Cords of Attachment — Got Questions?
January 25th, 2010 by Rose Rosetree
If you have found today’s post, you’re a leader. Cutting cords of attachment is an emerging skill in this third millennium.
When I published Cut Cords of Attachment, in 2007, it was the first book in English on this topic. I googled and found three pages of hits. Last time I googled “Cut cords” there were over 3 million hits.
This type of aura healing is really exciting. As someone who has worked in this field profesisonally since 1986, I am thrilled to have this energy technology move from the fringes of mind-body-spirit into the mainstream.
Confusion, as much as enthusiasm, is present in much of today’s conversation about cords of attachment, energetic cords, etheric cords, astral cords, energy ties, psychic ties, etc. I would love to help you make sense of it all. Because I don’t know everything yet about this topic (I’m still learning, one session at a time) but I have successfully cut cords of attachment for clients on just about every continent.
Last week, for instance, I facilitated cutting cords for clients in Africa, Australia, Asia, and that strange far-out place called Minnesota. And I learned that an enthusiastic client from New York was so moved by our sessions together that she took the photo of the two of us snapped while here in Virginia and turned it into wallpaper for her computer. Awe!
Today’s blog post was inspired by a recent comment from Blog-Buddy Nick, who asked (in COMMENT #1 at a discussion about Permanent Healing)
Can a cord of attachment (the permanent one you talk about on the ethereal level, not astral, I believe even though I do not yet know the difference) ever do something positive?
I keep seeing you cutting them and I’m curious why we forge them in the first place. Is it as simple as just draining energy that we don’t need to have drained from us? I’m dumbfounded.
So here come answers, first to the many questions inside Nick’s question and later to questions asked in the form of YOUR COMMENTS. Ask away.
1. “Etheric cords of attachment,” how does that term differ from “astral cords of attachment”?
Are cords of attachment at “an etherial level”? There are three levels of life, and three cheers to Nick for knowing about this. Each of these levels has its own distinctive vibration, knowledge, type of physical structure, qualities of consciousness, love, light, and power.
- The Human Level is where we folks benefit from cutting a cord of attachment.
- The Psychic Level is home to ghosts, angels, spirit guides, spirits of ancestors, spirits of power animals, psychic research, mediumship, predicting the future. Synonyms are “The Astral Level” and “The Other Side.” (Those of you Blog-Buddies familiar with aura healing and chakra databanks know that this is also the level where your aura has STUFF.)
- The Divine Level is the vibration of perfected beings, including the forever part of you encoded in your aura. (Some of you Blog-Buddies will instantly think of the term used in reading chakra databanks called “Gifts of your soul.”)
Beings here are only perfected beings, such as Buddha and Jesus and Kwan Yin. Teachers like this are only Ascended Masters. So an enlightened human like Eckhard Tolle is a great teacher but, for now, thankfully, he is at the Human Level.
Also at the Divine Level are archangels, such as Archangel Michael. Guardian angels, flower fairies, the deva of your washing machine, etc. are lovely but they are at the Astral Level. That’s a very important technical point that I go into at length in Cut Cords of Attachment, because I have come to believe that the way you position your consciousness is one factor in whether or not a person can successfully, permanently cut a cord of attachment.
Other names for this Divine level are “The Etheric Level” and “Akasha.” Sure, you could also call it “The Etherial Level” although this isn’t a common name for it. And it could also be called “The Other Side.”
Incidentally, that’s why “The Other Side” isn’t a great term, in my opinion. People tend to mush together any kind of paranormal, religious, or other experience — basically anything not at the human level.
If you’re going to be a smart consumer of services like cutting cords of attachment, it’s really necessary to tell apples from oranges. For anyone with an interest in doing energy healing of any kind, it is all the more important to use precise terminology. What would you think of a heart surgeon who said, “Hand me that scalpel. I’m gonna dig a small hole into that ribby place”?
2. Etheric cords of attachment – does that term make sense?
Now that we’ve got those three levels straight — phew! Cords of attachment are at what level?
They are only at one of these levels, the astral level. Personally, I don’t think that anyone with professional-level skills at cutting cords of attachment could have a different opinion about this. However, people use different terminology for things.
