Emotional cords form energetic links between you and other people or situations. Although some cords with children and spouses are appropriate, most of the cords we have are unhealthy and create an unbalanced dependency or co-dependency with other people.

Negative cords can form when we have traumatic experiences or from a sense of betrayal, guilt, blame, anger, depression, or attachment of any kind. This results in being corded for seven years! When a cord has formed between two people, energy flows between them even if they are no longer in each other’s lives or in physical proximity. If negative emotional patterns are associated with that relationship, person, or experience, your energy and life force can become drained and depleted, keeping you stuck in patterns of the past.

An emotional cord cutting removes these attachments and allows you to clearly understand how you truly feel in any situation – free from the pull of other people. This does not remove anyone from your life directly. Instead, it helps you move away from toxic relationships and situations and create healthier patterns based on your own choices.
