Root yourself, breathe deep, and reclaim every watt of your own power in this cord‑cutting practice. We’ll ground into the earth, locate the invisible threads tugging on your energy, and release them one by one—no judgment, just gentle untangling. As each cord falls away, a warm inner light expands, filling the space with calm, strength, and sovereignty. Perfect any time you feel stretched thin and want a quick energetic reset that leaves you free, centered, and fully you.

Welcome,

Beautiful soul.

Settle into a comfortable seated or lying position.

Allow your body to completely relax,

Supported by the surface beneath you.

Gently close your eyes and begin connecting with your breath.

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Letting your belly expand,

Breathing in calm.

As you exhale through your mouth,

Release any tension.

Again take a deep breath in through your nose,

This time breathing in gratitude.

Exhale through your mouth,

Releasing any fear.

And take one more deep breath in through your nose,

Breathing in love for yourself.

Exhale through your mouth,

Releasing any judgment.

Bring your awareness to your feet.

Visualize roots growing from them,

Reaching down deep into the earth,

Grounding you in stability and peace.

Feel these roots drawing up strength and calm from the ground,

Filling your entire body with this grounding energy and anchoring you in the present.

You are fully connected to yourself.

Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful,

Open space.

Around you,

You notice cords or threads connecting you to different people,

Responsibilities and expectations.

Each cord represents a different external influence,

Weighing slightly on you.

Choose one cord to focus on.

As you bring your awareness to it,

Sense where it connects to your body.

Perhaps it meets you at your heart,

Your stomach,

Your shoulders,

Wherever you feel it most.

Allow yourself to simply observe the sensation without judgment.

With a deep inhale,

Feel your power.

And as you exhale,

Visualize yourself gently but firmly releasing this cord,

Untying it or cutting it.

Watch it fall away,

Releasing its weight,

And feel a lightness begin to take its place.

When you're ready,

Turn your focus to another cord.

Bring your awareness to its connection point,

Noticing how it feels.

When you feel ready,

Repeat the release process,

Allowing this connection to gently fall away,

Freeing up more of your energy.

Continue this process at your own pace,

Moving from one cord to the next,

Until you feel a sense of lightness or until all the cords you notice around you have been released.

With each release,

More of your energy returns to your body,

Centering and empowering you.

As you release these connections,

Witness a warm light growing within you,

A radiance representing your own energy,

Filling the spaces where the cords once were.

This light expands,

Growing brighter with each breath,

Centered in your core.

This is your power,

Your truth,

Free from external weights.

Take a moment to affirm,

I release all that does not serve my highest good.

I am free,

I am whole,

And I am in control of my reality.

Let these words echo within,

Feeling them resonate deeply in your body.

Repeat this affirmation as many times as you like,

Grounding yourself in the strength of your own sovereignty.

Picture a soft,

Protective light forming around you,

Sealing in your energy and power.

Feel its warmth and strength surrounding you,

Safe and grounded,

Connected only to what serves your highest self.

Take a few deep breaths,

Bringing your awareness back to the present.

When you're ready,

Wiggle your fingers and toes gently,

And slowly open your eyes.

Carry this sense of empowerment and release with you,

Feeling grounded and aligned.