For example, at the same time that you get a cord of attachment to person X — let’s call him Neville — you also get a spiritual tie to him.
A spiritual tie is at the etheric level.
Far as I know, there is no such thing as cutting a spiritual tie. It is full of sweetness and light. It records all the nice things that happen between you and Neville. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
3. Astral cords, are they permanent?
Both cords of attachment (at the astral level) and spiritual ties (at the etheric level) are permanent. However, permanent healing of cords of attachment is possible. I facilitate this just about every day for clients.
If someone attempts to cut a cord of attachment and there is no quality control, the healing will NOT be permanent, however. Cutting cords without skill could be a waste of time.
4. Are Cords of Attachment ever positive?
Cords of attachment are never positive. They cause problems. When they are removed with quality control, life improves.
Yet overall, cords of attachment help human beings in two ways. First, we can exercise our self-authority to decide how we will deal with this natural phenomenon.
Will we just allow cords of attachment to continue because they are natural, or will we take the initiative to move them out?
“Natural” sounds good. But, to me, “smart” sounds better. Think of the amazing opportunity for fertility in human beings. Yes, you might personally father so many children! Or, if female, you might be like England’s Queen Victoria, spending years of your life in a state of near-perpetual pregnancy.
How wonderful is that? Not so wonderful to the modern person. Today do any of you Blog-Buddies choose birth control? Just because you are capable of producing children galore, is that natural ability so desirable?
Personally, I think that decisions people make about reproductive responsibility are among the most evolutionary choices we make. Listen to a thoughtful person tell you why he or she made that choice — different from coercive messages by opinionated persons who decree from on high what everybody must do. Whether you would make that same decision, don’t you have to admire that person’s use of self-authority to make such a personal choice?
A second way cords of attachment do serve an evolutionary function is that permanent removal is a huge aha! for a client. People learn important life lessons that way.
Sometimes there are miracles, other times just progressively more power, love, and light for that individual. Many people may have their first important introduction into aura literacy BECAUSE they were inspired to seek out a skilled healer who could cut their cords of attachment.
But with permanent healing of a cord of attachment, there will always be some significant, personal, conscious learning.
5. Why do we get Cords of Attachment?
This is the tough question of the set, for sure. I wasn’t present at the Divine Planning Meeting to set up Earth, including all mysteries spirituality, biology, botany, geography, etc.
I don’t even know why God created fjords.
6. Are Cords Simply Draining Energy?
So glad you asked. No!
Every cord is complex, individual, one of a kind. Every single cord of attachment contains distinctive cord items.
Just on the level of energy, a cord of attachment could imprint you with:
- Anger, sorrow, fear, self-pity, loneliness, or any other human emotion of a very specific kind — not draining you but coming to you directly from the cordee.
- You could be replaying, on the level of aura and subconscious mind, the experience of being high on pot or other drugs, someone’s alcoholic rage, or very distinctive nuances of a person’s psychotic experiences.
- Your own strengths of any kind, such as emotional clarity, psychic connection, self-respect, ability to communicate with others effectively, could be draining out 24/7 because of a cord of attachment.
- Traumas, such as rape, miscarriage, bickering parents, horrible experiences with ministers or healers, can replay 24/7 in a cord of attachment.
- Patterns within a cord of attachment are also toxic, because they predispose a person to choose inappropriate friends, lovers, employers, etc.

More Q&A about Cutting Cords of Attachment!
More questions, anyone?
LISA asked elsewhere:
A friend of mine alluded to the idea that cords of attachment are consensual and significant in that there is intent on my part about the kinds of cords of attachments I have, and what is in them… in the sense that the items in the cord are experiences particular to me (my soul??) to learn from and evolve as a human…
Perhaps this is something just in my cords, a pattern, but there has been a tinge of a victim mentality uncomfortably lurking for me around having cords of attachment, like I am victimized by that cord/person and what is in the cord.
That victim mentality doesn’t resonate for me and feels disempowering, so I am thinking there is something about how I have understood cords of attachments that isn’t on the up and up…
LISA, this question deserves more than one simple answer, so I’ll respond to one chunk at a time.
