthe way we say it in our common
culture is like the eyes onthem, right? Quote, unquote,
lots of eyes on them. It's toomuch pressure. And the truth is,
there's obviously other factorsthat go into this, if someone is

(21:25):
a public figure, and whetherthey're in their own health and
strength or not, but you get theidea, I hope so if someone
else's cords or attention on youcould take you down. We wouldn't
have public figures andcelebrities and influencers and
people with millions offollowers looking at their stuff
and thinking about them, right?
So just keep that in mindwhenever you hear or see

(21:49):
something about chords rising upthat's fearful they can't no one
else's chords can hurt you. Sowhy do we care about chords, and
why are we paying attention tothem. Someone else touching into
our energy cannot necessarilyhurt us. However. One if you're
sensitive, you might becomeaware of it, even if you don't

(22:11):
recognize exactly what it is, itcould feel like someone do you
ever get that feeling whenyou're alone and you feel like
someone's looking at you, orsomeone's like, watching over
your shoulder. That could besomeone connecting in
energetically and plugging intoyour energy or cord. It could
also feel like, Have you ever, Ijust did this earlier this week?

(22:32):
Have you ever text someone andthen they say, like, oh my gosh,
I was just talking about you, orwe were just, I was just
thinking about you. That's themkind of pinging you with their
energy. I know I keep sayingping. I think does anyone
remember? Am I the only personthat remembers the BlackBerry
and we used to be able to pingyour friends and just send like

(22:52):
a little ping. It's not quitelike a text message. Now, I
guess it would be like Apple airtags, and you just ping the
thing to see where it is. Sosomeone is just pinging you and
your energy, and then youbecause they're thinking about
you, you text them, and theysay, I was just thinking about
you. That's an example ofsomeone else attaching a cord to
you. And the truth is, werelease these cords out of our

(23:13):
energy field all the time, justnaturally, like we slough off
skin cells, we are changing outour energy all the time.
Sometimes it happens throughsleep, like overnight when we're
sleeping, sometimes throughmeditation or moving our
physical energy. Or sometimes itjust happens over time,
sometimes through things likegrounding. If you have a

(23:35):
grounding practice, it can wecan release chords through
music. It's really by changingour energetic frequency, or
raising our vibration, if youcould, like, have a little dance
party in your kitchen and getreally joyful that will release
cords that aren't serving you,or release other people's cords
in your space. So it's reallywe're doing it all the time,

(23:56):
unconsciously, the cords thatactually, quote, unquote, hurt
us or make us feel uncomfortableor even stuck are the chords we
create to another person orthing. Hear me now, loud and
clear, it is not the chords thatother people are sending your
way that can make you feel muddyor stuck or I'm using this word

(24:18):
hurt in quotations, because it'snot going to create like a
physical illness, for example,but we're going to go into it
now, as you can see what I mean,how it can kind of hurt you, but
it's really the chords that weourselves create to another
person or thing that's what canbe problematic for us in our

(24:39):
energy. Okay, so how this canhurt you? It can drain your
energy. Meaning, if you arehaving undercurrent of angry or
obsessive or unhealthy, likeyucky feeling, I guess,
whatever, whatever emotion. Youlike in their thoughts towards

(25:00):
someone else that is drainingour energy, you're giving your
precious time and attention tothem. So that's how it can hurt
you. It can distract you fromother things that you're wanting
to be doing. It can createemotional spiraling. Sometimes
it can keep us from movingforward, if we keep going back

(25:20):
to that emotion, to thatconnection, we keep thinking
about it, we keep stewing on it,it's affecting our actual life.
It can keep us feeling likestuck. So really, the reason to
work on cord cutting is foryourself, but it's your own
cords that really you need towork on. So it's kind of like

(25:42):
doing your own housekeeping oryour own you know, cleaning your
your own energy, really is whatthis is. So really, the entire
reason to do cord cutting is notfor other people, it's for
ourself, and it's not aboutother people's cords. It's about
our own cords. I think this isso commonly misunderstood, but
really, most of this spiritualwork comes back to working on

