Cutting Cords from Loved Ones, Current Relationships & Past Relationships

Begin in a quiet, uninterrupted place. Ask for your Masters, Teachers, Loved Ones, Guides and whomever you are comfortable praying to: One or All, God, Spirit, Source and/or Holy Spirit. Ask that they assist you in this process, allowing only that which is in the highest good to be done.

Call upon your higher self, imagine and visualize it descending from above in a bubble of light. Allow this bubble to descend over you, covering your body, and bringing in healing energy.

Then call upon the higher self of the person you wish to disconnect cords from. Visualize them joining you and your higher self, see them sitting across from you. Remember, you are safe and protected in this space and they can do no harm physically, emotionally or psychically in this place.

Tell the other person what you wish the two of you to do; you are disconnecting the energetic cords that tie and bind you together so that the relationship can end, change, or renew. Leave only the heart connection cord which connects us to all life and the other person. I believe this heart connection is good to leave intact because it is coming from a pure and loving place.

Normally I ask for the other person's higher self agreement, and will get a sense of a "yes" or "no". If I feel a no answer, I use the Forgiveness prayer (see below) with that person over and over until I receive a "yes". For some situations this "yes" may take a few days to receive.

Forgiveness Prayer: If there is anyone or anything that has hurt me in the past, knowingly or unknowingly, I forgive and release it. If I have hurt anyone or anything in the past knowingly or unknowingly, I forgive and release it. For the highest good of others and myself. When you obtain the "yes" agreement from the other person's higher self, choose a tool to disconnet the cords. This can be scissors, a crystal, a sword or any instrument which helps you mentally make the cut to the cords. With the guidance of all the helpers you have asked to guide you, ask to disconnect the cords that bind you to this other person.

If you choose a sword for this example, run it throughout your energetic field in front of you, along both sides, jump over it and then run it behind you. Next, mentally ask the other person to do the same. Once both of you have done the cord- cutting, ask for all the cord stumps to be released and see them fall to the bottoms of your and the other person’s bubbles. Pick them up and together raise your arms to the sky and offer the cord stumps to God, asking that S/He do what S/He wishes with them, recycling, renewing and releasing the energy. 

The last step is to ask that you and the other person be filled with love, light, and healing energy. Ask that this healing energy heal all the places and spaces created from disconnecting these cords. Stay in this space as long as you wish, asking the other person to go on their way in peace, and send them on with love.

Cord-cutting can be done more than one time with the same person. I find it helpful to repeat this with significant relationships, especially when they start coming to mind again.
