Speaker
You're listening to The Ripple Affect with your hosts Cheech and Nippy, a podcast that explores how individual change has the capacity to affect

the whole. From neuroscience to donuts, we're two sisters with a deep curiosity for ancient wisdom and modern knowledge, and we're obsessed with learning alongside you because we don't know. Let's dive in.
Exploring Energetic Cords
00:00:27
Speaker
Welcome back to another episode of the Ripple Effect podcast. This is Isa, your co-host, aka Nibi. And today I'm coming at you with a tactical bite, a shorter episode concentrated on one subject. And that subject today is, drum roll please, energetic cords or energetic cording. Okay, this was an interesting tactical for me. It was inspired by a listener's request for an energetic de-cording meditation process, which I will be offering you at the end of this episode.
The Role of Energetic Cords in Relationships
00:01:06
Speaker
And because I wanted to turn it into a tactical bite, that involved me doing research on the topic.
00:01:13
Speaker
Well, usually my research involves peer reviewed articles, books, and scientific research. That's the mindset I've been in lately. Well, it was challenging to find peer reviewed research that involves energetics, spirituality, metaphysics, and ethereal material. So I did my best to comb sources, and I plan to give you as much information as I can that seems to be verified by multiple parties, including myself. I do have experience walking clients through this process, as well as utilizing it myself for my own energetic hygiene.
00:01:55
Speaker
So without further ado, here is the general definition protocol and history of energetic courts. I want to start by saying that while modern medicine focuses primarily on physiology, the human organism has many aspects that are not physical aspects that generate and absorb massive amounts of information. Physiology interacts with its environment via ambient fields such as light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and with all other living organisms to generate massive amounts of information in the form of energy fields. In the words of the great Bruce Berger, the body is a musical instrument played by life. Now,
00:02:47
Speaker
Energetic cords, also known as etheric cords, are believed to facilitate an exchange and perception of energy between individuals, allowing both parties to send and receive energetic information. This happens in general conversation. in intimacy, in parental bonds, and beyond. This connection
Cord-Cutting Rituals
00:03:09
Speaker
is thought to strengthen relationships and enable people to sense and interpret each other's energies, often visualized as a thread of light connecting to individuals. I also have heard it described as a thread, a cord or cable, a rope, a light rope, many, many different interpretations.
00:03:32
Speaker
arise out of people's visualization of these energetic cords. While most of these connections are viewed positively, they can sometimes become non-serving or negative, potentially leading to feelings of energy depletion or emotional drainage. And in such cases, a cord-cutting ritual is necessary or recommended or can help you feel better. A cord-cutting ritual can be utilized to sever these non-beneficial energetic ties and restore emotional well-being, balance, and spiritual health.
00:04:09
Speaker
Historically, the concept of energetic cords can be traced back to various ancient cultures, including those in India and among indigenous peoples, where spiritual connection and energy work were integral to their healing practices and spiritual beliefs. However, the specific practice of cutting these cords to manage energy connections appears to be a more modern adaptation, influenced by contemporary spiritualism and metaphysical teachings. The common protocol for cutting these cords involves grounding one's self, visualizing the energetic cord,
00:04:45
Speaker
and symbolically or literally cutting the cord. After severing or removing the cord, it's important to cleanse your energetic field, I'll walk you through this process, and create closure around that visualization.
Guided Cord-Cutting Meditation
00:05:02
Speaker
Regular practice of cord cutting is often advised to maintain one's energetic hygiene, like I said earlier, that's why I use it, and personal boundaries. So this practice is said to have many benefits, including emotional closure from the past and past relationships, healing from emotional wounds, and freeing up energy for personal growth and development. I was once told that operating in our own energy fields, independent of anybody, is one of the most mature things we can do.
