Cord Cutting

PLEASE NOTE: Although this is an effective ritual, DO NOT attempt to do a cord cutting on someone if you even remotely suspect that they are your SPLIT SOUL or TWIN FLAME. You can cause serious damage to both yourself and your loved one. They are you and you are they. That is why I always say this as a last resort. IF YOU EVEN suspect they fall into this category, do not do this with them!

In addition, cord cutting is a tool; it is basically a crutch to help you attain the ability to generate Universal Love. You must have developed the ability to share and live universal love (as Jesus did) before you can ascend. And you cannot exhibit universal love if you have not given up ego, surrendered will and embraced faith. The way this works, is that we are all creatures full of ego. That is how we come to earth and how we exist. When you are a baby, ego is vital for physical survival. A baby is all about me.

That said, being full of ego, we become easily triggered especially by energies (people) whose energy is lower than ours. They may hurt and wound us through narcissism, cheating, gossip, whatever and they might do cruel things to us that cause us pain. But we have to always remember emotional and mental pain is a symptom of ego because it causes us to focus strictly on ourselves often generating feelings of self pity. When you focus on yourself, that is ego.

Cord cutting allows you to release those feelings by cutting off the connection with specific energies. In itself, it is not a healing act. It aids in healing similar to how a crutch helps you heal a broken leg. If you broke your leg and kept using it, it would never heal and it would hurt intensely. Cord cutting allows you to give a relationship a rest while you work on becoming a universally loving entity which is our ultimate spiritual goal in our lifetime.

When I first started on my journey, I was given the message that it is okay to block people from your life (I was told "block and bless") but eventually you have to remove those blocks and you have to re-establish the cords once you get to the point where you are ready to love universally, or love like Jesus did.

Jesus’ words “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” are found in Luke 23:34. Jesus looked down from the cross upon a scene that must have been distressing to Him is an example of universal love. The Roman soldiers were gambling for His clothing (John 19:23–24); the criminals on the crosses to either side of Him were reviling Him (Matthew 27:44); the religious leaders were mocking Him (Matthew 27:41–43); and the crowd was blaspheming Him (Matthew 27:39). Surrounded by this most unworthy lot, Jesus prayed for them. “Father, forgive them” is a prayer of unmatched mercy and universal love. We must always strive for this level of compassion and love even when we are in unbearable pain.

Jesus also said in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The truth of our existence is to learn love, and that is universal love. Jesus and other religious leaders, i.e., Buddha, etc. exhibited universal love. The only way to the Father (Source) is through universal love. So even if you the cord cutting crutch, you will eventually have to learn to throw them away and live as universally loving being.

If you need the crutch of cord cutting to help you get to the point where you can universally love, then it is okay to use it. It is okay to go no contact. It is okay to block people. It is okay to set boundaries. But always remember these are temporary crutches. You must work on developing universal love for EVERYONE, and you will have to rid yourself of those crutches in time and allow yourself to show love to all people. This is sometimes confused with forgiveness, and in truth, forgiveness is a component of the process. That does not mean that you have to allow these people back into your lives, you just eventually have to be able to open yourself to them with universal love.

Forgiveness is important also, but the most important componenet of forgiveness is forgiving yourself first and your part or reaction to a situation. Too often, we use forgiveness to "judge" others. For example, someone hurts your feelings, and you say, 'I forgive you for hurting my feelings" which is a statement full of judgement. Instead, say, "I forgive myself for my reaction to what you did and accept responsibility for my feelings of hurt. I forgive you for what you did and wish you only love."

Remember only Source (God/the Divine) can judge. We are not in a position to judge others and never will be.

The cord cutting ritual symbolically eliminates negative energies and relationships from your life. Yes, it is a spell, or a type of prayer if you will Some consider it “witchcraft.” But in essence, they are simply rituals to help you focus to get clarity. If you go to church, temple, or other places of worship, you already do rituals and spells.

In fact, most religions use rituals and spells, although they never call them that. Communion and baptism are a notable example of how rituals, spell work, and casting is used in Christianity. (Although, please never tell a fervent Christian they are performing witchcraft when they get baptized or take communion!).

Cord cutting is one of the most basic rituals and simply allows you to symbolically let go of a relationship or a situation with intent. Everything about ritual work (and prayer, which is really nothing more than ritual work) is intent. You must focus on what you want to accomplish, what you are being lead to accomplish, and your intent needs to be for the better good. You must remember, however, even if you want something with all your heart and soul, the Universe/God/Source might have something else for you in mind. You will always get what you need, but you don't always get what you want.

