WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.160 Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Dev Bowen and 2 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:15.119 I'm Samantha Fay and we're so happy you can join us here. Today we 3 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.879 are going to be discussing another one of our how to shows. This episode 4 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.920 is about cord cutting, and so we're going to walk you through what are 5 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.719 chords, where and who do you chord to? How do you know if 6 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.119 you have a chord, and some different ways to cut those chords. So, 7 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.719 before we get into all the how to's, let's first start off by 8 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:42.079 just discussing what is a chord. It's believed that chords are energetic attachments that 9 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:48.200 form between people and aspects of ourselves. We share energy between these chords. 10 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.240 You can think of an umbilical chord that shares food, nourishment and vital nutrients 11 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.560 between a mother and her baby. Spiritual chords can share both positive and negative 12 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.039 energy. The cord all allows for energy to exchange between two people. The 13 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.480 deeper the connection, the stronger the cord. We are corded with our spouse, 14 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.000 partner, children, parents, siblings, and friends, but we also 15 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:17.000 have chords with neighbors, coworkers, acquaintances, old loves like have you ever 16 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.000 randomly thought of someone only to have them call you later that day. You 17 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.840 may have intuitively felt them tug on the energetic cord between you two when they 18 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.920 thought about calling you. Or have you ever had a friend pop into your 19 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.920 mind and when you call them it turns out they were having a hard day 20 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.640 and needed to talk to you. You were feeling their energy through the cord. 21 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.040 So, as we just said, chords can be negative and they can 22 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.560 be positive. Do you want to talk about the positive aspects of chords? 23 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.239 Deeb Absolutely, Samantha. When we are connected, as you've just said, 24 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.079 to people, we love to places, we love to memories that we cherish, 25 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.079 those are wonderful positive chords and we don't necessarily want those to go away. 26 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.079 There's not a need to cut every chord from your energetic field. It's 27 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.120 really important to hold on to those links and connections to people that we do 28 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.879 love and cherish in our lives. So, for example, if you take 29 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.199 well the chord that binds you and me, for example, Samantha, we 30 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.840 have been connected for a very long time together and we've certainly had our ups 31 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.159 and downs and trials and tribulations. With all the wonderful technology and the changes 32 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.560 that have happened with this podcast and in our individual lives. And yet there's 33 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.960 a link, a bond, a connection, a chord between us that is 34 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.879 good and strong and solid, and we don't ever want to let that go 35 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.240 exactly. And you can take advantage of these positive chords by visualizing them and 36 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.479 imagining sending positive energy through those chords to the individual. So it's important to 37 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.400 keep in mind you don't want to cut all chords. If you're going to 38 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.879 do some of the visualizations we're going to talk about later on, you don't 39 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.919 ever want to pray I intend to cut every chord and my energetic body because 40 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.199 no, some of them can be really, really positive. But how do 41 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.280 you know if you have a negative chord with someone, Well, if someone 42 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.800 is negatively chording with you, they can use the chord subconsciously to drain your 43 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.520 energy. So I'm not saying like this person is aware that they're doing this. 44 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.800 It's most often, if not always, on a subconscious level. If 45 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.719 they think a negative thought about you or gossip, you can often feel this 46 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.400 through the chord. When the exchange of energy is imbalanced in a relationship, 47 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.800 your cord can become muddy, and your energy can get blocked. If someone 48 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.199 is obsessing over you and not letting you go, this can deplete your energy. 49 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.400 If you have a really controlling boss who's trying to micromanage every aspect of 50 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.080 your day, this can zap your energy. You might think of them and 51 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.759 wonder why you can't stop going over painful times, or why you can't stop 52 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:57.319 stressing or feeling anxious over a certain situation. You might feel their emotions through 53 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.400 the chord. So here are some signs that you might be negatively corded to 54 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.560 someone. You feel strong emotions toward the person you're corded with and healthy relationships, 55 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.960 these emotions are joyful and loving, but in toxic relationships, these emotions 56 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.400 are anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, shame. The person might pop 57 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.680 into your mind frequently. You might dream of this person or bump into them 58 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.800 in town. They will call you soon after you think of them. You 59 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.160 might get a headache or a stomach ache when you're around this person. You 60 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.120 feel tired after being around this individual. You have a hard time letting go 61 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.079 of your past with this individual and can't seem to move on. If there's 62 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.279 a relationship, for example, that isn't ending properly, or has residues of 63 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.360 regret, anger, and sadness. You could have a negative cord if you're 64 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.600 just not able to let go of someone or they just can't seem to let 65 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.759 go of you. Even though you know this relationship is ended, you may 66 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.720 be negatively corded with this person. So those are just some examples. Can 67 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.120 you think of any I might have missed? Well, I don't know that 68 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.399 I can think of any other, but I think it's important to realize that 69 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:09.480 a cord has two ends. And so even though you may think that you 70 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:14.920 are not corded or relation in a relationship still with a person that you thought 71 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.279 you'd let go of, for example, but