“A friend of mine alluded to the idea that cords of attachment are consensual and significant in that there is intent on my part about the kinds of cords of attachments I have, and what is in them.”
This is untrue. Like your friend, many people are confused about who causes a cords of attachment to form.
You’ll hear “The person corded me” or “I couldn’t cut the cord because the person was too strong and insisted on re-cording to me.”
In my opinion, there is nothing consensual involved, any more than there is victimization involved.
What triggers the formation of your cord of attachment to anyone? It is one tiny little choice, the kind that every human makes from time to time: “I’m interested in this person.”
If you’re together in the room, or on the phone, when a person first seems intriguing to you, this simple choice will cause you to get both a cord of attachment and a (separate) spiritual tie, linking the two of you.
And if the other person has a similar reaction, he/she will form a cord of attachment and spiritual tie to you, only those are none of your business.
“Choice to form a cord” has nothing to do with it. And I can assure you, the day you stop feeling that simple degree of interest in other human beings would be a sad day indeed.
LISA, regarding discussion of what is in your cords of attachment with friends…
You’re in a good position to do it, since you’ve had so many sessions with me. But although you wouldn’t be lacking for cord dialogue to share, I would strongly advise against this kind of conversation.
When a cord of attachment is properly cut, there will always be detailed information available about what was in that cord at the very time it was cut. Accessing that information (if you’re healing yourself) or receiving that info. as validation (as happens if you are a client in one of my sessions) is a very important part of the healing.
Still, this is incredibly intimate information. These items come straight from your subconscious mind, after all (because the level of aura where this STUFF recycles within you 24/7 corresponds directly to your subconscious mind).
So discussing this with a friend is like going into minute detail with that friend about what happened the last time you made love. And I don’t just mean personal details like size and shape and how long and which position. I mean like the texture and degree of moisture in the sex organs involved.
Euwwwwww, right?
Finally, LISA and Blog-Buddies everywhere, here’s another point that jumped into my awareness after reading your question.
It’s really a great idea not to have detailed discussions about what happened in a session where someone like me facilitates cutting a cord of attachment unless the person really — and I mean really — knows what a cord of attachment is and what removing a cord of attachment really means.
You know how a big part of life today is people saying “I know all about it” when the person is mostly winging it.
Charming. Funny. An artifact of the age.
Whatever you want to call it, even very sophisticated people are very confused right now, circa Januay 2010, about what it means to cut a cord of attachment.
I think, for instance, of comments made by the great Barbara Brennan in her bestselling book, “Hands of Light,” where she gives detailed description about how she likes to lift out a cord of attachment, clean it up, and then reinsert it.
With all respect to her and her very impressive body of work otherwise, this approach to cords of attachment is, at best, a complete waste of time. If Brennan had really used her formidable intellect and skills to focus on cords of attachment, I’m sure she would have found something far better to do as a healer.
Anyway, before engaging in chit-chat about “Cutting cords of attachment,” it would be a wise precaution to find out what the friend knows about this topic. Otherwise, there can be a rather upstetting clash between:
*The closeness of your friendship
*The intimate sharing in your conversation
*Describing things that are extremely deep and meaningful to you
*Comments from a really intelligent person who happens to have a confused notion of what it would mean to do anything related to any cords of attachment whatsoever
What does all this create? You can start worrying… quite unnecessarily, it turns out.
Hi Rose,
Thanks for these posts.To clarify, I haven’t discussed any cord items or the particulars about my COAs with friends!! The conversation I referred to that I had with my friend was a more more general one. I respect her opinions and experience as a healer and touched on the COA topic with her briefly at one point. Definitely, a topic worth mcuh more discussion…
I like to get different perspectives/views on spiritual/emotional healing and take from them what resonates most for me in my life at this time. This is what I find works best for me. I don’t follow or adhere to any one particular person or philosophy (that would feel kind of cult-y to me!!).
I have gotten so much out of your teachings and sessions!! thank you : )
many blessings to you, LIsa
I have two questions and I’ll ask in two posts.
