Cord-Cutting & Energetic Clearing: A Sacred Ritual to Reclaim Your Energy + Realign with Wholeness
There is no wrong time to reclaim your energy. Whether you’re navigating a breakup, burnout, shadow work, ancestral healing, or simply feeling “off”—cord-cutting is a beautiful act of soul reclamation.
In this practice, we honor the sacred truth:
Your energy is your own.
Your field is your temple.
You are allowed to unplug, reset, and choose peace.
Why Cut Energetic Cords?
As sensitive and sovereign beings, we naturally form energetic ties, or cords, to people, places, habits, patterns, and timelines. Some cords are beautiful and nourishing. Others become draining, entangled, or outdated.
You may be carrying:
-
Emotional residue from past lovers or partners
-
Familial trauma patterns or obligations
-
Guilt or shame around past choices
-
Unspoken contracts from jobs, friendships, or former versions of self
-
Attachments to social media, people-pleasing, or overworking
-
Collective energies from the news, the internet, or the culture at large
Cord-cutting is a sacred way to clear what no longer serves, without shame, harm, or fear.
What Cord-Cutting Is Not
Cord-cutting does not mean you’re cursing, rejecting, or erasing people or experiences. It means you’re releasing energetic ties that are no longer aligned. You’re not hurting others but rather you’re healing yourself. You’re not disconnecting from love, you’re reconnecting to it.
Energetic Hygiene Is A Practice
Just like brushing your teeth or grounding your nervous system, energetic hygiene is something we tend over time. With consistency, it can lead to:
-
More emotional regulation
-
Clearer boundaries
-
Less energetic “static”
-
Fewer obsessive thoughts or draining connections
-
Increased intuition, clarity, and vitality
Think of your aura as your spiritual home. Cord-cutting is the ritual sweeping out of energetic clutter—clearing space for more joy, truth, and ease.
Cord-Cutting Ritual Flow
This ritual is yours to shape. Trust your intuition and adapt freely.
Before You Begin:
-
Set up your sacred space. Silence your phone, light your candles, grab your oils, crystals, or journal.
-
Center yourself. Try breathwork, grounding with your feet, or holding a calming stone.
-
Tune into the cord. Where do you feel it in your body? Is it a knot in your gut? A pressure in your chest?
3 Visualization Options for Uncording:
-
The Violet Flame: Imagine casting the cord into a flame of transmutation. Watch it transform.
-
The Gift of Light: Imagine sending the cord’s energy back—cleansed—to its source, for their highest good.
-
Cosmic Surgery: Ask your guides or angels to gently remove the cord on your behalf.
Somatic Release Options:
-
Breath of fire or long exhalations
-
Shake, stomp, dance or move the energy out
-
Cry, laugh, yawn, sigh—trust what your body needs
-
Speak it aloud: “I release _____. I detach from this energy across all levels of consciousness.”
Ritual Completion:
-
Place your hands on the body part where the cord lived.
-
Breathe love, light, and protection into this space.
-
Say aloud:
“I am whole. I am safe. I fill this space with love and peace. My energy is sovereign.”
-
Visualize your aura expanding with golden light, filling your space and pushing out any lingering energy.
-
Seal your field with a blessing. You can also use any aura essences, protection oils or crystals.

Final Reflection
Cord-cutting is not a one-time ritual. It’s a rhythm. A return. A remembering. You deserve to feel free, clear, and rooted in your own energy. You are allowed to release what no longer resonates with love, grace, and intention.
