Cleaning and Re-Inserting Cords of Attachment
October 19th, 2009 by Rose Rosetree
Yes, sometimes a highly skilled energy worker will take the trouble to “fix” or “improve” a cord of attachment.
Several things are really impressive about this. The healer must have enough perception to find the cord. Remove it. Clean it. Know when the cleaning is done. Replace the cord where it had been before.
Gee, by comparison, mere “brain surgery” could be considered a skill for the clumsy.
It’s not surprising that this clean-and-re-insert method would be described by Barbara Brennan in her bestselling how-to book Hands of Light. (See the Bantam edition, 1988, pages 259-260.) Brennan is the Lexus dealership among brands of energy healing. Her skills are extraordinary. But…
Why not just cut the cord of attachment?
Let’s be clear about this: A cord of attachment is no treasure.
Just because you have one does not mean you will benefit from keeping it. Or improving its cleanliness.
Going to all that trouble could be compared to having a hideous, lumpy chair that you have inherited from Aunt Matilda. This isn’t a priceless antique, nor a comfortable one. As for sentimental value, you liked Aunt Matilda even less than you enjoy sitting in this hideous piece of furniture.
Perhaps something could be said in favor of giving it an expert steam-cleaning job. Why not resotre that green, gold, and mauve paisley fabric to its original hideousness?
But couldn’t there be a better choice?
Cords of attachment aren’t really antiques
The content that flows through you via a cord of attachment isn’t merely like some ugly old chair that you can keep in a corner and (clean or not) never use.
As I explain in my how-to, Cut Cords of Attachment, every cord contains a unique pattern of toxic energies that recirculate very vigorously. These energies will be lively within you 24/7 until the last minutes of a lifetime. Unless cut.
Will there be some benefit to keeping that cord of attachment around? I don’t think so. The contents of a cord can be important. Frankly, I don’t think there can be permanent healing without having those cord items — finding out what they are after a cord has been cut, for the validation necessary for healing to be permanent.
Needing the information that would otherwise be vacuumed away — that is one more reason why it may not be a useful skill to clean cords. Besides, this cleaning approach cannot bring a permanent healing. Those who clean cords today will need to clean them again tomorrow.



“The contents of a cord can be important. Frankly, I don’t think there can be permanent healing without having those cord items — finding out what they are after a cord has been cut, for the validation necessary for healing to be permanent.”
This quote points directly at a question I have been wanting to ask you for some time, Rose, about how you feel your method differentiates from what I believe you call “the psychological method.” (and I ask this from the perspective someone who has been routinely invoking the Divine Presence Within for a long time, by a lot of different methods, and who would tend to see all methods, whether called “invoking Divine Beings” or called “psychological self-investigation with the help of my own higher self or God” as resolving into one and the self-same process)
I can certainly see the efficacy of invoking an aspect of the higher consciousness to “do the heavy lifting,” in a cord cutting as you put it, but it has always fascinated me that you have included in your method this (very necessary, I believe) element of “reading out the cord elements,” meaning the actual dysfunctional attitudes of attack, defense, dominance, submission, dependency, weakness, sliminess–whatever–that have characterized the back and forth subtle flow between these two people, these two seemingly limited embodiments of infinite being–that is they remain limited until they realize they can (and must) call on the infinite light, sound, and power of the higher levels to “clean up” ad re-create every level of their being, to become one who “lives and breathes and thinks and dances out of oneness with the higher energies, as their companion and their expression.”
This “reading out,” it seems to me, satisfies the aim of the “psychological method” (if the method is part of a conscious “enlightenment path”) by bringing to conscious awareness in specific detail all the “un-enlightened” subtle attitudes that actually comprise the energy of the cord. After all, as you have said, the cord represents the living vibrations of all the semi-conscious attitudes and bargains we habitually and instantaneously create with someone that carry “all the other (unenlightened) energies beside unconditional love.”
The utility or purpose of having this specific, in-detail knowledge is, I believe, that if one conceives one’s purpose in life to be to emerge in full, delicate, subtle, strong, loving, and integrated command of one’s consiousness on all planes of reality, to really master the lessons of evolution and become the enlightened being, one must be fully dedicated to becoming exquisitely aware of every nuance of intention or expectation one habitually (and usually half-consciously) operates from in life, and must diligently, thoroughly, almost ruthlessly commit to searching, scouring, “cleaning,” correcting, and rectifying, regenerating, renewing, and revivifying every energy one creates, sends, or “answers to” (receives, entertains), becoming fully conscious and intentional, not merely half-conscious and habitual, on every level of mind, body, emotions, intellect, and senses–and this is doable on the level of intention, I believe, if one has ability or awareness, either spontaneously or by use of a learned technique, to take one’s attention to and beyond the “source of thought,” the subtlest value of manifest consciousness, where individual mind is bridging into cosmic mind and individual being is becoming one with cosmic being, and one decides from there what attitudes one wants to create or receive, send or welcome (and respond to), resonate with and dance to (or not).