# 1 of 2:
At the beginning of a cord cutting session I was asked for my intention for the session. There are at least six more cords I want cut and probably several different intentions.
I am kind of confused about matching up the right intention with the right corder person(?). So, if I have several intentions to choose from and I decide to have a cord cut from my friend “J”, the info in the session and the databanks affected would be different depending on which intention I choose, right?
If my intention were to get more in touch with my confidence in knowing what is best for my health, how could I be sure if the cord needing to be cut should be from like my mother or from my first doctor or someone else? What if I’m not clear about matching up the intentions with the person whose cord I want removed.
Whew…hope that is clear.
question # 2 of 2.
Maybe not a question, but an observation. I have recently had two cords of attachment cut, the only ones permanently cut although I’ve received a lot of energy healing over the years. Both cords were huge and I’ve had them for about 40 years. Both were on the left side of my body.
During the last 30 or so years, my health issues had been getting progressively worse and I’ve tried a shocking and unbelievable number of modalities to address the problems. My health has been improving, but the left side of my body has always had the most distressing symptoms.
Perhaps that is a coincidence that these icky cords were on the left side and future cord cutting will show that they are more evenly distributed.
Rose,
I like these comments and the wisdom you’re bringing up here. As I read them, what came to mind is that I’ve come to the same conclusion with many metaphysical topics in general, especially since I moved to California, where there is interest in so many such topics, including cords of attachment, but the understanding of these various topics…sheesh!
It feels like the Wild West! It can be a real conversation killer to come in with a certain definition of cords or whatever and to find that the other person’s take on the subject is just light years away.
I got so tired of it that I’m quite discriminating about even having these conversations anymore. It’s just too frustrating and in my experience creates more alienation than connection.
Now I quietly marvel at and enjoy the changes I’ve experienced from this work and learning the skills myself and focus on what I want to create with this life that feels much more like mine now.
LISA, re your Comment #5, that is perfect.
KATE, your Comment #1 is sparking a whole new blog post, so check out the one from Jan. 17!
Some excellent questions have come in from S. Here’s the first of them:
I wanted to know once a cord has been cut, what happens to the toxic thoughts of the other person?
S., once a cord is cut, the other person’s thoughts no long have any affect on you. So it’s not important what happens to those thoughts. It is none of your business.
S. asked, “Does the person’s negative about you affect you or your negative thoughts about that person affect him or her?
See previous answer.
S. asked, “Do you have to be physically present with the other person to form a cord?”
No.
S. asked, “Can a cord to a disease be cut?”
No, cords of attachment only exist between people.
Two: You and the cordee.
S. also asked, after her first session: “I also wanted to know if a person is using black magic to change circumstances for us… Can Rose help us with this situation?”
For S. and all who ask me about black magic, psychic attack, etc., here’s my answer:
Usually, when someone believes that black magic is affecting them, a cord of attachment is responsible and also possibly a feeling of lack of empowerment.
Which will be the best modality to use for this type of healing? In addition to cutting cords of attachment to people who trouble you, I can mentor you in empowerment issues as well as perform spiritual cleansing if that is necessary.
Dear Rose,
I have just finished your book COA and there was one thing that I really wondered about. Well lots of things, but all about Divine Homeostasis..
I do worry that once a cord has been cut and I am no longer dumping my own negative emotions through it to the cordee just as vica versa, well you said that others (off and on world) would have to handle the cordees energy patterns etc; do I also end up dumping my own negative energy that I contributed in the cord on others via this too? It dosen’t seem right that others should have to shoulder either mine or the cordees negativity.
And then I wondered if I have also ’spiritually agreed’ to handle others cords energy at a spiritual level what would this mean for me? I have enough problems! lol. But seriously. Is it a case of my Soul and Archangel Michael know better?
And I just thought of another! I am starting on very minor ones as you recommend, but it seems to me that with LOTS of practise you become better at doing the cord dialogue. I think that I may well be missing lots of accurate dialogue because my listening skills are hit and miss right now. Will I re-cord because I missed important parts of the content of a cord? I only ask this because I read somewhere in this blog that doing a ‘archangel michael cut all my cords’ method doesnt work because they will all reform again as important info in the cord is not dealt with. (I think it was a post about a healer you went to who saw cords being cut via this simple method and you said they would all reform the next day.)
