Cutting the Cord
Sometimes, after a relationship has ended, many of us have
problems letting go. A lot of my clients often complain of
feeling haunted or even possessed by the dearly departed (who
probably isn't even thinking of you at all and is busy happily
running away with his or her new partner.) It's like the person
has left an indelible imprint upon your heart and many of us
feel that we can't go on until the ex returns. The energy of the
ex might be manifesting itself in all sorts of ways --- in what
you perceive to be little omens or reminders that occur in every
day life (such as a phrase or song lyric) or even as a visitor
in your dreams. There are all kinds of cures for this
phenomenon, (everything from burning bundles of sage to clear
the room of the ex's vibe to throwing out every single reminder
of him or her, including the bed.) Yet before you ditch the
Sealy Posturepedic, I suggest you try this little exercise
called "Cutting The Cord." The idea behind this is that whenever
we connect to someone we connect to him or her at the point of
our solar plexus, the area just below your diaphragm. When we
first meet someone and fall in love, we spend a lot of time
building up this energy which lightworkers say looks like a rope
of light that connects two people. However, even after one
person disappears, the rope can still remain. Often, the person
who is left behind spends a lot of time fortifying that rope
with his or her own psychic energy in an attempt to bring the
person back. The ex can compare to a psychic vampire, who is
gleefully sucking back the energy that the dumped person is
sending them. It doesn't even matter if you are sending them bad
thoughts or resentment. That energy is often translated to them
in the purest form of astral energy -- and they use it to
transmute and feed their new relationship. So in order to
prevent yourself being sucked dry by the psychic vampire, oops I
mean the ex, I suggest you try this: Lie down on the bed,
breathe deeply and become as relaxed as you can. Now picture the
other person and the cord of light that you created when you
thought the both of you would be connected for all eternity.
Visualize that cord as best you can and examine it. How thick is
it? What colour is it? What is it made of? Now choose your
weapon. What will you use to cut this cord? Do you need a knife
or is the connection so strong that it can be broken only by
hacking at it with a machete? If a machete doesn't work, try a
buzz saw. My favourite is a huge pair of golden scissors. Now,
in your mind's eye, snip, hack chop, sever ... do whatever you
have to do to cut the cord. Picture the other person floating
away from you like a helium balloon let loose in the sky ... and
smile and wave "bye bye!" Oddly, one of the side benefits (or
drawbacks depending on how you look at it) is that the other
person senses the detachment. Like a greedy psychic vampire,
they will come back to see where their source of energy has
gone. So not only does this exercise your astral health, but it
often brings the ex back. That is, if you even want them back at
all.