00:05:37
Speaker
And I believe that. I think our energetic field is our responsibility, and this is a tool in order to be able to take care of that and make sure that you are not leaking energy to other people or grabbing energy from other people, that there aren't entanglements that aren't necessary for you to operate fully and wholly in your own energy. The first time I was introduced to cord cutting, I took a Kundalina yoga class and they walked me through cord cutting or cord removal process and they also gave me some literature on it and I would like to read that to you now.
00:06:19
Speaker
cords All of us, with the exception of infants or small children, are to be in our own energetic field. It is my belief that this is one of the most important learning processes we can incorporate into our journey on this planet. to learn to stand in our own two feet without, quote-unquote, using someone else's energy. Chording may occur subconsciously, sometimes consciously, and may occur without our knowledge. This is not done with conscious intention. In most cases, they slash we are not even aware that courting has taken place. If we have sent out chords to others and are ourselves courted, we can be adversely affected.
00:07:04
Speaker
i.e. we can drain each other's energy and we and they could begin to feel quite tired or even in some cases take on each other's symptoms. If we are courted we no longer are functioning within our own energy field therefore our clarity can be affected and decision-making can become confusing because we now have their quote-unquote input in whatever we're processing. And that message is from Tamura. Thank you, Tamara. I have ah adopted and adapted Tamara's process since that day. And I'm going to share with you a version that has the structure of her original with some adaptations from myself that I have found to be helpful over the years.
00:07:53
Speaker
While this cord-cutting meditation that I'm about to share but is not a substitute for mental health care, many find it a valuable tool for enhancing emotional and spiritual well-being. Without further ado, I am about to drop in with you. So if you are driving, you please keep your eyes open. um Save this for later, download it to your phone so that you have it whenever you need it. And just make sure you're in a private space that allows you to really sink in, ground, and visualize whatever you need to get yourself comfortable for that. Go ahead and do that now. You can pause if you need. And we will pick up dropping in.
00:08:44
Speaker
We'll start by taking deep breaths in through our nose and out through our mouth. Inhaling for five, four, three, two, one. Holding for three, two, one. And exhaling for eight. seven six five four three two one again in that pattern inhale hold exhale and again
00:09:39
Speaker
Hold for 3, 2, 1, exhale for 8.
00:09:51
Speaker
One more time, deep inhale into the belly, holding and slowly exhaling, feeling the body relax.
00:10:11
Speaker
And as the body relaxes, we continue to breathe deeply, turning the focus inward, acknowledging the self, allowing feelings of connection to come up,
00:10:37
Speaker
breathing deeply, And on every exhale, relaxing parts of your body that may be holding tension, your scalp, your jaw, your shoulders.
00:10:57
Speaker
And as we breathe and tune into ourselves, to just Run a body scan starting at the top of your head, slowly using your focused attention to just scan your body in a non-judgmental, slow fluid scan.
00:11:28
Speaker
Remembering the back body, the side body.
00:11:35
Speaker
Just taking inventory. Slowly bring that focused attention to the body.
00:11:56
Speaker
Continuing to breathe deeply.
00:12:08
Speaker
allowing your focus to maintain on yourself as you scan.
00:12:28
Speaker
Now I want you to imagine center most point on your feet
00:12:41
Speaker
And from that point as you breathe, imagine a root system coming from the bottom of your feet, slowly, gently growing towards the Earth.
00:13:05
Speaker
These are energetic roots.
00:13:10
Speaker
You may see them with light associated or truly literal as a fresh white root going from your feet down into the ground.
00:13:30
Speaker
And with every slow movement of growth Feeling yourself anchoring down, down,
00:13:47
Speaker
down. And as your root system grows, you feel that anchoring, that stability. Imagine those roots.
00:14:07
Speaker
first at the surface,
00:14:12
Speaker
slowly traveling down into the Earth's surface, passing other root systems, passing rocks, passing creatures, gently growing down
00:14:40
Speaker
It's nothing to do, just allowing this process to happen, utilizing our mind to witness.
00:14:58
Speaker
And as these roots grow down, we begin to breathe with them, inhaling up from them. Exhaling out.