I feel like one of those students who collars the teacher at the end for ‘one quick question’ and pins them forever while they are inching towards the door
Okay, LARA, let’s take your questions one by one. These refer to my book, “Cut Cords of Attachment” (which I would prefer not being referred to as “COA.”)
DIVINE HOMEOSTASIS means that when a cord of attachment is cut, any energy that would come to the cordee or go from the cordee is arranged to stay the same.
It’s that simple. If you find yourself brooding over this, you might have other issues that relate to STUFF and the need for healing.
This arrangement is done by the Divine Being who did the heavy lifting during your session.
Re LARA’s second question, Comment 18, you still don’t have to overcomplicate this process. I would recommend you use the method in “Cut Cords of Attachment” to cut one minor cord at a time and notice the results.
I can assure you that it isn’t necessary to sit around worrying about how a Divine Being does your job.
Also, do note that my technique set does not require this or encourage this.
Re LARA’s question about “re-cording” at Comment 18,I would strongly recommend you check out the blog post about why there is no such thing as re-cording.
You will find it here:http://www.rose-rosetree.com/blog/2009/12/17/re-cording-cord-attachment/
And finally, LARA about your question about cutting minor cords of attachment first, as strongly recommended in my book, “Cut Cords of Attachment” –
Of course you will improve with practice. The technique still works, however.
I actually recommend you cut ALL your minor cords of attachment before attempting to cut a major one.
Regarding the skill level of someone who cuts cords of attachment, you might want to take a look at the blog post I plan to make live tomorrow, January 28.
Meanwhile, good for you, LARA for using the book to systematically develop this powerful skill set.
Rose,
Thank you so much for answering all of that. You must get really sick of having to repeat, “There’s no such thing as re-cording”!
As for Divine Homeostasis, I did understand the cordee’s energy dynamic would stay the same (hence ‘homeostasis’!) I was wondering what happened to the energy that I put into cords (its a two-way thing after all, not victimhood).
But I think I shall use this wonderful technique of questioning to find an answer, which would resonate for me more than being told something. I appreciate it’s pointless to brood over parts of a process that are not in my control; for me I do need to understand at least a little of a process before I feel comfortable with it.
Sorry if you were bothered that I abbrieviated the book title, I was being lazy, but shall use its full elegant title from now on!
Once again many thanks.
LARA, you made me laugh, including your resolve to use the full elegant title “Cut Cords of Attachment.” Thank you.
Of course, use the Questioning technique to research anything you like. Music to my ears.
My reluctance to go more into Divine Homeostasis isn’t just about brooding over parts of a process that aren’t in your control. You’ve been given understanding about what Divine Homeostasis is, as part of cutting cords of attachment in an effective manner.
The explanation in “Cut Cords of Attachment” really was designed to give you all the practical information needed to do this healing.
A broader perspective would be that we evolve on earth through our relationships, plus we work through STUFF that accumulates in our auras, distorting reality, causing pain and fear.
Your sweet answer has inspired me to explain a bit more, so check out this mini-series of concepts with one knowledge chunk at a time.
Inspired by LARA, Part 2
Every one of your cords of attachment, LARA, exists as part of the complex maya here, where everyone has a unique reality, down to the finest (and up to the largest) details.
As part of that, a person develops problems. Some of those problems show up in the cord items themselves, with energy flows back and forth between yourself and the cordee.
This is mainly about your reality, not the cordee’s.
Your healing is your responsibility, not the cordee’s.
The cordee’s energy flows, cords of attachment, STUFF, etc. is really none of your business. A small number of clients do become very, very concerned about cordees, or energy vampires, or psychic vampires, or psychic attack, or being victimized by narcissists. Some of these clients I have been able to help, moving STUFF out one session at a time.
Occasionally, I have had to recommend that a client seek psychotherapy or psychiatric medication. If you — or any Blog-Buddies — have persistent, strong worries concerning issues like these, there may be an underlying problem which could signal the need for that kind of professional help. Only you would know the difference between a fun hobby-type curiosity and a major fear.
