Cord Cutting Ritual for Psychic Protection

If you are dealing with psychic vampirism, psychic attack, or both - or if you suspect you are doing these things to someone else and you want to stop - performing a cord cutting ritual is your best line of defense. In my experience of hearing the unconscious minds of those who are attached to me, only cord cuttings have been truly effective in removing these voices from my mind, meaning the attachment has been removed.

Things to Know Before You Perform a Cord Cutting

• A cord cutting occurs purely in the nonphysical and will not harm you or the other person in any way. In fact, both parties are likely to feel some relief afterwards.

  
  

• A cord cutting will not eliminate any positive bond you may have with another person. I have done them with my partner more than once, and we've both felt lighter afterwards. It was just letting go of old baggage.

  
  

• In many cases, you and the other party may feel relief immediately, but this is not guaranteed. If you feel no difference immediately, do not assume that the cord cutting did not work. The physical, mental, and interpersonal symptoms of psychic vampirism and attack appear over time, so they may not all resolve immediately. Trust your intuition.

  
  

• As I've mentioned, "cords" are traditionally depicted as invisible umbilical cords, but in my experience, attachments can look like just about anything. I've intuitively perceived everything from steel cables to pipes, earbuds in my ears, metal collars, chains and manacles, metal plates, and even umbilical cords that had grown to the size of tree trunks (!). The nature of the connection will depend on the part of the body it's attached to, the other person's intentions, and the severity or duration of the attachment.

  
  

• It is recommended that you do not drink, smoke, or partake in any substances for at least 30 minutes after a cord cutting, as this will weaken your energy field, and the other party is likely to still be orbiting it. This is especially true if it's a substance the other party has been piggybacking on through your energy; it could invite immediate reattachment.

  
  

• If you perform a cord cutting, but you stay in touch with the person, and the underlying situation between you is not yet resolved, please be aware that there is a strong chance that the attachment will just form again as you continue to interact, even by text. In my experience, while a cord cutting may provide temporary relief with a person you regularly interact with, a cord cutting is most effective after you have completely cut contact with someone - including digitally (texts, social media, and emails). Alternatively, as in the case with psychic attack, you could try to work out any unresolved issues with the other person via open communication, and if you are successful, you could do a cord cutting then to release the old attachment.

  
  

• A cord cutting can be performed for the same person as many times as necessary. For instance, maybe you have a friend or ex whom you rarely see anymore, so you do a cord cutting and then experience relief. But if they message you again down the road, once you read it, they can reattach to you that way, so it may be a good idea to do it again.

  
  

• Do not be tempted to skip steps. I once tried a stripped-down version of this ritual, leaving out the overall protection and the healing of the other person, basically just focusing on removing the attachments from and healing myself. It was a disaster that ultimately only made things worse. Yes, this process is involved, but if you're serious about removing an attachment in the proper and most effective way, every step is necessary.

Additional Considerations for Cord Cutting

There are many different variations on cord cutting rituals, which can be found online, some of which involve physically cutting something, like a ribbon. While this ritual is typically called a cord "cutting," I don't find cutting anything to be necessary, and in fact, I consider it overly simplistic (loose ends are more likely to reattach). What I have learned over time is that attachments often anchor in multiple if not all chakras and energy points of the body, which need to be removed individually and completely. The ritual I present here is adapted from something I found online years ago, tailored to my specific needs to condense it and make it easier - for example, I do not attend to the chakras from the back as well, only from the front. But I find it is no less effective.

This ritual can be performed alone, or with a trusted friend or partner who performs it for you (both of you physically present). I prefer to work with my partner, who is very intuitive, but I have also had good results on my own. For our purposes, I will present the ritual as if it is being performed alone.

It can be helpful to put on some soothing or spiritual music to keep you grounded (and to block out intrusive voices, if you ever hear the other person). You can also light candles, burn incense, smudge yourself - whatever helps you get into a more receptive mindset. Make sure you are in a quiet, private place where you will not be interrupted. This process, depending on your intuitive abilities and level of focus, should take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.

