Sometimes fear and insecurity
can create cords that can keep us close to that which we are trying to get away
from. “The fear may be characterized as
co-dependency, attachments, fear of abandonment, or feeling unforgiven, and
more (Virtue, September 2011).” You can recognize these cords by the inability
to get away from that thing that you are trying so hard to remove yourself
from.
Not all is lost; you can remove yourself from the unwanted
attachments in your life through two methods.
The first is cord cutting. Cutting
Cords doesn’t mean, “I don’t love you or care about you anymore (Virtue, D,
2011).” “Cord cutting doesn’t
necessarily lead to break-ups or abandoned relationships (Virtue, D, 2011).” It just means you are moving forward to heal
yourself and by doing so, you are releasing yourself from that which no longer
works for you. However, “unless you
resolve the underlying reason why you corded in the first place, the cords could
keep coming back (McKell, B, 2008).”
Now I am sure it is easy at this point to think, “If they
just keep coming back, what’s the point?”
Well, if you are seeking a change, this is the first step in realizing
these cords need to be cleared. Next is
understanding why the attachments happened.
Then you need to go about fixing what was wrong that created the
attachment. Finally, you will be able to
free yourself from the attachments of the past and move forward to a bright and
beautiful future.
We don’t grow up with the thought in our mind that we want
to be with someone who is going to beat on us or put us down every day. We dream about being swept away to a magical
world where life is going to be perfect.
What we seem to have forgotten from those magical storybooks and movies
we have seen and read so much about growing up is that getting to that
beautiful life was a struggle, filled with difficulties and obstacles that were
learned from along the way. None of it
is insurmountable, as I still believe nothing in our path is more than we can handle,
but unless we are like that quiet mouse carefully watching everything, or just
blessed with a golden road, we are bound to be tripped up now and again with
some struggles along the way to happiness.
Once we overcome these struggles, we are ready to free ourselves from
them and move forward to our happy ending.
To begin to release these
cords, you must start with meditation.
If you find your mind wandering during meditation, start your meditation
by focusing on one object that you like along with listening to a musical piece
without words that you enjoy. The object
that you choose could be a stone, a picture, a figurine, etc. While looking at it, focus your mind; take in
all the details of that object. Don’t
let your mind wander while focusing on this object. At first, you may only be able to focus for
about 5 minutes before your mind begins to intrude on all the “other things”
that you could be doing. Don’t become
discouraged, this is a good start. At
minimum, do this exercise at least 3 times a week, each time trying to add 1-5
minutes. Once you have yourself built up
to about 30 minutes of calm focused meditation, you can begin to work on
releasing the binding cords.
Find a quiet, private place,
meditate and focus on your abdomen. As
you do so, you will begin to notice many different tubes coming out of your
body leading off into what appears to be nothingness. Do not be alarmed, these are the ethereal cords. All the cords may appear to be a misty white
color, some could have different colors, and some will be smaller than others. As you look at them, you may recognize (have
in instinctual impression) where some of these cords go to, others you may
not. You can put your hand around these
cords and feel the energy running through them, from this energy you can tell
who the cord belongs too. You should do
the cord meditation 3 - 4 times to fully understand and see what is there
before you begin cutting anything. Once
you are comfortable with what you see and you know whom all these cords belong
to, you can do one of two things:
1)
You can imagine a good pair of scissors in your hand that you will use to “cut”
the unnecessary cords from you, or
2)
You can wrap your hand around the unwanted cords, gently pull them from your
body and “plant” them into the ground.
Either way you are
accomplishing the same goal, to rid your body of the unwanted attachments. Take your time when releasing these cords,
really look them over and understand why that attachment was there and why you
are ready or need to let it go. Thank
the universe for bringing you to this point of release. Then when you are ready, cut the cord and let
it go or pull it gently and plant it into the ground. I will warn you that this is a VERY emotional
process. It is okay to cry, it is even
okay if you only let go of a couple at a time.
The point of this exercise is to remove the bad cords, grow and learn
from it as you release them so you can heal and move forward toward better
things.
Once you have released the
unnecessary cords, review the cords that you left attached. Take a moment to feel the love from these
cords, allow that loving energy to comfort you during this time as these
“wounds” heal. Make sure you forgive
yourself for allowing the “bad cords” to have developed. You have now released yourself of the cords
that were attached to people whom have drained you for however long you have
known them. When you are ready, feel
free to rejoice in this since of freedom.
Now that you are free, you that can shine brighter with renewed energy
and optimism.
Many bright blessings to you
along your journey.