“Do no harm” is a huge doctrine in ritual work. You should never do a cord cutting for someone else, especially if you are attempting to interfere with their free will. For example, if you do a cord cutting on your ex and his new girlfriend thinking it will break them up and bring your ex back to you, you are in for a huge awakening because that is not the way the Universe works. That is not leading you to universal love. If on the other hand, in that same scenario you wish to do a cord cutting between you and your ex to help you move on, let go, and find someone new; that is very acceptable, and you will receive positive results but it must be done with love.

Some practitioners can do cord cuttings for you, but most people can and should do their own. That is your choice. But you can do it yourself with the instructions below.

Basic Supplies:

• Two candles (I use tea lights, but tapers work well also)

• About a foot of cord/twine (you can buy this at any craft store)

• A fireproof dish

• Water

• Small glass food jar with a lid (an old food jar or even a baby food jar is fine)

I usually prepare by taking a salt bath or doing a salt scrub in the shower, wash my hair and remove all make up and fragrance. All the while I am cleansing, I focus on my intent and the cord I want to sever. I focus strongly that I am severing this connection with love, honor, and respect, and that I am releasing the person and/or situation from any bad feelings or karma.

Intent is vital!

Steps to Doing a Cord Cutting:

1. Gather up your supplies and prepare yourself mentally. Make sure you are in a place where you will not be disturbed during the ritual.

2. Dress your candles, which means you tie the candles together with the cord/twine. I do this by tying the cord/twine in a loop and draping is around the wicks, letting it lay on the candle if I am using a tea light. If I am using a taper, I tie the cord/twine a little tighter around the middle of the candle.

3. Place the candles in a flame proof dish, pulling them slightly taut so that the cord is not falling, and put a little water in the dish. If I use tea lights, I can do this with a simple saucer. If I use a taper, I will usually find a flat bottomed dish, like a small casserole dish. Again, you don’t have to be fancy. It is all about intent. I put enough water in the plate or dish to ensure the plate stays cool and to allow the water to absorb any negative energy.

4. Now, again, set your intention by mediating for a bit on what you wish to do by focusing on severing the cords between you and who/whatever. Sometimes it helps to write these intentions down on paper which you will dispose of after the ritual.

5. Light the candles and watch the flames and cord burning. While you watch the candle burning, imagine and focus on the cords being severed and the energy being released into the Universe with love. I have listed basic flame meanings below so you can gauge how the ritual is progressing.

6. Once the candles are burned down and the cord/twine is dissolved into ashes, you will need to dispose of the remnants including the water. To dispose of the water, the remnants of the candles, and the paper where you have written your intentions, gather them and place them in an airtight jar (an old food jar that you have saved and cleaned out is fine) and find a safe place to store it or bury it where it will not be disturbed. As you are putting the items in the jar, focus your intent that spell is now “sealed” and cannot be broken. If, in the future, you discover that the jar has come unsealed or broken, simply redo the spell.

Basic Flame Meanings

1. Tall, Strong flame: A tall, strong flame indicates the spell is working and is strong enough to push through any obstacles that might be there.

2. Low flame: A low flame can indicate that more work needs to be done for there to be satisfactory results. You might need to repeat the spell in a week or two.

3. Short, Weak flame: A short and weak flame can indicate that your intentions are not clear or are not in your best interest; or for the greater good. If this happens, I suggest meditating on what you are trying to accomplish and try the spell again once you get clarity on what you are trying to accomplish. Keep in mind, the Universe/God/Source will not give you something just because you want it. Think of the old Garth Brooks song, “Unanswered Prayers.” There’s truth there.

4. Steady flame: A steady flame is a positive indication that the spell is working in your favor.

5. Blue/Colored flame: A blue or colored flame other than orange and yellow can indicate the presence of a spirit, angel, or highly evolved entity. One clue that this is happening is if you start to feel tingles on your scalp. You might even feel you are getting messages, especially on the left side of your body.

6. Dancing flame: A dancing flame indicates that the spell will work, but there are still problems, most likely intent. You might need to repeat in a week or two.

7. Dual flame: A dual flame can indicate that another force, energy, spirit, or deity has joined the work and is a good sign that your work is working in your favor.

8. Flame self-extinguishes: This means that the work is done, a self-extinguishing flame is a great indication that your work went well, and your prayer was received by the Spirit world.

9. Quick burning, uneven: A quick burning that is uneven can indicate that you were not properly grounded before starting. Try again at a different time, if the results are the same, you need to recast another time. You also need to meditate on your intent.

10. Quick burning, even: A quick and even burning is a great indication that your spell worked, however a super quick and out of control burning indicates that you may need to reevaluate your work.

Remember that your initial indications and insights always trump a basic meaning or explanation. Trust your intuition and inner guidance.