Inspired by LARA, Part 3
What I hear most in your question about not being comfortable, LARA, is fear to move forward in cutting cords of attachment for yourself.
This reaction isn’t unusual. When I sit in session with new clients, a common experience at the start is feeling anxious, apprehensive, nervous, etc. (I’m not guessing here, because I actually ask most new clients how they are feeling fairly early on during the session.)
The more fearful the new client, the more the client feels the urgent need to ask all sorts of theoretical questions. But this is being driven by fear more than true need-to-know.
So my main reaction to your concern here about Divine Homeostasis is whether you have actually done much with the techniques in the book, especially the big series known as 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment(R). You wrote “I am starting.” Have you cut 1 minor cord or 3 or 17?
Many newbies to this process do like to do at least one personal session with me where I facilitate cutting a MAJOR cord of attachment. There’s the chance to benefit on my experience doing this work full time since 1986.
Such a session can give you a vision of possibilities for your skill level some 20+ years from now, plus you’ll have the experience of moving out a major cord of attachment. And I have NEVER had a client who was afraid of me, or apprehensive, at the end of a session.
Inspired by LARA, Part 4
In my opinion — and it is only my opinion, so disgree all you like — no human being has infinite time and resources.
Assuming that you do choose to venture alone into the sacred healing art of cutting cords of attachment, consider. IMHO, it is a better use of time to:
* Practice the skill, also gain healing, by cutting your own minor cords of attachment. Yes, doing this — not just theorizing about the process — you can gain real expertise at the skill.
* Having one cord of attachment permanently removed in a quality way, yes even a minor cord of attachment, is going to help you feel in control and good about the process much more than any theoretical discussion.
* Then you can go on to do a professional-caliber job of cutting your own major cords of attachment.
And, yes, although I didn’t write it this way in the how-to book, it is better to cut ALL your minor cords of attachment before doing the first major one. In “Cut Cords of Attachment” I ask the reader to cut at least 6 minor cords. This is very much a minimum, chosen to accommodate impatient readers. It is far better for your own quality of healing if you remove all minor cords before “going on to the majors.”
Inspired by LARA, Part 5 (Yes, LARA, consider yourself very inspirational.
)
How else might you use your time, rather than worrying about discarded cords of attachment and analyzing old STUFF patterns between yourself and the cordee?
For heaven’s sake, LARA, people out in the world are suffering. A lot. You could help them.
* So you might want to develop those cord cutting skills further to serve humanity. First, yes, get all your major and minor cords of attachment cut. This will make you clearer for serving humanity in any way.
Beyond that…
* I would especially recommend my “Cut Cords of Attachment” workshop to develop professional-caliber skills. You can find details on the home page of “The official Rose Rosetree website,” http://www.rose-rosetree.com.
Incidentally, there are no prerequisites for this weekend workshop. Regardless of your level of skill at cutting cords of attachment, you’ll take a giant step forward.
* To authorized by me as a practitioner of Energy Spirituality, and to even be recommended by me as someone I have personally trained, consider taking my full Mentoring Program.
That DOES have a number of requirements, as you can research at http://www.rose-rosetree.com. And, of course, the first requirement is that you take that “Cut Cords of Attachment” workshop.
I offer each of my workshops just once annually, in the U.S. May 21 - 23 is the date for the Cut Cords of Attachment Workshop in 2010.
Hi Rose,
Is is posssible/probable to have more than one cord of attachment to a cordee?
By the way, you recently cut a cord of attachment to my mother. Since the cutting of this cord, I am much less prone to sadness.
In the past to keep myself from feeling sad, I would have to do a lot of EFT. I have not done EFT in some time, and the sadness has not crept back.
Also, I had no problem finding lots of good things to say about myself. I noticed feeling more confident in a situation that would have made me feel insecure. I’ve known for a long time that I was carrying my mother’s pain, but I thought it was a psychological.
Thank you!
Excellent, RENEE. Let’s respond to your good results and questions one chunk at a time.
First, “Is is posssible/probable to have more than one cord of attachment to a cordee?”