they still may be attached to 72 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.759 you. So that chord has its sort of insipid fingers in you. And 73 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.600 you have to keep in mind that you have control over the end of the 74 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.639 chord that's attached to you. And we'll be talking about what to do with 75 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.519 that here in a few minutes, but that's something to keep in mind. 76 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.800 That's a good one. Also keep in mind that we can be corded to 77 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:45.480 aspects of ourselves that are negative in cases like addictive behaviors, energy blocks, 78 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.720 or repeating patterns of behavior that are holding you back. If you've walked away 79 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.240 from a bad habit or a way of thinking, you can still have a 80 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.480 chord to this side of you that might still be craving this bad habit or 81 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.680 continues to think negatively. So it's important to know that you can cut chords 82 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.759 to aspects of yourself. You can cut chords to memories that are painful as 83 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:15.040 well. So if you had a traumatic experience, you can visualize that experience 84 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.720 and cut the chord to that. Do you want to talk deb about cutting 85 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.959 chords to places? I do? You're right. You can cut chords to 86 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:28.240 parts of yourselves, to memories. But sometimes we also carry with us residual 87 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:33.439 angst or fear or anger about a particular place in our lives. A place 88 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:38.040 you live, for example, as a child where you have some bad memories, 89 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.279 or someplace that you went as an adult and something traumatic happened, and 90 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.920 so you're like, oh, I can't go back there. I don't want 91 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.560 to go back there, And yet there's still this attachment and this pool to 92 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:54.399 this place. So you can release those chords to places as well into times 93 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:59.519 in your lives Now. I was doing some research on the internet for this 94 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.959 show to make sure all of my views on cord cutting was in alignment with 95 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.399 what other people are writing about. I came across a couple of websites that 96 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.879 said you have to have a certified cord cutter to do it for you, 97 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.000 and I just want to say, I think that's bs total BS. Thank 98 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.399 you very much. Yeah, you can cut your own chords, and personally, 99 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.560 I think you should cut your own chords. I think it's something you 100 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.680 should do for your own self healing and empowerment. There are many many ways 101 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.000 that you can cut chords. It's a really simple process that just involves guided 102 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.480 imagery, so you can sit down in a quiet place where you won't be 103 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.399 disturbed. I think it's nice to kind of create a ritual around this, 104 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.759 so you can light a candle and get some crystals out. There's some wonderful 105 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.879 crystals that are really good for cord cutting. One of my favorites is black 106 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.959 cayanite because it grows in a natural wand shape with a point at the end, 107 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.680 so it kind of looks like almost like an arrowhead the way it grows, 108 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.360 and so it's an nice cutting shape and black kayannite is for protection and 109 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.879 one of its jobs is to help you cut chords. But there's a lot 110 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.199 of other great crystals you can use, so you can light a candle, 111 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.439 you can get your crystals around you. You definitely want to set some time 112 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.800 for this, at least thirty minutes, and you want to make sure you're 113 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.920 not going to be disturbed. So I think late at night before bedtime is 114 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.480 a really good period to do this. But if you're a morning person, 115 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.879 you can do it first thing, before everyone else is awake. And what 116 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.440 you want to do is you just simply want to start by journaling. Write 117 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:41.000 down any memories, feelings, emotions, issues connected to the relationship or the 118 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.600 place or the memory or the aspect of yourself that you're going to be doing 119 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.000 a chord cutting with, and just jot down all the positive aspects of this 120 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.879 situation. What were the lessons learned, how did you grow from this, 121 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.919 what did you take away from this, and what did you teach the individual 122 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.120 that you're going to attempt to cut chords with. So start by focusing on 123 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.919 the positive and then you can journal into some of the negative things. How 124 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.759 is this relationship impacting you now, has it made you lose trust in people? 125 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.879 Has it caused you to lose faith in yourself? Has it debilitated your 126 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.320 confidence? So jot all of that down. You also want to journal patterns. 127 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.799 Is this person just one and a line of patterns of people you have 128 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.759 met who have done this type of thing to you? For example, do 129 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:35.360 you always have controlling bosses? Or are you always the fixer in a relationship? 130 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.399 If you're going to cut a cord, it's really important to look at 131 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.559 your role in this relationship. So you do want to take some time to 132 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.320 think about in journal is there a pattern here that you may be repeating without 133 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.279 even knowing it. Once you have gotten all your emotions and feelings out, 134 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.240 then you just want to lay down or sit down in a comfortable chair and 135 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.879 do a mental scan of your energy as to see chords that are connecting you 136 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:07.639 to this person, blaze, memory or situation. It's all visualization and just 137 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.840 accept what pops into your head. Chords might appear as ropes, chains, 138 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.240 threads, sewer pipes, hoses, hooks, wires, plugs. You want 139 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.200 to make note of where the cords are hooked into your body. Sometimes they're 140 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.759 hooked into our chakras. So, for example, a lot of our love 141 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.159 relationships will be hooked into our heart chakra, and a lot of our work 142 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.080 relationships with bosses and co workers will create chords in our solar plexus chakra right 143 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.440 