“You’ve already cut Cords of Attachment to my mother, my father, my sister. Every time, I’ve had great results and there has been no question in my mind. Those cords are gone. They haven’t come back, and I have noticed unmistakable results.

“But lately I’ve been reading about the problem of re-cording. What can you tell me about that? Should I be worried?

What is re-cording? 

Every once in a while, words come into common use and those words don’t mean what they say. In fact, those words don’t make sense at all. ”Re-cording” a cord of attachment is one of those crazy words that shouldn’t even, really, exist.

Although the fear is real. And, to some degree, the experience.

Let’s go deeply into the whole concept — that’s the purpose of this article. After you’ve read all the way through, if you have questions or fears remaining about this dreaded topic of “re-cording,” that’s what our COMMENTS box below will be for.

What is a Cord of Attachment?

When someone in your life starts to feel as though he/she really is IN your life, and not just a random stranger, two energy structures become formed to connect both of our auras.

1. A spiritual tie contains love, learning, sweetness — all the goodies, as you evolve together with this other soul here at earth school.

(Technical point: A spiritual tie is made of etheric substance, because it exists at the level of the forever part of you, the Divine.)

With all the various techniques being used today to cut cords of attachment, some work perfectly while others work partially and still others fall into the category of “Nice try.” None of these, to my knowledge, ever tries to budge a spiritual tie. It’s a complete structure on its own and at least as good as your favorite movie star.

2. A Cord of Attachment contains whatever patterns are most troubling between you and the other person. This very specific pattern may change over time, but it would only go from bad to worse.

Once a Cord of Attachment is created, it will continue to dump its distressing Cord Items into your subconscious mind and aura. This continues 24/7, regardless of whether you still speak to the cordee. Regardless of whether you “work on your issues” with the cordee.

Doing psychological healing about the person with whom you’re involved can be very valuable, and you’ll keep the insights for the rest of your life. However, psychological healing does nothing to remove or “resolve” a cord of attachment except… to give it a relatively stringy, tough texture.

Technical point: Cords of Attachment are astral-level structures. Anyone who calls them “etheric” betrays serious ignorance about what a cord really is or how to remove it or, even, why to remove it. So don’t be surprised if re-cording comes up in such a conversation.

Properly Cutting a Cord of Attachment vs. Re-Cording

Now that millions of people have heard about Cords of Attachment, the conversations are growing. People are coming to understand that it could be very beneficial to cut a Cord of Attachment, expecially a Major Cord, one with truly disturbing Cord Items.

(Minor Cords are also beneficial to cut, and make excellent practice pieces as you develop skills to Cut Cords of Attachment.)

When people don’t have real skill, but more a cute idea about this whole business, there start to be complaints about “Re-cording.”

As in:

• I cut the cord to my ex, but she was so powerful she re-corded.
• When I tried to cut my Cord of Attachment, my father kept re-cording. I guess I must resolve the issues some other ways.
• Even though I tried to cut the Cord of Attachment to my sister, she re-corded. I guess I wasn’t ready to lose all the love between us.

Keep in mind this perspective from someone who has worked professionally in this field for decades:

Nobody cords another person. God has created the mechanism, Cord of Attachment, just like having heartbeats for humans. Re-read the definition above about what a Cord of Attachment is. Do you see anything in there about anyone “cording” or “re-cording” anyone?

If you feel that a Cord of Attachment has come back after you cut it, this isn’t about re-cording. It’s about poor skills in the first place at doing this particular type of healing work. Yes, that Cord of Attachment was never properly cut in the first place.

Some people care more about how they color their hair than the type of spiritual healing they receive. What are you willing to pay for? If you want to go the route of do-it-yourself, get a copy of Cut Cords of Attachment and learn the complete skill set.

Or study personally with a healer you respect — a healer who has the specialized skills for Cutting a Cord of Attachment. I’m not claiming to be the only professional healer on earth with skills for permanently cutting cords. The point I’m trying to emphasize here is real skills.

Re-cording is not a reflection of how much you love someone and how precious your spiritual tie may be, because spiritual ties are separate from Cords of Attachment. They don’t even exist at the same vibrational level, since cords are astral and spiritual ties are etheric.

Re-cording doesn’t mean you need to resolve some issues psychologically, and otherwise the cord will come back. Properly cutting a cord of attachment does not require that you have resolved a thing.

How willing and wise must you be, for instance, to have me facilitate this kind of healing for you during a personal session to Cut Cords of Attachment? Just willing enough to stay present on the phone, or here in the room, during your 55-minute session.

And, yes, 55 minutes is how long it takes for this experienced practitioner of Energy Spirituality to cut one Cord of Attachment. Will I cut additional cords to give you some kind of bargain, as time permits?

