Cutting Cords

Does your ex drain you? It’s time to cut your cords.

Cutting cords is a spiritual response not a physical one. Whether you like it or not, your ex is part of your life, for the rest of your life, because you share children. But it doesn't mean you have to be continually be dragged down by him or his attitude for the rest of your life. On the contrary, the most important thing you can do for yourself is to separate your attitude from his, so that you can live your life the way you intend to.

Visually cutting cords is an excellent way to cleanse yourself of your ex’s energy and stops you feeling tied to him and his attitude. It's something that you can do whenever you feel that he is weighing you down.

Simply close your eyes; see him standing in front of you and visualise the cord coming from him and imagine where it connects to your body. Do you feel shackled to him? Is the cord into your throat, making you feel you don’t have a voice? Or is it directly into your heart? There is no right answer. With your eyes closed, just feel where the cord is attached, and then visually break the chains or cut the cords that tie.  See them fall at your feet. Feel how free and relieved you feel. Take a few, slow deep breaths, and if you feel it is appropriate, wish him well and walk away. Either way, you are free to move as you want.

The more often you do this, the less effect he will have on you emotionally and the more in control of yourself and your decisions you'll feel. It’s a great tool to free yourself and empower yourself at the same time!