at your stomach, where our seat of will, confidence, joy and power 144 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.960 is situated. But you can have chords appear anywhere. If someone's a pain 145 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.120 in your neck, you might have a cord in your neck. If you're 146 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.679 constantly carrying someone throughout life and you're always doing everything in the relationship, your 147 00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:00.639 cord to them might be in your shoulder, So don't necessarily zoom. They're 148 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.000 going to just be in the chakras. If you have a boss who's constantly 149 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.120 dangling out the hope of a promotion or raise and then takes it away from 150 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.639 you, causing you to have money fears, the chord might be in your 151 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.799 root chakra. So it can be anywhere, and you just want to take 152 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.720 some time to trust yourself, trust your third eye, trust your intuition, 153 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.240 and just scan your body and accept what pops into your head right away. 154 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.399 Try not to second guess it. I think we do that so much as 155 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.559 intuitives and meditators don't you, deb I do, Samantha, and I think 156 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.960 you've brought up a really important point in that we should pay attention to where 157 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.960 in our body that chord is located. Our bodies really are our last ditch 158 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.440 effort at getting our attention to something that needs attending to. And even though 159 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.559 we envision this chord going into our bodies and they do sometimes, I mean 160 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.159 manifest physicals that go with some of these emotional pieces, they also go through 161 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.480 the etheric body, through that auric field that we have surrounding our bodies. 162 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.879 And so it's important to realize that when we get to the point where you're 163 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.240 going to talk in a minute about pulling chords out of you, that they 164 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.799 have several layers to go through as you release them. So trust the message 165 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.159 that you get from your body when the cord is, as you say, 166 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.799 in your shoulder or your neck, or your stomach, or your head wherever. 167 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.320 And you want to look at the length of the cord, the color, 168 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.159 shape, size, and texture because it will be different for each cord. 169 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.879 If you're dealing with a cord to a parent, for example, that's 170 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.720 been there for a long time, it might be a really big thick cord. 171 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.639 There might be some stuff around it too. I had a client once 172 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.200 you told me she did a I sent her one of my cord cutting meditations 173 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.360 and she emailed me back and said, oh, that was very helpful. 174 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.039 Thank you so much. She said, when I looked at the cord that 175 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.639 was lodged in my heart, the barbed wire around the cord is what she 176 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.000 saw, which I thought was interesting. So you want to pay attention to 177 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:11.759 the cord. If it's really thin, and maybe it's not very strong or 178 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.000 heavy. To me, that's kind of a good sign if it's a negative 179 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.159 chord, because it means it's not taking away a ton of your energy. 180 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.480 So just make note of what the chord actually looks like and feels like. 181 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.240 After you've done all of that and you've scanned and you've really looked into what 182 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.279 these chords are, then you want to follow this cord just mentally with your 183 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:39.440 mind, with your intuition. Follow the chord and see where it is attached 184 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.679 on the person that you're cutting this cord from, and see how the chord 185 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.399 looks on their end. See if it's thick or thin or all funked up 186 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.919 with negative energy, or if it's vibrant and pulsating with light, because that 187 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.799 can be a sign that they really are an energy vampire. Now, let's 188 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.320 say you're someone who just doesn't visualize very well, and you close your eyes 189 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.720 and you do a body scan and nothing happens. That's okay too. Not 190 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.440 everyone is a really good visualizer. So what you can do in that case 191 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.120 is you can just close your eyes and a good way to open your third 192 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.759 eye when you're doing this is to close your eyes and then look up with 193 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.840 your eyes closed, draw your eye your eyeballs up so that like pretend like 194 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.720 your eyes are closed and pretend like you're looking up at your forehead. That's 195 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.120 just a simple exercise to help awaken your intuition. And while you're doing that, 196 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.360 simply a attention to anyone or anything that pops into your mind. So 197 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.480 this will often give you an idea of where and who you're corded to. 198 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.759 Let's say you don't know who you're corded to, You've got a lot of 199 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.360 negative energy and weird stuff going on and some bad luck in your life. 200 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.200 You can just close your eyes and ask who am I negatively corded to? 201 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.679 And just accept the first person who pops into your mind. It might be 202 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.559 your neighbor who is constantly having parties, or borrowing your lawnmower and never returning 203 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.320 it, or just driving you generally insane. There might just be a small 204 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.720 cord there that needs to be cut. So just be open and with your 205 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.559 eyes closed and in that nice meditative, quiet, reflective state, just ask 206 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.960 who do I need to cut chords to. If you still can't visualize or 207 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.519 see this very very well, you can ask to see a symbol for the 208 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.720 cord. So you might see a rope, you might see an anchor, 209 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.120 you might see handcuffs. Something will pop into your head, some type of 210 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:33.200 memory or image or symbol. If you sit there stilly and long enough, 211 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.799 don't you think, deb Even if you can't visualize, if you ask and 212 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.840 you're really intending, you will see something. I really do. And you 213 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.080 know, I think that an important piece of where you are in this process 214 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.200 to talk about Samantha is that sometimes you may already know, Okay, I'm 215 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.679 