No. Never. Not at all. Not if you are living on earth, which I personally know that you are.
Each person gets one cord of attachment and one spiritual tie per relationship. Per lifetime.
Yes, I know you will find many people online discussing their theories on the dreaded topic of “re-cording” or more than one cord of attachment per relationship.
I don’t know everything on this subject, of course. But I have been working professionally in this field since 1986. Based on my experience, as well as my theory base doing this work, the answer is one cord of attachment per relationship, period.
RENEE, you noted:
“By the way, you recently cut a cord of attachment to my mother. Since the cutting of this cord, I am much less prone to sadness.”
That’s a great example of WHY a person would choose to cut a cord of attachment.
Cord items, such as sadness, recycle within the cord 24/7. With no effective intervention, these items continue to affect your aura and subconscious mind until the last minutes of your life.
This happens whether or not:
* You know there are such things as cords of attachment.
* You have a great relationship with the cordee.
* You have a lousy relationship with the cordee.
* You no longer speak to the cordee, and haven’t for years.
* The cordee is “dead.”
So it is a big step forward in personal growth and empowerment to remove every major cord of attachment.
Results like these are totally expectable. Congratulations!
RENEE, you also noted:
“In the past to keep myself from feeling sad, I would have to do a lot of EFT. I have not done EFT in some time, and the sadness has not crept back.”
People do lots of workarounds where there is toxic STUFF going through them through cords of attachment.
It’s wonderful to have the cause of the problem gone. Hence no need for the workarounds.
Simpler life. Less STUFF. More you. That’s the way to go!
RENEE, about Emotional Freedom Technique, incidentally…
I have a lot of respect for the healing power of E.F.T. when it is done by someone who really has professional-level skill.
One way to tell if there IS real competence at healing is if there are quick and permanent results. When people tap themselves on a regular basis, many times during the day, they may get some relief, as you did. Which is a fine workaround.
But it’s like those Reiki practitioners who constantly feel the need to do Reiki. Or other mind-body-spirit practitioners who constantly are doing some technique or other to make themselves feel okay.
Enough is enough already! If you’re giving a technique your best try and it isn’t working very well, please consider doing something different. Maybe someone who is an expert at that technique can offer professional services that would make a difference. Or maybe it’s time to change techniques altogether.
Even when Reiki, E.F.T., Pranic Healing, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Regression Therapy, and other techniques work properly…
they won’t (in my opinion) ever cut a cord of attachment. They are separate skill sets entirely.
Even when modified to, supposedly, cut cords of attachment, I have never encountered a case where this happened.
And why would this be surprising? None of these skill sets, or my 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment, is the set of skills to use to wash your car or deliver a baby. Different jobs require different skill sets.
RENEE, one last point here, related to this part of your comment:
“I’ve known for a long time that I was carrying my mother’s pain, but I thought it was psychological.”
Psychological pain is often caused by STUFF at the level of auras, such as cords of attachment. When that is the case, psychological techniques won’t bring relief.
However, it can be very useful to work with a mental health practitioner AFTER a particular cord of attachment is cut. Results can be a lot quicker. (And the sessions are probably going to be considerably more pleasant for the therapist, too.)
Many times, I have had psychotherapists refer patients to me for a session or two. It’s a win-win-win all around.
Information about those phone sessions is here, incidentally: http://www.rose-rosetree.com/IndivConsult.htm#cords
Dear Rose
Thank you for all your responses! I am currently cutting away my minor cords and I just can’t believe that something so simple to do can be so effective and that you can really feel the results not take it on faith that something is happening.
Even though I have had success with them so far (8 and counting) I think that having you cut a major one (or two) would be a really great idea.
Having really experienced the effects I have started to think that I should maybe cut cords for others (like family and friends not professionaly), but while I am comfortable doing my own, just going by the book, being confident doing others I would like to take your course first, thanks for that suggestion!
Sounds like you’re blossoming, LARA. It’s so smart to cut minor cords before going to the major ones. Elsewhere on the blog, I may have mentioned this tip, but just in case you didn’t read it yet:
It’s really best to cut every one of your minor cords of attachment first before doing your first major cord.
