Karmic Cord Cutting

It’s like this choking feeling. A rope around my neck, squeezing tighter and tighter. With each breath, it seems like it becomes harder to breathe. I want to get away from it, I know I need to, but it is overwhelming my body, my spirit. It is taking hold of everything that I find dear or value in myself-my strength, my confidence, my self-esteem, my inner desire for true harmony. How can I think about these other things, how can I think about what is best for me, when I have this rope around my neck? Didn’t I say I couldn’t breathe? ​

But what if I told you there really was not a rope. There isn’t a chain or a tie or anything of that sort: at least, physically. In fact, my shoulder-length hair is nicely pulled up with an anti-breakage hair tie, my makeup is primed to the T-as in GORGEOUS, and my strut is all about the good stuff. So, no, there isn’t a REAL rope around my neck, but there is a tug at my chest nonetheless. It is pulling, probing, and tightening with every thought that goes out to him. The burn from our breakup and the nights of angry hateful words and actions has left ashes at my footstep, where glory and pride once resigned. Every movement causes a rush of painful emotions, this is why it hurts to breathe. And that is not the punch line. The punchline happens when I gaze down at my steps, at those ashes, at the wake of destruction that lingers behind me, and the nonexistent rope that seems to grow and expand with every thought that I give it. I watch as it reaches out, pulsating with effervescent colors of blue, orange, red, and purple. Like a tendril, it crawls silently along the floor, disappearing into the walls, seeping out into the darkness of the night (well, in my world it is always night...dark and unveiling). This rope, this chain, this thick cord, reaches and seeks-it finds the other half of its owner, the other half of what used to be me. 
In my struggle to understand this phenomenon, in the path of letting go of what once was to uncover what will be, I discovered something more powerful than the unconscious cries from the aches and pains of my breakup; I discovered the power of cutting cords. I discovered that the same reaching and grasping tendril of seeping energy partially belonged to me! I had the power to relinquish its drain on me. So, what did I do? Well, first I went out and bought a white candle, some sage, some rose quartz to restore my self love, a self help book about karma and chakras, some red wine, a bouquet of pink roses, and....and...some chocolate chip mint flavored ice cream? To be real, there isn’t any special karmic cord cutting recipe or procedure, but there is a process. It begins with you. How long it takes to cut those cords and to stop the energy flow to the past relationship, life, or person, depends on your willingness to put the memories, good and bad, in the past and the learning in the forefront. *On a side note, I did find that cleansing my energy chakras and doing a binding/cord cutting ceremony was beneficial. For more on that, well, google it...or send me a message below and I can share more with you about what I did! Let’s get deep, personal, and logistical-here are some of my powerful karmic cord cutting, old-relationship forgetting, breathe and love again strategies. 

1. Set positive daily affirmations for yourself. This alone is not going to change the way you are feeling right now, but it can help you get your power back. The key with karmic bonds is to take back your life so that you can have your energy stream set back to a positive tone. 
2. Live and let go. One of the greatest learnings that I have found from karmic relationships is the need to let go of control. Trust in your path, trust in faith, and trust the process!
3. Develop your connections with your higher self, spiritual beings, angelic guardians, the Holy Spirit, and your best friends.All of these beautiful people, here or on The Other Side love you and truly want what is best and good for you.
4. Gather yourself. Literally and figuratively. Karmic relationships can cause you to lose fragments of yourself, or shards, and break you down slowly. I coach people to establish new boundaries by setting up personal and spiritual protective barriers. 
5. Breathe and release. With each breath, allow yourself to feel the pain, acknowledge the loss, and blow it away (cuz you don’t need it no more, no more!!)
6. Journal and reflect on your relationship. I cannot stress this more...if you were in a karmic relationship, one of the most important steps to breaking that bond is to recognize why you had it in the first place. What were your lessons? What negative patterns do you need to change? 

So guys much can be said about karmic relationships, cords, bonds, and personal or spiritual growth! You can read more about each of these in other posts! I hope to have provided assistance for some of you out there as you work to escape, and help others escape, your own karmic catastrophes or waves! 

We want to hear about your experiences as well! And if you have anything you want to read more about or you want us to share with you...latte us know!