(26:05):
ourselves, being responsible forour own energy, our own
emotions. How we are expendingenergy is our mind rolling and
wrestling and you know what Imean, going crazy over over
something that's something weneed to address, not something
someone else is going toaddress. We can't change other

(26:25):
people. We can't control otherpeople's actions or thoughts or
inactions or emotions. So it'sreally only just like most
things, it's really only us thatwe can work on. So how do we do
DIY cord cutting, what you needto know? Let me just tell you a
little bit about what you needto know, and then I will give

(26:47):
you some options of how youcould maybe try this work on
your own, if you take nothingelse away from this session,
take this if you only do theenergetic part of quote,
unquote, cord cutting, like thepsychic energy healing part, the
cord will just come right back.
It's the emotion behind the cordor underneath it, that creates

(27:11):
the energy. So true cord cuttingis in two parts. There's a
psychic energy healing, orenergetic work, part of the cord
cutting, and there's a personaldevelopment part of the cord
cutting, if you don't do bothparts, it's essentially, it's

(27:33):
it's um, yeah, it doesn't makeany sense. It's essentially,
like washing your car in arainstorm, like, what is the
point of that? You just didnothing so you could do just
regular cord cutting. But like Isaid, it's happening anyway,
other people's cords when you'redoing lots of other activities,
like we talked about. So partone of the cord cutting is

(27:57):
intended for you to work onyourself, cord cutting in
someone else's energy. Oh yeah,this is the other thing I wanted
to tell you guys really quick.
So the purpose of this, it'sreally just intended to work on
ourselves, for ourselves. Manypeople, one know about cord
cutting for other people, forsomeone else, and it usually has
one of two effects, either one,nothing at all, like they don't

(28:20):
know it doesn't change. Theyhave no idea that you're cutting
their cords for them or on theirbehalf. Or two, the other effect
it can have is it's kind of likethe energetic equivalent of
going into someone's house andunplugging all their electronics
and resetting everything it canthey might notice it. They might
not depending on howenergetically sensitive they

(28:43):
are, but it can set them back intheir own healing or processing
or growth. It's not advisable todo cord cutting on someone else.
There are different techniques Iuse and teach for healers. You
guys know, I still still amedium. I still see clients, and
I still practice Reiki andenergy healing with clients. So
there are a couple differenttechniques I use and teach to be

(29:06):
used on others as an experiencedhealer, but outside of that
setting, outside of like someonecoming to you for energy
healing, and you're anexperienced healer or or teacher
or whatever. Outside of thatsetting, there's no need to
worry about someone else'schords at all, like you don't
need to do it for someone else,not your kids, not your pets,

(29:28):
not not anyone you care about,definitely not an ex or someone
that's out of your life. It'snot about us trying to fix
someone else. If that is yourintention or how you're feeling,
there's something to investigatethere about your emotions
underneath that desire to fixsomeone else, it often comes in
the mask of like wanting tohelp, but truly, there's usually

(29:50):
something else going on underthere. So cord cutting for
yourself, not for others. I'mgoing to give you the two parts.
Parts. Because essentially, likeI said, this works in two parts.
There is this spiritual orpsychic energy part, and I keep
saying it differently, becausesome people like to think of it
as energy healing. Some peoplelike to think of it as psychic
energy work. Some people like tothink of it as

(30:15):
just clearing our own energy. Soit's this is really the more
energetic part of this tool. I'mgoing to give you some options
of how to do it. I'm going togive you three options on the
energy healing side of it, andremember, it's for yourself. So
option one, you can just kind ofwith all of these. You just want

(30:35):
to close your eyes and come intoa little bit of a relaxed space,
just like you would if you weregoing to do grounding or any
kind of like visualization foryourself, or breathing exercise,
for example, and justessentially visualize the cord
you want to work on, which meansimagine it so and again, I know
we talk about this here so much,but the the these subtle