Now I know, in “Cut Cords of Attachment” I recommended doing six minor ones before doing any major ones. But that’s because I wrote that book for anyone with even the slightest curiosity. I didn’t want to discourage anyone.
After you start to receive the big results from cutting even a minor cord of attachment, it CAN be motivating to get the very best skills possible.
Yes, LARA and others, it can work to your advantage to have one or more phone sessions with me, where I facilitate cutting a major cord of attachment.
Obviously, there’s going to be more experience since I have worked professionally in this field since 1986. And as all you Blog-Buddies probably know by now, you only get ONE healing opportunity per cord of attachment, at least if you use 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment(R).
Reminds me of a comment overheard once in a ladies dormitory. The woman at the sink next to mine was shaving her legs, doing a meticulous job. She announced, “I only do this once a week. So I’ve got to do it right.”
A personal session allows you to receive the healing results from someone who has devoted decades to developing this skill set. So you’ll gain better results than if you did healing of a really important cord while still having early-stage skills.
In addition, there’s the role modeling factor. It can inspire you, having a session with someone who has walked farther down this particular path — opening up a vision of where YOU can go in the future.
When I teach those 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment(R), it is my delight to have you become the very best healer you can be. Go ahead and surpass me! That would honor BOTH of us.
Hi Rose,
Thanks for another incredible aura healing session the other day. As always, I’ve been buzzing with energy ever since. I thought of a few cord cutting questions for whenever you have time (I know you do not have much!)
1) Will getting cords cut change the results of previous aura research? Here is what I mean: suppose that you read my aura and tell me that certain choices expand my aura. Then I have several sessions in which I have cords cut. Is that likely to change how my aura might feel about (for example) a career or geographical choice? I have this fear that I will evolve so much over the course of a year or two that plans I am making in the present might no longer “fit” me in the future.
2) Can you have a cord cutting session for someone whose name you don’t remember? For example, scuzzy people you dated long ago? How do you handle that in a session?
3) Do you have any healing techniques for people who have done heavy drinking or drugs in the past? How might you approach it? Cut cords to friends that you had those experiences with?
4) this one is actually about clairaudience. How do you protect yourself from merging with other people if you are clairaudient? Avoiding eye contact doesn’t work in this case! I was thinking about it because there is someone in a group I belong to who has Asperger’s syndrome. Every time she speaks her voice is so full of pain and “stuff” that it is incredibly hard to listen to and makes me cringe and leave the group full of tension. How do you handle this? How can you turn the space dial down on sound? That is, when ear plugs are not appropriate!
Thanks Rose!
Suzanne
Suzanne, great questions!
I’ve always had the feeling, with Thrill Your Soul info, that things can only get better. I’m pretty sure, and Rose can confirm this, that yes, how you/your aura reacts to different life choices will change as you release more stuff. But why would healing cause an option that was once thrilling to become yucky? It seems likely that it would only work in the opposite direction. I suppose a new cord or new frozen blocks could make things worse, but that seems rare, and hopefully we’re all releasing a lot more than we’re accumulating!
I also know, to answer your second question, that Rose has said in the past that saying “the man who mugged me” or “my kindergarten teacher” is sufficient if you don’t know the cordee’s name.
For drugs, there’s also clearing out astral debris/entities, which she would have done for you right away if there was a problem (right?). I’ve cut cords to people I did drugs with in the past, but drugs/alcohol haven’t come up as the subject of any cord items - maybe because I’m pretty sure any abuse was basically self-motivated, not due to peer pressure. Drug & alcohol related frozen blocks are now at the very top of my regression therapy list!! Getting that stuff out is going to feel soooo goood.
Thanks Jordan. Great answers. Nice to hear from someone else who is experiencing the same kind of changes.
About the soul thrill changing…I think you are probably right. But if I became increasingly extroverted that could really change a career choice…or if my confidence increased. Then again, I think some of the choices I asked about (like teacher) were NOT choices I would be comfortable with presently but my aura liked them.
It makes sense that with alcohol and drugs frozen blocks would be involved. Congrats to you for moving out so much stuff! It is going to feel great.