going to sit here and I'm going to do what Samantha has suggested, because 216 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.720 I know I need to cut a chord to X person. So you may 217 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.360 be very focused on someone that you feel like you need to cut a chord 218 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:10.519 to and that's okay, but be prepared for serendipity that there may be other 219 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.320 people that pop in in this visualization that Samantha's recommending to you. That's true. 220 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.879 Now, what we have walked through is how to identify the chord, 221 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.200 how to look at who the cord is attached to, and how to make 222 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.159 note of any patterns or energy connected to that chord. Once you have done 223 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.120 all of that, now here's something I do, and feel free to interject 224 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.399 if you do things differently. Once I have done all of that, I 225 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.840 take the chord and I send positive light down that chord because I think of 226 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.600 chords like plumbing, and it's kind of me sending Durno down the cord, 227 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.440 do you know what I mean? Like, I don't want to cut the 228 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.200 cord and just have all that gunk spill out into the cosmos. So I 229 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.720 try to take the chord and just intend that all sorts of love and light 230 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.840 flows from me down that chord to that person. That's a lovely thing to 231 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.840 do, Samantha, And I have to tell you that I try to remember 232 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.440 to do that, but I confess there have been times when I have not 233 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.880 done that probably was not a good idea. So everybody remember to do what 234 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.000 Samantha has suggests the image of that being a plumbing pipe is too big for 235 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.519 me. But I think it's a good one. No, But that's really 236 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.599 honest, because I think sometimes you can be so angry and hurt you don't 237 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.920 want to send love and life that ers, you know, But I think 238 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.519 that that karmically for our own good, if for nothing else, it's a 239 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.200 really good thing to do. Yeah, and it just kind of primes the 240 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.119 pump and clears the way and all of that good stuff. So then what 241 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.960 I do is I call on my guides and angels to surround me and help 242 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.359 me with this process. I call on archangel Michael because I really think that 243 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.119 him and his team, I think that's one of his jobs is to help 244 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.119 us clear our energy. And so once I've got my team around me, 245 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.200 I hold out my dominant hand so for me, that's my left hand, 246 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.240 and I ask for a cord cutting tool to appear there. Now what's interesting 247 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:03.160 for me is so I do cord cutting meditations a lot, and different tools 248 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.079 will appear for me. Usually I'll see a pair of like golden scissors, 249 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.200 but sometimes I'll see a sword. One time I saw like a metal what's 250 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.640 that big metal square thing that you used to chop vegetables? Do you know 251 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.759 what I'm talking about? Or maybe it was just like this sheet of square 252 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.799 metal and I used that to cut the cord. So you might be surprised 253 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.880 when you just hold out your dominant hand that a different tool you weren't expecting 254 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:33.519 might suddenly appear. And then you want to visualize yourself cutting the cord between 255 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.920 you and this individual. Check to see if anything spills out of the cord. 256 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:44.480 You might see like pus come out. You might see some funky negative 257 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.000 energy spill out. You just want to pay attention to that. Visualize any 258 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:56.039 residue in your energy from the cut cord dissolving and disappearing entirely. And while 259 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.880 you are cutting this cord, you want to say something affirmative and defini, 260 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.240 like I cut this cord of negativity between us. In all directions of time, 261 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:10.160 the lessons remain, but the negativity is now severed for always. If 262 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.759 you feel there's a karmic tie here between you two, you can also say 263 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:18.000 something like I cut any cords of karmic energy between us in all directions of 264 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.039 time. We are both now free. Wait, Samantha, do something for 265 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.039 me, because that went really fast by me. Go back and say again 266 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.799 both of those things, because they were beautifully said, and I think folks 267 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.720 sometimes will need to hear that more than once. Thanks, Okay, okay. 268 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.839 So I usually say I cut this cord of negativity between us and all 269 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.480 directions of time. The lessons remain, but the negativity is now severed for 270 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:48.720 always. You can also add I cut any karmic ties between us. We 271 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.759 are now free. That's great, and I think that'll help everybody to have 272 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.640 heard it twice. So then what you want to do is you want to 273 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.200 dissolve any residue between the two of you, because think about when you're cutting 274 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.799 anything, right, Like, let's say you've got like I was just doing 275 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.839 some gardening and I had staked up a new tree with some rope, and 276 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.759 then when I cut the rope, there was all dirt on each end of 277 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.359 the rope, and I needed to clean that off. So think about when 278 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.519 you cut anything, there's going to be debris and residue, and you want 279 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:21.640 to clear that off within yourself wherever the cord has now been detached. I 280 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.480 always picture kind of like a hole there. Sometimes I'll ask archangel Raphael, 281 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.200 the Archangel of healing, to come and help me fill it with green light 282 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.759 because green represents healing. Sometimes I'll just do it myself and I'll pull pink 283 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.559 light out of my heart chakra and I'll put it into that hole. But 284 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.799 I also focus my attention on the person to whom I've just cut the cord 285 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.599 with, and I fill his or her hole with light too, because I 286 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.920 don't want to leave them with this light gaping energy. That makes sense, 287 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.000 It does make sense. But wait, I need