No way. This is major surgery, with potentially life-changing benefits. When you go for an appendix removal, do you try to cajole your way into getting a face lift and removal of that pesky heal spur, just squeezing in the extra surgeries as a kind of bargain?

How Smart Consumers Think about Cord Cutting and Re-Cording

When somebody knows how to do professional caliber work at Cutting Cords of Attachment, is the skill level equal to that of anyone else in the field? Of course not.

Cords of Attachment are complex structures. Since the long-term healing requires that you receive validation and insights, choose a practitioner who can help you with that part of the healing. If a healer just emphasizes removal, and you don’t have at least one major discovery about yourself as a person, the job may have been done in a limited way, where you have received true cord cutting but not an especially productive healing.

Many energy workers, Reiki practitioners, and others who mostly emphasize physical healing may have studied how to Cut Cords of Attachment. Yet they treat cords in a mechanical way and, therefore, there cannot be permanent healing. (The topic of permanent healing is something I do plan to address in a future article.)

The healer where re-cording might seem to come up would be someone with other professional skills, someone who doesn’t have professional skills at Cutting Cords of Attachment.

Bottom line, if a Cord of Attachment is cut properly, even if without much insight, it will never return. But if someone detaches a cord, vacuums a cord, uses NLP on a cord, uses EFT on a cord, etc., it will return because it wasn’t properly removed.

If you are tempted to call how that feels “re-cording,” think again. The cord was temporarily moved out or numbed and now it’s baaaaaaaack. Nobody re-corded a thing.

Blame the practitioner (or yourself for not using discernment in choosing a practitioner). Don’t start fearing some supposedly “all powerful” cordee who goes around re-cording you.

What if I feel a pain in my chakra?

Yes, I have had some clients who complained about “a pain in my third eye chakra that must mean the cordee has re-corded” or “a pain in my head that must mean the cordee has re-corded.”

Two words: Energy Hypochondria.

Yes, Energy Hypochondria

The client who says, “I noticed this pain in my throat chakra. I just know it’s a cord of attachment. I figured out all of the Cord Items, too. I just don’t know who the person is. Cut it for me, okay?”

It’s a leap of thought to connect a pain anywhere at all with a Cord of Attachment. I don’t recommend it.

Sure, pay attention to physical pain in your body. And, please, use your common sense there. Recently I received an email from “Joe,” who was having chest pains that he “just knew were from his Cords of Attachment.”

I just knew that he would be smart to go straight to a doctor. Rule out the possibility of a physical ailment. Then, if the pain persisted, why would Joe really need to diagnose his ailment unless he also possessed the skill set to heal it?

We’ve discussed this elsewhere, as part of the ongoing conversation about Deeper Perception. If, say, you have learned just enough Reiki to want to do healing for yourself, don’t come to an expert to tell you “where all your Cords of Atachment are located.” Because, if you don’t have enough skill (yet) to perceive a Cord of Attachment, you don’t have enough skill (yet) to heal it.

Likewise, if you don’t have the skill set to cut any Cord of Attachment, don’t tell an experienced practitioner where you think your cords are and how to go about healing you. A zillion problems could be going on to bring about a pain in the head.

As for this business of “a pain in my chakra,” such a cute misunderstanding! There’s a human level of feeling what goes on in your physical body. Then there’s a spiritual-level perception about the energy system of your body.

Humanly, physically, we feel pain.

As energy readers, even if the energy being read is about you, “pain” is probably not a part of the perception.

So question any tendency to feel (or interpret) a perfectly real, human experience with that oh-so-impressive concept of feeling something in a chakra. Whether you’re trying to impress yourself or a healer like me, you really don’t need to try that hard. Besides, the result will be counterproductive. And speaking of results…

What is required to properly Cut a Cord of Attachment?

I have thought long and hard about this question. Over the past decade, as more and more people have gotten into the act, splashing their theories over the Internet and then complaining when, supposedly, the cordee has “re-corded,” I have given the matter a great deal of thought.

Yes, I plan to discuss “Requirements for Permanent Healing” in a future post. Meanwhile, do ask your questions or comments related to this dreaded fantasy idea called “Re-cording.” And remember:

• Nobody ever cords another person.
• Nobody ever re-cords another person.
• You never, ever need fear being “corded” or “re-corded” by another person.
• Re-cording is a fantasy concept that covers situations where a Cord of Attachment hasn’t been properly removed.
• Question any healer who talks about “re-cording” or gives you instructions to Cut a Cord of Attachment that “comes back” or tells you to repeat the procedure “when the cord comes back.”