(30:58):
additional psychic senses, Theseintuitive senses are very
closely linked to ourimagination. So it's okay when
you're working on energy likethis to just imagine it, get a
visual representation of it, forexample. And It's okay even if
you feel like you're making itup and just visualize this cord

(31:18):
dissolving from a cord into likea soft light and then dispersing
out like a fog, like if you hadfog that you opened a window and
it just dispersed out. So it'sjust an easy visualization, and
in the second part, you'llunderstand how you can identify
the cord that you're needing towork on. Because, like I said,

(31:39):
we don't need to work on all thecords. Some of them are quite
positive, in fact. And I'll talkto you about that when we talk
about the emotional or personalgrowth part. But essentially
visualizing the cord,visualizing it, it dissolving
from a cord into a soft, whitelight and then dispersing out
like a fog. Option two for thisspiritual, psychic energy part,

(32:02):
as part of your meditation, oreven, like a regular routine,
bedtime, you know, exercise,just take a few moments, whether
in the morning or the evening,or, you know, anytime in your
day that feels like you have afew moments to yourself of
quiet, and just hold theintention that any chords not
serving you can be released.
You're now ready, willing andable to release and allow any

(32:25):
emotions to come to yourawareness. This one's more of
like an affirmation or anintention. So just it's about
being ready, willing and able,because sometimes we might want
to release a chord, but we'renot ready, or we're not actually
willing, or we're not able atthat moment because we haven't
processed the emotion. So youcan just, you know, in your
quiet moment, anytime in yourday, before bedtime, is really

(32:47):
great for a lot of people. Yeah,just have the intention that any
chords not serving you can bereleased and just allowing any
emotions to come to yourawareness. And option three, for
this psychic energy part, isinviting in Archangel Michael,
if you're someone that'scomfortable working with angels,
and you know, if you've beenhere and heard me talk about

(33:09):
angels, you already know myfeeling on this. But if you
haven't, angels do not belong toany
like only to any religion. Soyou can work with angels, even
if it's has nothing to do withyour religious practice, or if
you have no religious practice,angels are for everyone, and you
can just think of them aspositive, loving light beings,
if you like that word better.
But Archangel Michael, you canimagine inviting him in to your

(33:32):
room, to your space. Imagine himholding that white light sword
that he has. He's often depictedholding a sword. Imagine that
sword being made of white lightenergy, and imagine him, either
like dissolving the cord, or Iactually often will visualize it
as him vacuuming up the cordwith that sword. So whatever you
like, and you can use any of theprevious Archangel meditations

(33:56):
to kind of get you in that zoneif you need. Or you can just get
quiet in your own space and justinvite him in and invite him to
help you release any cords thataren't serving you, and to
gently help you process anyemotions. So those are three
options for the psychic energyor spiritual part. But remember,
if you are not doing theemotional part of this cord

(34:17):
cutting, that cord is just goingto be right back pretty within
pretty short order. So in theday to day, and this is not,
well, let me, let me just tellyou what it is. I'll tell you
what it's not, in the day today, the emotional aspect
involves noticing how you feelwhen these thoughts come up.
Like, back to the example oflooking at someone's social

(34:38):
media, feel the feeling on top.
It may 1 just feel like jealousyor strong dislike, or maybe you
can identify some judgment, justnotice it. And then when you
have time, you can dig a littledeeper, but just notice, you
know, because that's when chordsare being created. It's when we
are having and. An emotion, athought, a feeling, towards

(35:02):
another person, thing,situation, whether it's present
or past, and notice, is thisabout something that happened in
the past? Is this aboutsomething that's presently
happening? Is this connected toan emotion I felt in the past?
But just starting to notice isthe first part of this
assignment? Because really,these feelings are bubbling up

