Using Candles for Cutting Energetic Cords

Cutting Energetic Cords: A Simple Magic Ritual In the realm of energy work and magic, "cord-cutting" is a powerful practice used to release unhealthy or unwanted energetic connections. These energetic cords, or attachments, are often formed through relationships, interactions, or emotional bonds with others. While some connections can nourish and uplift, others may drain your energy or cause emotional and spiritual harm. Cutting these cords allows individuals to reclaim their energy and restore personal power. 

What Are Energetic Cords? Energetic cords are invisible connections that form between people, places, or even past events. These cords represent the flow of energy between you and something or someone else. Healthy cords typically feel uplifting and balanced, while unhealthy cords may cause feelings of anxiety, fatigue, or emotional weight. Over time, we may unintentionally hold onto cords from relationships, past traumas, or toxic environments, which can keep us stuck or drain our energy. This is where cord-cutting magic becomes essential. You might consider a cord-cutting ritual when: - A relationship has ended, but you still feel attached or affected. - You’ve experienced a conflict or negative interaction that lingers emotionally. - You feel energetically drained after being around certain people or situations. - You want to release limiting beliefs tied to an event. 

A Simple Cord-Cutting Ritual: 

1. Set Your Intention: Begin by focusing on what you want to release. Visualize the connection or relationship you want to sever and state your intention clearly: “I release this energy and reclaim my own.” 

2. Create Sacred Space: Light a candle or incense to cleanse the area. You might want to use a black candle for protection or a white candle for purity. Surround yourself with crystals that some people believe help with energetic protection such as black tourmaline, obsidian, or selenite. 

3. Visualize the Cord: Close your eyes and visualize the cord connecting you to the person, place, or event. Imagine this cord running from your body to theirs. Observe its thickness, color, and energy. 

4. Cut the Cord: Using a symbolic tool such as a knife, scissors, or even your hand, envision cutting through the cord, or if you are using the candle magic method light the candle.  Feel the release when you either light the candle or "cut" the cord. 

5. Seal the Energetic Space: After cutting the cord, visualize golden or white light filling the area where the cord was attached to you. This seals your energy field and prevents new attachments from forming.

6. Release and Ground: Conclude the ritual by thanking the universe, your guides, or deities for their assistance. Ground yourself by holding a grounding crystal like hematite or going outside to reconnect with the earth. 

Aftercare: After performing a cord-cutting ritual, you may feel a sense of lightness or relief. However, some emotions may rise to the surface for processing. Be gentle with yourself and allow time for healing. You may want to take a cleansing bath with sea salt or work with calming crystals like rose quartz to support emotional recovery. Cord-cutting is a personal and empowering ritual, helping you regain control of your energy. When performed with clear intention and mindfulness, it offers a profound sense of release and renewal.