This is Yoga, or Divine Union, or Co-Creating With Divine Beings, or Moving in Oneness With the Infinite Spirit, or whatever you want to call it, and so I guess the reason I write this note is that, in the end, the distinction between “spiritual methods” and “psychological methods” begins to dissolve–dissolve, that is, if one makes absolutely sure that in one’s daily routine one is achieving the daily spiritual melting into Being. If one is doing that, it doesn’t matter what one calls one’s self-exploration and self-regeneration method, as long as it is conscious and resolute, loving, thorough, and dedicated, in the subtle and the gross.
What’s all this warring among methods, since full self-command requires full self-knowledge, and this subtle awareness of briging “automatic” attitudes to full consciouness and correcting, purifying, and regenerating them is the essence of the refinement and reconstruction of the personality, at the seed level, as it manifests out of the infinite–it’s all one process, it seems to me.
Wow, GENE, you’ve really been thinking about this.
I’m going to give the shortest possible, most practical answer I can; otherwise I’d be tempted to spend hours on addressing fascinating little bits of your comment.
When it comes to methods of cutting cords of attachment, or other techniques for spiritual and emotional healing, I don’t agree that “it’s all one process.”
From the perspective of many lifetimes, sure. But I bring the perspective of wishing to enjoy — and help clients enjoy –best quality results as efficiently as possible.
Back when you studied meditation, which I just have hunch you did once upon a time, didn’t you prefer to study with someone who offered a highly efficient, systematic technique for delivering maximum results? Because I’ve met plenty of people who “tried and failed to get results” with “meditation.”
And then it turned out there was no real instruction. Or the “big teacher” was somebody on the Internet without any qualifications beyond a great imagination and loadds of self-confidence. I can assure you, I’ve heard plenty of comments like, “meditation is all alike” and “it’s all one process.” Ridiculous!
Because I work professionally in the field of cutting cords of attachment, I know first-hand the frustrated hopes, wasted money, confusion, etc. resulting from the lack of Quality Control in this field.
With this series of blog posts, and my developing website at http://www.cutcordsofattachment.com, I’m attempting to bring in Quality Control. It’s important to raise consciousness about the immense healing potential of cutting cords of attachment.
And that means permanent cutting, with a quality method. We’re not discussing whether you prefer pink lemonade versus the yellow kind, or some other trivial choice. I really believe that, once healers like Barbara Brennan, Doreen Virtue, and others, experience the profound results that can come from cutting a cord of attachment, they will give it the serious attention it deserves.
Hi Rose,
I thought I’d chime in here as someone who spent time doing both ‘psychological’ healing, having cords of attachment cut by you, and learning how to cut cords myself. I thought that Gene might be interested in hearing from someone with direct experience. I agree that they are quite distinctly different processes and that the quality and thus the results of your method of cord cutting method are infinitely, dramatically different than the wave ‘em away, snap your fingers approaches I’ve seen and heard people talk about.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of your clients do some form of therapy before they make their way to you. I know that for me, during the stage of my life when I did therapy, I had no consciousness of the energy field. While the work I did in therapy was helpful at the time and retrospect most likely set the stage for energy spirituality, cutting cords got right to the root of certain problems and removed them. There were entire layers of beliefs that I’d thought were really me, my personality, my “issues,” etc., etc., that I could have therapized about ad nauseum, but after the cords were cut, these beliefs, concerns, issues simply vanished. The great revelation was that so much I’d been carrying around wasn’t even mine.
An image just popped into my mind of someone having an abcessed tooth and going to the dentist, talking about it, having the dentist see it, maybe polish it, wave his hand at it in the hopes of making it better. Having a quality cord cutting is akin to taking that sore tooth to an endodontist who can get right down into the root and remove the abcess completely.
As you know, I enjoy gushing passionately from time to time about cord cutting since it’s made such a huge difference in my life. And I share your concern with Quality Control, as I’ve discovered similar themes in the world of feng shui. It’s downright frightening to see what some people are doing and calling it feng shui!
Hope you have a wonderful trip to Japan.
Warmly,
(still, for now) Ann