(35:22):
all of the time, and we justmove through our day without
really noticing them, butslowing down a little bit just
to be available, to take amental note of how you're
feeling, and then when you havesome more time, either like on a
walk, when you're contemplatingor when you're journaling, is a
great time to do this. Just diga little deeper and contemplate

(35:44):
what is the fear at the veryroot of the root of the feeling.
And it might take severaldifferent times of holding space
and asking yourself morequestions to really get to the
root of the root of this somechords are very deeply rooted.
Are there other examples in mylife when I have felt like this
before? In this example, thebottom emotion, you know, the

(36:08):
one with the social media, mightbe to deal with our own
worthiness. It could be fear ofbeing alone. It could be still
being in pain over a loss thathasn't been fully grieved or
processed. So it's really justgetting down to the bottom of
the bottom emotions. Andsometimes there's lots of layers
there, and that is what can helpthe core dissolve. So make this

(36:32):
just a part of the way you movethrough the world, just noticing
your responses and the emotionsunderneath to people and
situations. The truth is,emotions are your doorway in and
they are the key to allow cordsto either completely dissolve
over time, or in some cases,really just shifting to a more
neutral or even positive cord,like, for example, maybe with a

(36:55):
family member who you'll alwaysbe related to, but you can
choose how to be in relationshipwith them differently or not at
all, but without anger, withoutresentment, or without expending
your time and energy. So eventhough there might be a
relational cord, like you'realways related to them, there's
no emotional charge underneaththe cord, and you can come to a

(37:18):
neutral place. Some peoplebenefit from having the help of
a therapist for additional toolshere, or support with processing
these emotions underneath. Buthowever you choose to work on
this, processing and integratingthe emotions that give these
cords, they're like stickingpower. Just know that this is
the most crucial ingredient inclearing or releasing cords.

(37:39):
There's no magic spell or magiccandle that's gonna do it for
you. No one else's cords arebinding you in any way other
than those that you have createdfor yourself. The longer you've
been feeding a cord with youremotions, your time, your
attention, or even your work tosuppress the emotion, the more

(38:00):
layers of emotions there can beto grow through, but you will be
well rewarded with lots of yourown aha moments along the way.
So even though this is workthat's done over time, right,
peeling back those layers, thereare these beautiful aha moments,
these beautiful moments ofclarity and recognition, and as
a wonderful byproduct of doingyour emotional work, as those

(38:23):
hurt feelings or fearful voicesand emotions start to become
clear and maybe even subside,you may even start to recognize
and honor the voice of yourinner intuition a little bit
more as part of this healing andgrowth process. So that is the
reason to do the emotional work,and then you repeat the cycle as

(38:46):
needed. Go back in and do theenergetic side of cord cutting
be available for the emotionalside to be processing in an
ongoing way. It's not a one anddone. It's an ongoing process to
do true, real cord cutting andagain, no one else is binding
you with their energy. We bindourselves by not working on this

(39:08):
personal development, thisemotional healing, the way that
we are still attached tosomething that happened again.
We can't change things that havehappened. We can change how we
relate to them. We can change.
We can work on our own feelings,to come to understanding, to
come to peace, whatever might beneeded in the individual
situation. So I hope that youhave learned a little something

(39:30):
about cord cutting. Maybe youhave been surprised about what
this actually is and how itactually works. Let me know if
this is new information to you,or if you already knew that this
is how it worked, and hopefullywe can kind of release some fear
about cords and cord cutting andremember that it really does
come back to our own intention,our own processing and the way

(39:52):
we are loving and caring forourselves and doing this
emotional side of the work. Ispart of that. So thanks for
being here with me today. Ialways love having you, and I
hope you will come to theworkshop on the 25th please
check the link in the shownotes, and yeah, thanks for
being here as always. And let meknow if you decide to do this

(40:17):
work, how it's working for you,and I always want to know if
there are any other topics thatyou have questions about or are
excited to learn about. So asalways, Big hugs. Lots of love.
Bye for now. From inside spirit,sneak easy. You.