00:15:22
Speaker
Feeling our expanded bodies. And as these go down, down, down, eventually they reach the core.
00:15:45
Speaker
And just as roots do, they wrap and hold themselves steady, finding finding stability, finding a home.
00:16:10
Speaker
You are now anchored. You are now grounded.
00:16:18
Speaker
You are safe.
00:16:27
Speaker
And I want you to begin breathing from those root systems and pulling that energy up, up, up, And once I get to your feet, continue to breathe them in and pull that energy, but only up to your waist.
Purification and Energy Reclamation
00:16:51
Speaker
We're gonna utilize it like a pump, breathing in up to the waist and breathing it out, having that energy go out of your tail space.
00:17:05
Speaker
This is gonna clear out any old energy in the system. Making sure to check behind the knees for any stagnant blocks, colors,
00:17:22
Speaker
textures allowing this energy to clear. Inhaling in, exhaling out that tail.
00:17:46
Speaker
Inhaling in, exhaling out that tail
00:17:57
Speaker
Once more.
00:18:08
Speaker
Now I want you to imagine yourself grounded, centered, present.
00:18:26
Speaker
with your focus to your internal self. And I'm going to have you repeat after me because words are powerful.
00:18:43
Speaker
I command
00:18:49
Speaker
All cords attached to my body be gently removed and plugged into the sun. Open yourself to see this process.
00:19:06
Speaker
You don't need to know why they're there. You don't need to know exactly where they're attached to. Open your mind. to allowing them, however you see them, to be gently removed, retracted, and plugged into the sun. You may have many, you may have one stubborn cord. That's okay. Whatever you see is correct.
00:19:53
Speaker
Repeat after me. I command all cords that I may have sent out be gently removed from those soles and brought back to me.
00:20:09
Speaker
Breathing, pulling your energetic cords back to you in a good way. knowing that no one will be depleted and you will be replenished.
00:20:37
Speaker
Letting the time needed to elapse while this happens, envisioning, feeling,
00:20:51
Speaker
yourself slowly pulling or maybe quickly pulling your energetic cords back to you.
00:21:05
Speaker
Repeat after me. I command all souls involved be placed in a pink and green sphere of love and light.
00:21:22
Speaker
This will keep them safe. It can be unsettling to feel people disconnect energetically. But this love, this light, this sphere will help them feel soothed knowing that nothing is wrong.
00:21:44
Speaker
That healthy transaction is taking place in which they and you will be better, will feel better, will operate better.
00:22:05
Speaker
Now, I want you to connect with whatever higher power you define for yourself. I'm going to use the word creator. Feel free to put in whatever you need.
00:22:21
Speaker
And I want you to connect with that source while asking greater.
00:22:32
Speaker
Please bring forth a purifying white light down through my crown chakra and into my auric field. Open yourself to feeling this process.
00:22:49
Speaker
three
00:22:51
Speaker
Release, surrender,
00:22:57
Speaker
opening your mind and your heart to this process, allowing that source to help you clear your energetic field with beautiful, soothing, loving white light.
00:23:19
Speaker
Feel it coming down like a shower head of light.
00:23:30
Speaker
Entering your system and scattering as light does with a higher intelligence knowing where to go, what to do. Clearing. There's nothing to do.
00:23:50
Speaker
Open, receive.
00:23:55
Speaker
Open, receive. Open, receive.
00:24:21
Speaker
Feel this light run through your body and permeate past your physical body into your energetic body all around you. Feeling the space behind, beside and in front of you.
00:24:49
Speaker
I want you again to ask your higher power however you define that. Creator, please bring down a golden light through my crown chakra to fill all voids by filling my auric field with golden light.
00:25:22
Speaker
When we remove something, there can be a space, a gap, an opening, a void left. This golden light will fill that, soothe that, pack that, heal that.