to clarify something here as 288 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.759 you're talking about this image, because I was with you on the cord cutting 289 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.039 out of you, but at the same time, you were also cutting the 290 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.839 chord at the other end of the chord to the other person to whom it's 291 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.359 attached. Yes, So, like if you picture a chord, let's just 292 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.160 say you and I have a chord between our belly buttons, and let's say 293 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.640 I cut that cord. It's going to fall out of you, and it's 294 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.480 going to fall out of me because there's nothing linking it anymore. So then 295 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:25.759 I visualize light, and I fill that spot where the chord fell out in 296 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.680 me, and then I would fill that spot where the chord fell out in 297 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.640 you. Okay, I understand. I understand now because somehow I had this 298 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.960 image that you were releasing you from this chord. But do you also have 299 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.599 the right to release the chord from the other person? Well, I think 300 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.160 if it's a chord between the two of us that we both created, then 301 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.599 I think I have the right to release it because it's it's our cord. 302 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.039 Now they can record and they can keep that cord, and they can resist 303 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.519 the cutting. And I think you and I have both seen that happen, 304 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.240 but we can at least intend that they are free and filled with life. 305 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:10.519 I know, so, I so I always like to include them in the 306 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.799 process. I mean I do. If I'm doing a serious cord cutting, 307 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.079 I do a very involved visualization where I first picture the two of us in 308 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:23.920 a neutral area like a stage or an outdoor garden, and I will sit 309 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.960 down and just have a therapeutic conversation with that person and tell them everything they 310 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.920 did that hurt me or apologized for anything I may have done to hurt them. 311 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.000 Then I'll do the cord cutting, and I think that's really helpful too. 312 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.160 But you don't but you don't mean having a real conversation. Okay, 313 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.240 let's make that real clear, because there may be people that it may be 314 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.160 dangerous to have that conversation with. Oh yeah, no, that's why I 315 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.359 said. I imagine or visualize like a theater or an outdoor garden, and 316 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.759 I just picture the two of us sitting there, and I will I will 317 00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.960 just say everything that I need to say to that verse because I think that's 318 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.920 that's a real important point. And whatever the person responds is not your responsibility. 319 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.359 Your responsibility is to do what you're doing for you. Yes, So 320 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.880 once you have cut that cord and you have filled the holes with light, 321 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:17.119 then what I like to do is surround myself in a thick layer of gold 322 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.599 light to seal in my aura. I visualize the other person walking away until 323 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.440 I can no longer see them. I just see them walking away from me 324 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.079 and from my energy, and I feel my energy filling with bright, loving 325 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.680 white light. Sometimes what I do is I'll picture a magnetized golden cube hovering 326 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:42.359 about a foot over my head, and I will ask that that magical magnetized 327 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.680 golden cube that it pull from the universe in all directions of time, any 328 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.119 energy that that person has taken from me, good or bad, and I 329 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:57.319 ask that it be pulled back into that golden cube where it is filtered and 330 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:02.720 cleared and made just piss positive energy. That's mine. It's my energy that 331 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.759 was taken, and then I see it pouring down into my energy field and 332 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:11.279 that helps to uplift and restore my energy tremendously when I do that visualization. 333 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.160 So after you have done all of that, you want to thank your team, 334 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.599 thank your guides and angels and ur kangel Michael for helping you. You 335 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:26.519 can hold your black cayanite during this process and you can actually run it down 336 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:32.720 around your aura, just to re emphasize that any residue is gone from your 337 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.039 aura. So you just want to run it down your body about six inches 338 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.119 away from your body, down the front, the sides, in the back. 339 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:44.480 You can save yourself after if you want. You can journal anything that 340 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:49.359 came to mind during the meditation. Sometimes you'll get memories that are significant or 341 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.279 messages, or you'll see symbols that will be helpful when you're done with the 342 00:24:55.359 --> 00:25:00.119 cord cutting meditation. You want to try to distance yourself from this person as 343 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.160 much as possible, So stay off social media, don't return calls or text. 344 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.799 When you cut a chord with someone, they intuitively subconsciously feel it, 345 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960 and so they tend to reach out to you within a week of that energetic 346 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.839 connection being gone, and you just want to try to distance yourself as much 347 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.640 as possible. Now this can be hard because, for example, if you're 348 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.599 married to someone that you obviously see every single day, you can do a 349 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:33.240 chord cutting to an aspect of your marriage that you don't want to have to 350 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.759 engage with anymore, but you're still going to see that person all the time. 351 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.599 But what you want to do for at least twelve twenty four hours after 352 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.079 the chord cutting is just emotionally just pull back a little bit so that you 353 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:51.839 can just make sure that that chord isn't reconnected. I want to go back 354 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:56.119 to something though a minute, and that is the images that you gave of 355 00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.880 the tools for cord cutting are great. They're one wonderful. I have a 356 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.839 different one that I use and I've never done the exercise that you're suggesting where 357 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:10.759 I allow my subconscious or my guides to hand me a tool. I've always 358 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.640 chosen the tools, and I have pleasers that I use in a cord cutting 359 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:21.680 