Cut Cords of Attachment — As Goldilocks Would
April 7th, 2008 by Rose Rosetree
This blog has included a great question about cutting cords of attachment as part of our ongoing conversation about this leading-edge technology, the practical side of aura readings and spiritual readings. Meg’s Question 7 included this:
I have in the last few days been to a healer who cut the cords to a person I had been in a relationship with. What should I expect to feel after this?
Although I left the relationship a while ago I find it very difficult to get him out of my life and move on. How do you know who is holding who?
I had imagined to feel a great sense of relief but feel much the same as before.
What is it fair to expect? We can take a tip from Goldilocks, famous from the fable about her adventure with the Three Bears for saying, “Not too little, not too big, just right.”
When someone heals energy fields, that should be different from doing a spiritual reading or an intuitive reading. Much as I love aura readings, information alone doesn’t do the same job as healing. From Meg’s question, I suspect she was given information. I hope, at least, she was given something. But it sure doesn’t sound as though the practitioner really cut her cord of attachment.
Of course this aura-level surgery changes things inside the client. If absolutely nothing changes, and you are generally sensitive to your inner life, find another healer. In my experience with clients, there are immediate results. More long-term results happen as well, and I give a little homework toward the end of a session in order to help my client move into those results more rapidly.
Having no results at all? That is troubling. (And, unfortunately, it’s also common, due to the status of cutting cords in the marketplace, where most people know more about the idea than how to actually do it or what would be involved in doing this with professional-caliber skills.)
It is also true that some people are so unaware of their spiritual experience, or about anything inner other than, perhaps, some fixed idea, that they wouldn’t notice a thing subtler than being slammed across the head by a large piece of wood.
Meg has a good future ahead of her, with cutting cords of attachment, because she is clearly someone who pays attention. Blog-Buddies who have had experiences of any kind with cutting cords of attachment, what have you noticed?
Note: For the rest of my answer to Meg, See Comment 8 here. And, of course, you can learn to cut cords for yourself with my how-to book Cut Cords of Attachment: Heal Yourself and Others with Energy Spirituality. Some clients read it just as a consumer guide, and that’s a great use of the book as well.
To get you started in becoming a smart consumer about cutting cords, you can read these FAQs for free. But a quality conversation about this aspect of energy fields, cutting cords of attachment, really does take some time, so give this process the respect due to a powerful and permanent form of surgery (and also the respect due to YOU).



After cord cutting, which is usually about the negative side of a relationship to another person, I have felt sad, unhappy and occasionally even angry, so don’t expect to be elated after hearing about the unpleasant reality of a relationship. Sometimes I even wondered if it is a nice job to talk about negative stuff all the time.
Rose,
This comment is for Meg, or anyone else out there in the blogosphere, as I have been one of your many clients who has experienced a healing after a cord the size of a large pizza was cut in February. It was a healing from a very traumatic incident that happened nine years ago. I felt the effects immediately, even though the healing took about 21 days facilitated by the homework you gave. It only got better after that! I was not puzzled, confused nor did I need to question whether or not the cord was cut…it was…cut and “signed..sealed..delivered…NOT MINE.” (ok I made the last part up based on an old song:-)
I can’t say I’ve felt elated to hear about the negative dynamics in a relationship after a cord cutting, but I have felt relief, validation, or even mourning.
But knowing that these negative dynamics will no longer be circulating in a cord to me 24/7 definitely does have me elated.
And knowing that I get to keep the unconditional love and spiritual tie of the relationship? Priceless.
OK, that was not a Mastercard commercial, but there you have my two cents!
In answer to your question ‘what did I notice’….
I have experienced cord cuttings with Rose (various sessions which took place over extended periods of time)and my results were incredible. I have not attempted or sought out this with anyone other than Rose, so I want to acknowledge this upfront too.
I felt astounded at her depth and her clear articulation about dynamics in the cord between myself and another (How much detail? So much detail she could discern even to the point of separating and clarifying my energy and the other’s energy — both positive and negative aspects).
WOW!! This was a first for me.
I felt blown away by what was revealed to me in these cord cutting sessions.
I felt a sense of empowerment, I felt a sense of increased insight, wisdom and perspective to hear her recognize, acknowledge, validate and even reframe my negative (often quite painful) experience.
After the cords were cut and after I processed the energy, material, wound, whatever we call it, I felt complete freedom (from what I call negative pulls of thoughts or energy towards that other individual).
Later I realized I emerged with a greater sense of compassion towards myself. What an incredible blessing
with gratitude,
Beth
