Welcome to the fourth session of the Smart Body Green Mindfulness program.
This session is all about releasing those energetic cords to situations and people who don't support you.
Energy cords connect us to other people.
They act like an umbilical cord that carries and transfers energy from one person to another.
It doesn't matter how far someone is,
This transfer of life force energy is very powerful.
Cords can be created between any two people or even groups of people that have emotional relationships.
You may even still have old energy cords to ex-spouses,
Lovers or friends that no longer serve your highest good.
These cords are often between the bellies or the spiritual stomach,
But they can also be in other areas like the heart or the solar plexus.
If you are connected energetically with someone who doesn't support you or with a group that drains your energy,
You can choose to clear and cut those cords.
That is what this session is all about.
Getting those toxic people out of your life and out of your energy is especially important to anyone who is healing because you need to surround yourself with positive,
Loving people.
Let's do that now.
Take a moment to get really comfortable.
Take a nice deep breath.
And when you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Sit with the breath and let the breath relax you.
Imagine your muscles melting away.
Try and empty your mind of all thoughts.
If any thoughts come into your mind,
Imagine them inside of a cloud and gently push them away.
Notice if your mind is focused and clear or if it wanders off.
It's important to realize that it's okay to take five.
It's okay to stop and take a break.
You deserve it.
Take another nice deep breath and become mindful of your surroundings.
Listen for the sounds around you or the beating of your heart.
Notice what you sense or feel.
Release the tendency to overthink things.
Now think about the people in your life.
Think about those people that love and support you and those people who do not.
If you have people in your life that don't support you,
You can cut those energetic ties.
It's time to forgive and forget and time to move forward in love.
Focus on one person that you need to cut ties with.
This could even be a group of people.
Imagine you have a thick energetic cord connecting you to this person or to this group.
You may even want to imagine this person or group standing in front of you with the connecting cord.
Now see yourself literally releasing this connection in love,
Cutting the cords and the ties that connect you.
You could even take an imaginary sword or a pair of scissors and slice through this cord.
Do this at least three times with a swift chopping motion.
As you do this,
Imagine all of that energy going back to its original source.
Go ahead and try that now.
You have now released the painful energy in love and retained everything useful and loving.
Now take a moment and think about all of those people and events that might have damaged your emotional energy over time.
You can go back and repeat this meditation for anyone that is no longer serving your highest good.
You can choose to forgive and choose to disconnect your energy with anything unhelpful or unfulfied.
The goal of any healing process is to surround yourself with positive loving people as much as possible.
Think of this energy as a kind of rebirth and renewal.
Take a moment to express some forgiveness and love to whatever and whomever you feel may have damaged your view of yourself over the years.
It's okay to let go and okay to forgive.
Take one more moment to reflect on how this process made you feel.
And give yourself a mental hug.
Treat yourself to something nice today.
And gently stretch your body and open your eyes.
If you need to cut the cord with other people,
Be sure to do so gently and over time.
Give yourself some time to process this meditation and gauge how it made you feel.
Thanks for joining me today.