Depending on whether you are working solo or with a partner, this ritual may be performed standing, sitting in a chair, seated cross-legged, or lying down. If you use a chair, pull up another chair for the energy of the person you are releasing. You should be oriented facing them, with enough space between you to build a fire (energetically, not literally).

How to Do a Cord Cutting

1. Draw a protective circle around yourself. To begin, using your fingers, draw a protective circle of light around yourself on the floor, moving clockwise, with the intention that this circle will protect your boundaries throughout the ritual. You may choose to invoke this out loud.

   
   

2. Invite in the other person's energy. Draw another protective circle clockwise around where the other party's energy will be positioned, then invite their energy in. You may do this silently with intention, or you may choose to briefly speak your intentions for this ritual to the other party. (Try to keep any strong emotions out of it.) Bow to them with your hands in prayer position to acknowledge your gratitude for their presence and the work that is about to be done between you. Be aware that you may intuitively receive something in response, usually indicating their readiness (or not) for the work that is to be done. Typically, the older the attachment, the more ready they are to let go. Regardless, proceed as planned; this is a mutual healing, but primarily for yourself, and as such, you do not need their permission.

   
   

3. Build a fire. Move to the space between you, where you will energetically build a fire. Start by invoking an imaginary ring of stones around some kindling, as you would see with a campfire, using your hands to raise them up out of the floor. If you have trouble visualizing this, I have sometimes used my hands to physically act out the motions of gathering and placing stones in a ring and then setting up the kindling and logs. Once the fire materials are set up, invoke fire from the heavens, using your hands to draw the energy down from the air until you can imagine a healthy fire burning before you.

   
   

4. Begin removing attachments. Return to your own circle of light. Now you will begin to cut the cord (which is typically multiple attachments at different places). Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to sink into your intuition. Now, move your hands to your crown chakra at the top of your head, with the intention of seeing if there is anything there connecting you to this person. Do you get an impression of something implanted in or attached to your head, leading away towards the other person? If you sense nothing, move on down your body to the next chakra. But if you do sense something, even if not clearly, remove it. In my experience, it helps if you use some physical force when you do this - literally dig your fingers into your scalp, and once you perceive that you have a good grasp on it, jerk it out, acting as if you are physically tearing it loose. This helps to affirm the efficacy of the removal to your mind. Then toss whatever attachment you've removed into the fire.

   
   

5. Heal the affected area. Now place your hands on top of your head again and direct healing white light into the affected area. I find it helps to picture a wound or mark of some kind, depending on what was attached to you and how, and you may intuitively see this without prompting. Imagine the white light filling up any wounds, healing any marks, until your skin is sealed, pink, and healthy again. This step is very important, as it makes you less susceptible to immediate reattachment.

   
   

6. Remove and heal for the rest of your body. Now repeat the last two steps, moving down the body, for all seven major chakras, as well as for the ears, mouth, wrists/hands, and ankles/feet, where I find other attachments are likely to form. Intuitively look for attachments, physically pull them out of or off of your body (depending on what it is - like a metal collar may need to be "unfastened" and removed), throw them in the fire, and heal each area as you go, ending with the ankles/feet.

   
   

7. Repeat the process for the other person. Once everything is removed and healed, move to the other person and begin the process for them, again starting at the crown chakra. It is important to remove and heal the attachments on their end, as this is the source of origin, and this makes them less likely to immediately reattach. Please note that the attachments may look different on their end - for example, if you found manacles on your hands or feet, they may be holding the other end of the chains in their hands. Or if you found earbuds, they may attach to something around the other person's mouth (allowing them to "broadcast" to you.) Throw everything you remove on the fire.

   
   

8. Release the fire. Return to the fire. Imagine that everything you have thrown in this magical fire has burned away. Then using your hands, guide the flames back up into the light, and lower the remnants and stones back into the earth. Thank the fire for its service.

   
   

9. Release the other person. When you have finished, return to the other person, and using your fingers, "erase" the protective circle you have drawn around them by redrawing it counterclockwise. They are now free to go. Bow to them with your hands in prayer position in appreciation for their participation and the work done between you. See them departing or vanishing.

   
   

10. Release yourself. Return to your own circle and erase it counterclockwise.

    
    

    The ritual is now complete.
