Two old posts, rewritten

Dear Blog-Buddies,

This has been a busy day at “Deeper Perception Made Practical.”

In response to recent inappropriate information online about cord-cutting sessions, studying with me, etc., I have found it important to revise and rewrite two different posts here. If you’re inclined, take a look:

What happens in a cord-cutting session?

Cutting cords of attachment vs. going to a delicatessen

Congratulations to Gladys. She is a gracious new client who  recently had a first session with me. 

Gladys was a really good sport, considering that when our session began she didn’t know that she might have to be any kind of sport. I dedicate today’s post to her… and to all you Blog-Buddies who are learning about Energy Spirituality, cutting cords of attachment, etc. and don’t know everything yet.

That category would apply to me, too. However, I have learned some things after devoting decades of professional work to long-term, permanent healing of STUFF. So here’s what I’d like to share with you today….

Aura healing consumers, reconsider The Delicatessen Model

You know what happens at a deli. Right in the display case you can see some really fine potato salad. You’ve heard about that potato salad. In fact, you came to buy some. Read More »

Addiction relief by cutting cords of attachment

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. I was thinking about giving you’all some sweet thing, and then started remember how one of my clients, “Joe,” once asked a poignant question. Was it possible, he wondered, to cut a cord of attachment to an addiction? That got me thinking.

Sure, this is a holiday devoted to sweetness and light. But what happens the day after? What happens for some people, even, at 3 a.m. that very night? Emotional pain might be even hidden from outward view during that same Valentine’s Day.

Every person on this earth struggles — short of Enlightenment anyway. And of all the struggles that can leave a person feeling terribly alone, any day of the year, isn’t addiction among the worst?

The addiction could be to overeating or sex. It could be to weed or beer. It could be an “addiction” to romantic relationships that always end badly, with not-that-great middles either, and a terrible sameness of pattern through and through.

So I decided today that, in honor of Valentine’s Day,  I’d take you inside a cord of attachment from one of my wonderful clients who has overcome a substance challenge. “Gladys” has had Read More »

Cutting Cords of Attachment — What Not to Tell

Miniature golf, different from Energy Spirituality

Lydia has asked me some interesting questions about cutting cords of attachment, inspiring a whole series of posts.  Today, here comes a question with so many interesting implications! How could I give just a quick response to Comment 142 at the blog post devoted to Cord Cutting Q&As.?

Lydia asked:

My energy worker, Dan, has started cutting cords of attachment. He uses your method. I’m very pleased with the results. Only I’m very curious about the textures of cords of attachment. Read More »

Juicy Peer Posts for Empaths, Aura Readers, Face Readers, and More

Rose Rosetree with a much loved Blog-Buddy

Blog-Buddy Grace gets credit for starting this idea. She wrote:

 I have a suggestion for this website. I thought it would be a great addition to have a section specifically so that WE can review your books, and have our own Blog-Buddy dialogs about how we’re doing, what we got out of it, what we’re chewing on – you get the gist.

Is that a great idea or what? Keep in mind, the main emphasis is your visiting with each other, supporting each other. Reviews are much appreciated but mostly this is a blog-space for friendship and dialogue among yourselves. Read More »

Cutting Cords of Attachment — Can That End an Addiction?

The idea hadn’t occurred to me until I learned about some startling research in my trusty Washington Post. On September 5, 2010, Ellen McCarthy reported on a study that appeared in the Journal of Neurophysiology. It didn’t have to do with cutting cords of attachment, but keep reading and I’m sure you’ll be able to connect some mighty interesting dots.

The research team was headed by psychologist Art Aron (the husband of another psychologist, Elaine Aron, who has written about Highly Sensitive Persons and pioneered this field). Aron, anthropologist Helen Fisher, and others studied romantic rejection.

If you have been through that icky terrain, be sure to keep reading. If you have friends who are stuck there now, in the pain swamp, please send them a link to the post. Okay, back to the research….

All subjects recounted heart-wrenching tales of woe, such as one who told an interviewer, “I can’t sleep. I just lie there, wondering what happened and what could have been.”

What Aron and his four fellow researchers did was to study activity in their brains. Their finding?

The romantically rejected don’t just have obsessive thinking and craving for emotional union. They think about the person who rejected them 85% of their waking hours. Also they may cry a lot, beg to be taken back, call and email a lot, and drink too much. Neurologically, this pattern is similar to what cocaine addicts suffer during withdrawal. Read More »

Living from Your Heart Chakra

One of my clients, Joe, has been trying to live from his heart chakra. To him, this means being a loving, caring person. It means living with a higher state of consciousness.

In aura terms, many a religion and spiritual path could be expressed as “Trying to live from my heart chakra.”

Only, guess what? This is one of the very biggest mistakes a person could make. Results could be tragic, and certainly not as intended. Read More »

Stalkers, Victims, and Help

When I lived in Florida, the sirens nearly drove me crazy. Ambulances were part of it. During my year in Miami, I needed no census to tell me that many of my neighbors were elderly people. Random moments, day or night, the ambulance sirens would wail.

Equally tormenting for me then, day or night, were the miniaturized siren wails known as mosquitoes. Thinking back on that year, 1971-1972, there’s not much distinction in my memory between the fact that my first marriage ended and the never-ending threat of the sirens, one type or another. Torture for an auditory person!

Fast forward to now and I’m tempted to draw a parallel between terrorism and stalkers. Only now I’m not on the victim side but the helper side.

What if I cut a cord of attachment wrong?

What an important question! “What if I cut a cord of attachment wrong?” was recently posed by Blog-Buddy Jennifer. Have you put off learning how to cut cords of attachment for yourself, fearing that you might make an awful mistake?

Quick, what’s your first reaction to Jennifer’s question?

To some casual readers, it might seem ridiculous. As you’ll find all over the Net, “Cutting cords of attachment is easy. It’s impossible to have a problem. Read More »

Outsourcing your life?

Cut Cords of Attachment: Check out the wild "cord" graphic in the Czech Edition

Making decisions isn’t the easiest responsibility for an adult. Personally, I like to think of it as part of the curriculum at Earth School. We have loads of difficult responsibilities, ever-changing ones.

Besides the decision making, there’s feeding oneself properly, managing a schedule, managing money, maybe managing children… yoicks, such a list!

These aren’t just choices or chores but ways to evolve. Every human responsibility helps us to discern and balance. We make a commitment one way or another. Consequences follow.

Because we go on to live those consequences in three-dimensional, tooth-tingling human reality, the learning goes amazingly deep. Unless… Read More »
