Welcome to this guided meditation.
Cord cutting is a visualization method that is used to release negative energy,
Thoughts,
Or attachments to people or situations.
The idea is that we all have energetic cords or connections to other people and experiences,
And sometimes these connections can be negative and drain our energy.
Cord cutting meditation involves visualization techniques to imagine cutting these cords and releasing the negative energy.
This can free us to move forward with a lightness and a sense of openness,
Helping us re-establish healthy,
Energetic boundaries.
So go ahead and settle yourself into an upright seated position.
Roll back your shoulders slightly,
Finding length in the spine.
Rest your hands wherever they fall most naturally.
And once you have settled in,
Gently close your eyes.
Draw your attention inward as you will now begin to deepen your breath.
Take a long,
Deep inhale through your nose and a slow,
Gentle exhale through your mouth.
When you breathe in,
Feel your abdomen rise and as you let go of the breath,
Feel your belly contract.
Allow this soothing rhythm of your breath to relax you into the present moment.
Feel your breath flowing through your body with great ease.
Allow yourself to be with the breaths from the beginning of an inhale all the way through to the end of an exhale.
Now allow the breath to return to its natural soothing rhythm.
Allow the breath to be calm and tranquil.
As you hold yourself here with compassion and loving attention,
I invite you to imagine a soft white light right above your head.
This light is your protective light.
Know that this light is here to help you and support you.
Begin to feel this light fill your body,
Flowing down from the top of your head.
Sense this light flows down your body,
Filling your neck,
Shoulders,
And arms.
It travels down through your chest,
Belly,
Pelvis,
And hips.
Gently expanding through your legs and feet until your entire body is bathed in this soft white light.
Take a moment to be deeply present in your body as you allow this light to protect,
Support,
And guide you through your cord-cutting journey.
Feel any heaviness,
Stress,
Or tension in your body and permit the light to carry it away from you now.
Feel yourself radiate this loving,
Warm,
And soft light.
Bring to mind something that has been holding you back.
Remember that you are protected by the white light and you are safe to recall any painful experiences.
This is the first step to your healing,
So bring to mind something you would like to let go of.
It can be something that happened in your past that keeps you from moving forward.
This can be a person or an experience that caused you pain.
If it's a person,
It's important to remember that by cutting cords with this person does not mean you are cutting this person out of your life.
You are simply cutting the energetic cord that transmits energy that does not align with you.
As we move through our lives,
We must let go of what no longer serves us.
We carry heavy burdens that weigh us down both spiritually and mentally.
Holding on to the past prevents us from moving forward.
When we let go,
We create space that has potential and possibility for positive growth.
Now,
Notice how recalling this person or memory makes you feel.
See if you can locate this feeling in your body.
Maybe you feel discomfort or fear,
Worry or stress.
Just take a moment to acknowledge its presence without any judgment.
If you feel overwhelmed by a particular emotion,
Simply greet it in a friendly manner.
Allow the white light to support you while you invite this emotion and welcome it warmly.
Listen to what it has to say.
When we experience difficult emotions or sensations,
We normally want to move away from them and resist their presence.
Without trying to soften them directly,
See if you can soften your reaction to them.
When you listen to your emotions,
You can allow yourself to discover why these emotions are calling for you and what message they carry.
By acknowledging their presence,
We can help them move along.
So take a moment to observe your emotional experience right now with an open mind and compassion.
Now,
Bring back to mind the image of the particular person or experience that has caused you pain.
See it appear right in front of you.
Notice a cord connecting the two of you.
Allow the white light to illuminate the cord and where it is located.
What does the cord look like?
Notice where you feel the cord in your body.
Maybe you feel it in your belly,
Heart,
Or throat.
Wherever it may be,
Gently rest your attention to this part of your body.
Notice what the cord looks like.
Is the cord thick or thin?
Long or short?
What color is the cord?
Observe the texture,
Shape,
And size.
Very gently,
Send your breath to the space in your body where the cord is loaded.
Allow your breath to soften the area where the cord is attached.
It is time to detach yourself from this cord,
To be released from pain.
Take a deep breath in and on the exhale,
Prepare your body to release the cord attached to you.
Ask the cord to release you now.
Slowly you see the cord begin to break from where it was attached to your body.
See the cord fall to the ground and begin to dissolve into dust.
Observe this process as the cord becomes smaller and smaller in size.
Watch this cord dissolve until it disappears completely,
Ceasing to exist within your reality.
Take a moment to notice how you feel.
Maybe you feel lighter,
Empowered,
And free.
The connection you had to this cord has disappeared completely.
Send appreciation towards yourself for working through difficult times and attending to struggles with loving kindness and compassion.
Send appreciation to anything and anyone that were on the opposite end of that cord,
Showing them that they are free.
If you feel like you still have any remaining cords attached,
You can repeat the same process until you feel like you have released the energies that do not serve you.
Now,
Listen to the following affirmations or repeat them to yourself.
I now release any energetic cords that do not serve my highest good.
All cords are destroyed,
Never to return again.
My energy flows back to me,
Filling me with vitality.
I am now creating a peaceful,
Energetic boundary of love and light.
As this practice draws to an end,
Begin to return to your surroundings.
Wiggle your toes and your fingers.
Sway your head from side to side.
Give your shoulders a gentle shrug.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