visualization. And the reason I use tweezers is because in my mind, the 360 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.519 image I have is that that frayed end of that rope that you're describing has 361 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:33.079 burrowed down inside of me. So for example, imagining that I have a 362 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.039 cord to my heart chakra, and so my vision is that the ends of 363 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:42.039 that rope have gone through my or field, through my energetic body, and 364 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.960 down through my physical body and down into my heart. And I want that 365 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.960 cord out. I want to pull it out completely so that that healing part 366 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.519 of the ritual that you've described can take place. So it's not just cut 367 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.000 off at the skin kind of thing I envisioned that I have with a pair 368 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.839 of tweezers, pulled it out so that there's plenty of room there for the 369 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.240 healing light to come in and heal deep within me. But that's a good 370 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.160 reminder because one size does not fit all, so you have to try different 371 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.880 types of cord cutting to see which resonates for you. Now, after you 372 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.799 have cut this cord, if you're cutting a cord to a really negative person, 373 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.640 like a narcissist. They usually do feel this like. Doctor Northrop has 374 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:27.720 this awesome expression for these types of narcissists in her book Dodging Energy Vampires. 375 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:34.839 She says that narcissists have malignant intuition where they just know that this stuff happens. 376 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:40.000 They might try to placate you once a chord has been cut. They 377 00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:44.039 might try to be super nice to you, making you second guess yourself and 378 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.359 think, maybe I shouldn't have cut that cord. Or they may go the 379 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:53.160 opposite direction and try to anger you. Any reaction to this person that's connected 380 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:59.359 to negativity will record you to this person. So if they're being super nice 381 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.920 to you after you've cut the cord and you suddenly start to feel shame or 382 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.359 guilt like, oh why did I do that? I think I jumped to 383 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:10.039 conclusions, that will help record you to this person. Or if they start 384 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.680 to be really mean and honor to you and you get angry and fearful as 385 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:17.920 a result, that will reattach a chord. This is important to remember. 386 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.160 You can't do a chord cutting visualization once and think that chord is severed forever. 387 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:27.160 You have to repeat this process. Until the toxic person memory or emotion 388 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:32.839 are completely gone. And so you might have to do this a lot of 389 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.920 times, and that's okay. There's no three times and it'll never happen again. 390 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.519 You know, there's no certain way to do it, but it is 391 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.240 important to know that one time isn't going to fix it forever. Sometimes we 392 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.559 feel like we should, or we know we need to do a releasing of 393 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.240 an energy in our life that is not for our highest good, and yet 394 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.519 sometimes it has become old and comfortable and familiar, even though we know that 395 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:07.160 it's not necessarily healthy. And so we say we're going to do this cord 396 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.039 cutting, but we don't really mean it, you know what I mean, 397 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:14.720 and that we may do it, but really do we really want to let 398 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.880 it go? And so that's when we really have to do some really deep 399 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.920 self examination and perhaps, as you suggest, do this chord cutting more than 400 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.839 once until we're sure we mean it. That's okay, that's not a bad 401 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.440 thing. You just have to know that that. So you might do the 402 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:36.279 cord cutting meditation. It might work great for two weeks and then something happens 403 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.839 and you're recorded and you think, well, that didn't work I'm not going 404 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:45.000 to try that again. No, it probably did work and the response from 405 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.720 the other person caused you to record, and so then you just have to 406 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.799 do it again, and you can try different ways to do it if it 407 00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.960 doesn't work the first time. Let's say you have a really hard time visualizing. 408 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.119 What you can do is a different technique where you write your name on 409 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.400 one piece of paper, you write the person's name to whom you're corded with 410 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.880 on another piece of paper, and then you roll up each piece of paper, 411 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.880 tie it with a string, tie both pieces of the roll that papers 412 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.880 together, and cut the string while going through the steps we outlined earlier. 413 00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:22.440 That's a nice way to physically do this exercise if you have a hard time 414 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.720 seeing it in your mental imagination, have you done that? I have not. 415 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.279 It's always worked for me to do the pulling it out of my body 416 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.559 with the tweezers thing. But I think that's a really good point. And 417 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.559 another thing that you know for folks who are clear audience is to help with 418 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:44.920 this is to hear the chord snap, to hear it release. So imagine 419 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.720 what that sounds like if, for example, you envision the chord as a 420 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.319 chain. Then when you pull it out of the body or cut it, 421 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.480 it clanks and makes a noise. So give give yourself the opportunity to use 422 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:03.960 all of your senses and all of your players in working with a releasing exercise 423 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.440 like this. That's really good advice. Yeah, see it, hear it, 424 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.039 feel it. Now. Keep in mind you can also cut chords to 425 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.359 a deceased person. If you had issues with a relative or a friend who 426 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.119 has passed away and this relationship is still wreaking havoc in your life, either 427 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.799 through guilt, anger, or regret, you can do a cord cutting meditation. 