00:25:46
Speaker
and as this light comes down this beautiful golden light with a warm tone and presence that feels familiar allow it to go to all those places those cords once were and just fill in like honey and as this takes place
00:26:16
Speaker
Pull your perspective above yourself and look and see yourself as whole. See no gaps. See your energy system filled, operating, functioning like it hasn't in a long time.
00:26:49
Speaker
And as that light passes out into your auric field, past your physical body, see yourself engulfed in this light as it surrounds you, holds you.
00:27:17
Speaker
You can see yourself as whole and perfect, precious and full.
00:27:33
Speaker
And as you settle back into yourself, feeling now from the inside what that feels like.
00:27:50
Speaker
Breathe. Relax the mind and simply feel your wholeness.
00:28:07
Speaker
Breathing in that light and breathing out love
00:28:23
Speaker
Breathing in deeply. Breathing in that light. Breathing out all thoughts.
00:28:41
Speaker
Settling. Allowing this to settle. To take its place.
00:28:58
Speaker
giving your body, your system a moment to allow shifting to occur, allowing space and time around you to slow, to recoup.
00:29:23
Speaker
And with your next inhale,
00:29:28
Speaker
From your heart, give thanks,
00:29:32
Speaker
give appreciation, give gratitude for all their blessings that you have received throughout your life in this last 20 minutes beyond time and space.
00:30:09
Speaker
And as you breathe, how you bring your attention back to your feet in that root system, feeling your toes, feeling those systems, feeling yourself grounded, feeling the seat that you're sitting on, feeling the air on your skin. And repeat after me.
00:30:43
Speaker
I command my light body, my physical body, my emotional and spiritual bodies ground with me in this moment. I command that all my molecules operate in harmony with love
00:31:14
Speaker
In this moment, I command that my physical, mental, emotional, feeling and ethereal bodies ground and center with the electromagnetic energy of Mother Earth in this moment,
00:31:46
Speaker
Beat after me, it is done. So it be, it is finished, it is sealed.
Reflections on Energy Management
00:31:56
Speaker
Deep breath.
00:32:05
Speaker
Slowly, feel your body.
00:32:15
Speaker
Feel your system.
00:32:21
Speaker
Feel your expansion. Feel your wholeness. You have now completed your cord removal process. Come back to this as often as you need.
00:32:47
Speaker
Have a beautiful day. I hope you're feeling more whole and settled within yourself. I invite you to come back fully into your body, get yourself some water, and do your best to stay aware of your current state while I share a little more information with you. Before you go, there's something I want to clarify. In this episode, courting was described as both a positive ethereal process, one that strengthens relationships and allows deeper interaction between the courted parties, and
00:33:32
Speaker
a negative one that can have harmful and disorientating effects. This may be confusing, and to be honest, it was confusing to me because when I see it, it's all the same connecting substance or medium between people. The distinction I came to realize with the help of my sister is that a mutually beneficial, loving bond intertwines at a balanced point and allows for an equal ability to give and receive. It's created intentionally, vulnerably, and with consent.
00:34:10
Speaker
According, however, is an imbalanced hooking, created mostly unconsciously out of deficit. It is parasitic and dysfunctional in nature, an unhealthy way of gathering love and security energetically at the cost of someone else's sovereignty. Hello, codependents. It's important for me to stress that there is no fault in this and it does not make you a bad person if you've courted or been courted too. I myself have been in both positions. It can be a survival tool, unconsciously used, often with the people we love the most.
00:34:53
Speaker
The important thing is to take responsibility and care for our own energy fields in order to operate in healthy patterns with clear boundaries and conscious awareness without blame. Okay, that was the caveat. That's all for this week. Cheers everybody to meeting those we love and interact with in healthy, responsible ways, and breaking generational, energetic immaturity by owning our own energetic needs and trusting our own ability to meet those needs. Until next week, signing off, nibby.
00:35:37
Speaker
Thanks for listening to another episode of The Ripple Affect. We're looking forward to exploring a different facet of change with UNIX Tuesday. Same time, same place, next week.
