Cord Cutting Ritual for Releasing Energetic Attachments

Energetic cords form between people, places, and past experiences—some uplifting, others draining. This ritual severs unhealthy attachments, frees you from emotional entanglements, and restores your personal power. It is ideal for releasing toxic relationships, past heartbreak, or any connection that no longer serves your highest good.

Best Time to Perform:

During a Waning Moon (for release) or New Moon (for fresh beginnings)
On a Saturday (ruled by Saturn, associated with karmic clearing)
Whenever you feel emotionally or energetically tied to someone or something

What You’ll Need:

A black or white candle (for protection and release)
A piece of string or cord (to represent the energetic attachment)
A pair of scissors or a ritual knife (for symbolic cutting)
A bowl of salt (to absorb residual energy)
A selenite or black obsidian crystal (for energy clearing)
Optional: Rosemary or sage incense (for purification)

Steps:

Create Your Sacred Space
- Light the black or white candle, setting the intention to release unhealthy connections.
- Burn rosemary or sage incense, allowing the smoke to cleanse your energy field.
Identify the Energetic Cord
- Hold the string in both hands and visualize the person, situation, or emotional tie you are releasing.
- Acknowledge the lessons learned from this connection, honoring the role it played in your journey.
Sever the Energetic Attachment
- Say aloud:
  “I release what no longer serves me. I reclaim my energy, my peace, and my power.”
- Cut the string with scissors or a ritual knife, visualizing the energetic tie dissolving.
- Drop the cut pieces into the bowl of salt, symbolizing the absorption of lingering energy.
Seal the Ritual with Protection
- Hold the selenite or black obsidian crystal over your heart, imagining a shield of light surrounding you.
- Whisper:
  “I am free. I am whole. I move forward with strength and clarity.”
- Blow out the candle, feeling a sense of release and closure.