428 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.039 It's the same exact steps, and because time is not linear on the 429 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.559 other side, it will have a positive effect for you. So just keep 430 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.240 in mind that you can cut chords to so many things. It doesn't have 431 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:38.799 to be just between you and a partner. It can be between you and 432 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.319 a business. Let's say you worked somewhere and you hated that company, and 433 00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:48.359 you have really bad mojo feelings about that company, you can cut chords to 434 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:53.559 that building and everything that it represents. Or, like dev was saying earlier, 435 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.960 if you have negative connotations to a place, you can cut chords to 436 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.200 that place. If you have negative connotations to a school, Let's say you 437 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.279 were bullied in middle school, you can cut chords to that school. So 438 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.519 be creative with this and really think about where a lot of your energy is 439 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:17.000 going when you get into anxious or negative states. I think so often dev 440 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.279 we hide from our negative emotions that were not really aware of them. And 441 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.160 do you know what helped me to be aware of my negative emotions was after 442 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.519 I had my hysterectomy, I was plunged into menopause like overnight, right, 443 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.079 So I would get these hut flashes, and I started to notice that my 444 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:38.240 hut flashes were caused or triggered by stressful thoughts. And it was so eye 445 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.839 opening to me because I would just be like watching TV with my kids, 446 00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.519 relaxed, eating pop worn and suddenly I'd get a hut flash and I would 447 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.880 think, Okay, I'm super relaxed, in chill, it's the end of 448 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.839 the day, I've done, my work, house is clean, kids are 449 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.599 getting ready for Like what am I stressed about? And then I would think, 450 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.640 oh, right, that commercial reminded me that I haven't signed up my 451 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.880 daughter for this SAT tutoring thing that she needs and that stressed me out, 452 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.279 but I wasn't even consciously aware of it. It was so quick and unconscious. 453 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.119 But my hut flash actually helped me start to track a lot of those 454 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.319 types of thoughts. Isn't that weird? Yes, it is weird, But 455 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.880 I think it's a very important thing to know. To have that self awareness 456 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:28.640 is a really important gift when we have these ties to so much in our 457 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.920 lives, and we all do I mean, as you're talking, I'm thinking, 458 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.759 well, golly, you know, do I really want to release every 459 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.759 single memory that I have? Is every single memory exactly? Is every single 460 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:45.960 memory accord well? It no? And if it is just because I remember 461 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.720 it, does it make it bad? Was there not a wonderful perhaps lesson 462 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.359 to have learned in a given situation. So cord cutting is not just to 463 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:58.759 say, oh, I'm just going to be like Bubbly an effervescent forever and 464 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:02.240 take away all the bad stuff. I'm not going to live in that pink, 465 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.440 bubbly cotton candy world. That's not what cord cutting's for. Cord cutting 466 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.960 is really for that which is really detrimental to you emotionally and sometimes physically, 467 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.519 and certainly spiritually and also in many ways, even to the person who is 468 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:22.599 the perpetrator of that negative energy. I personally have never cut a chord to 469 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:28.639 a memory or a place. I've only cut chords to people because I feel 470 00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.679 like everything that's happened to me has made me who I am today, and 471 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:36.480 I'm okay with that. I'm good with that. Where I like to focus 472 00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:42.000 my cord cutting are people currently who are draining my energy, or if anyone 473 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.440 has had Like there are certain bosses who have been really difficult and I've done 474 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.079 some cord cutting with them. There are certain relationships where I just felt like 475 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.519 my confidence was chipped a little bit, and I would do some cord cutting 476 00:34:54.599 --> 00:35:00.440 to them. I've definitely done cord cutting with my parents, but I have 477 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.159 kept the good chords with my parents because there's a lot of good to that 478 00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.800 relationship as well. So when I say I cut chords to people, it 479 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.719 doesn't mean like I'm done with them, you know, like we're done. 480 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:15.920 No, it's just cutting the negative chords that are draining my energy or making 481 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.920 me feel not as much self love as I want to feel. I cut 482 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.639 that aspect, but I keep the positive cord. Relationships are complicated. I 483 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.199 love my mother. My mother loves me, but we have some contentious issues. 484 00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.920 I try to cut those chords when they pop up throughout our relationship. 485 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.599 Does that make sense, Yes, it does, And I think that's important 486 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:44.559 to remember. Is that exactly as you say, relationships are complex and you 487 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.840 may not want to throw the baby out with the bath water because there are 488 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.199 positive aspects and there are boundaries that you can set and cord cutting, or 489 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.159 at least sometimes you don't. Even I don't think always need to cut the 490 00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:00.119 cord so much as you do to be able to set the boundaries. I 491 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:04.719 remember a relationship that I had with a coworker some years ago that was very 492 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.840 much an energy vampire, and I couldn't completely cut a cord with this woman. 493 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:15.400 She and I worked together, we had a very intertwined professional relationship, 494 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.639 and yet she was horrific in some ways, and one of them was that 495 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.000 she was passive, aggressively late. And I got up and walked out of 496 00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:27.679 a restaurant one time with her, and I said, because she was so 497 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.840 late, I had been waiting on her and there was no time for us 498 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:32.760 to eat before we were to go to the next event. Well, like 499 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.880 you said, boy, after that, as my grandma would say, butter 500 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.599 would not melt in her mouth. I mean, she was just honey sweet 501 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.320 for a while, and then she wanted to try this behavior again. But 502 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.119 what I had learned was it rather than cutting a cord I couldn't really cut 503 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:51.559 with a situation, was that I could set very clear boundaries and say nope, 504 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.280 not doing that. Nope, that didn't work, and I just am 505 00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.280 not willing to spend my time risking that again. And if it worked, 506 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.679 it did work. But don't forget cutting core to aspects of yourself. I 507 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.280 think that has been the most helpful to me. I remember when I was 508 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.679 talking to one of my closest friends about the fact that all my bosses throughout 509 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:14.079 my life had been female and really controlling and kind of mean, we're just 510 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.880 not really good bosses. And she was telling me, you know, well, 511 00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.199 that looks to be a pattern in your life, and you should think 512 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.480 about what that pattern represents to you. And so I did a cord cutting 513 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:30.599 meditation to cut the chord to the aspect of myself that was attracting negative, 514 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.880 controlling female bosses. Two months later, my boss took early retirement, and 515 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.800 that dear friend that I was talking to was promoted and was my boss. 516 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.320 And she was the best boss I ever had. And I've never had a 517 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.519 difficult boss since. Wow. And that was probably also not only because you 518 00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:51.280 cut the cord, but you had learned a karmic lesson exactly. I had 519 00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:55.440 a group of ladies years of maybe seven years ago. They hired me to 520 00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:00.440 come to one of their houses and teach a weekend workshop on interfesting, and 521 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.239 so I did, and we all created goldbooks and it was really fun. 522 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.159 And as we were talking, the main thing I've found they all worked together 523 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.320 and they all had this really awful boss who was making their lives hell. 524 00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.400 And so I had them do a cord cutting meditation to the negative aspects of 525 00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:22.000 her that was making their lives so difficult, and the same thing happened. 526 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.840 Halfway through the school year. She took early retirement and they got a great 527 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:29.440 new boss. I mean, it's kind of magical when you look at love 528 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.280 those stories. I really do love those stories. And I think that one 529 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:37.320 of the things that's important here is that when we put ourselves into the stream 530 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:44.920 of karmic gifts and say I am willing to work my way through my karmic 531 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.760 responsibility here and we agree to do that, then the universe helps us with 532 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.480 the cord cutting and then the shift in our karmic fields that send all bad 533 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:58.440 bosses away. And I think what cord cutting can do for you is remind 534 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.119 you that you are in control of your life in some ways. I mean, 535 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.280 we don't have control over everything in our life, and I think there's 536 00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:10.000 a serenity that comes from recognizing that. But there are many many aspects of 537 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:15.519 our life that we are in control of, and working with cord cutting techniques 538 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.039 remind you of that, and so it brings a sense of responsibility and empowerment 539 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.840 to your path. And it reminds you that even though you might be in 540 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:29.039 a negative situation right now or a difficult relationship, you don't have to stay 541 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:34.039 in that situation. You do have the power to either leave it or change 542 00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.920 it. And that's really really important for our soul growth. I think we 543 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:44.159 need to be always on our toes, always vigilant to those lessons that can 544 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.440 come into our lives, and sometimes not in the midst of why they're happening. 545 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:50.639 I think it's easy to see them, but it is to find that 546 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.639 time for reflection to look back and say, wow, these were some important 547 00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:58.519 lessons and even though they may not have felt like it at the time, 548 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:02.760 I learned some karma truths and I was able to say, Okay, what's 549 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.840 my karma and what's someone else's karma? What am I supposed to be doing 550 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.079 to take care of me? And when we do that, I think life 551 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.360 shifts for us. I do too. So we hope this has been helpful 552 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:19.000 to you and giving you some things to think about in your own meditative practice. 553 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.599 If you have a different way of cord cutting, we'd love to hear 554 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.480 about it. When I was going through the internet research for cord cutting, 555 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:30.360 I was so surprised to read different people say you have to do it this 556 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.960 way or this is the only way. All those definitives don't listen to that. 557 00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:39.239 There's no right or one way to do this type of meditation. You 558 00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.639 have to find the one that works for you. So you can try mine. 559 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.559 You can try debs, you can go on YouTube and just google chord 560 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:52.519 cutting meditations and try lots of other people's. Ultimately, what I think is 561 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.880 best is you create your own meditation ritual of cord cutting that resonates for you. 562 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.960 That's where you're going to really pull your power and your energy source into 563 00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:07.079 facilitating the best cord cutting. So just remember to always learn from others, 564 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:13.519 but use your discernment to see what resonates as truth for you. Don't take 565 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:16.679 everything deb and I say as one hundred percent absolute truth. Don't take anything 566 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:21.840 anyone says as one hundred percent absolute truth until you've done your own research and 567 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.559 used your own intuition to see if that sits right in your own heart. 568 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:29.840 But we do hope that what we have offered has been helpful and informative. 569 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.639 Sure do, and we would remind you to ask your guides and your angels 570 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.400 to help you with this, to help you with that gift of discernment for 571 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.840 what is working right for you at this moment in time. You're not in 572 00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:44.800 this alone. You have support, ask for it. So please don't forget 573 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:49.039 to join us on Facebook Psychic Teachers.
