1. Introduction – About the Author

Hello dear reader, my name is Althea Lucrezia Avanzo and I am so

excited to share my knowledge with you in this beautiful E -Booklet
regarding energetic cords and how to release them.

I am a Pleiadean Starseed and Rainbow warrior, among other things I am

also a Reiki practitioner, Psychic healer, Divination & Tarot Astrologer
and Light Language channeler.

I was born in Milan, Italy and have travelled and worked between Ita ly,
France and New York before eventually settling in Cape Town, South
Africa.

I have had psychic & intuitive insight and prophetic dreaming from a very
young age and decided to eventually take this up as a career to offer my
services and help to as many p eople as possible.

Throughout my life and years of experience I have been subjected to and

encountered many different types of etheric cords I will try here to
expand as much as possible on the different ones in order to make it
easier for you to recognize your own.

I chose to address this specific topic in the E -Booklet because it’s

something that I have encountered so many times and in almost 90% of
my clients, it doesn’t matter what type of energetic and healing session I
am doing I will often find mysel f removing unwanted cords form them in
the process regardless of the situation.

I want to help you as an individual be free of what is holding you back in

your life and stopping you from reaching your fullest potential I will show

3
you in this E -Booklet dif ferent ways you can remove cords from your
energy field and take your own power back.

2. What are energetic cords & how do
they form and attach to you?

Let me just start by saying that here we are trying to define something
that essentially is undefinable, we perceive these energy attachments as
cords as this allows us to give a definition of them, they can manifest
physically as cords and hence seen as t hem but essentially they are so
much more than what we can conceptually conceive.

Energy cords are not just aetheric and astral cords that connect people,
places, objects, events and so on they are also invisible energetic
pathways of our subconscious that connect us to divine wisdom, time and
space, interdimensionally and to so much more. They have their own
consciousness because they are made of energy so you have to consider
that when releasing them too and we have to try to be in a space of love
and compassion towards them.

Energy cords cannot attach to you unless there is an affinity or

understanding of the frequency from both side s there needs to be some
sort of resemblance and connection for the cord to vibrate at a frequency
that is similar to your own and then attach itself.

These cords come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, they can be
big or small, aetheric and fluid , sparkly and shiny or dull, thick and heavy
depending on the frequency and vibration they carry. They can be good or
bad carry love and beauty or be draining, negative and counterproductive
for your life and spiritual development. They can attach themselv es to all
the chakras – the chakras being energy vortexes – and if they are of a
negative connotation, they will hinder the energy flow in the chakras and
between them creating blockages.

5
Cords will be able to attach themselves to any of your chakras, lo ve cords
stem in the heart and can be incredibly beautiful – from glowing green to
pink and sparkly they are generally connecting you to loved ones – from
heart to heart – in a healthy and balanced way. Cords that are more
draining and negative are usually found mostly in the bottom chakras, the
Root, the Sacral and the Solar Plexus, although you can find them in the
Throat and Heart too. From my personal experience with client's cords in
the throat tend to become more like lumpy blockages – hence words
unsaid and not speaking your truth – while the ones present in the lower
chakras are more like filaments or of a spider -like shape. This one time I
had to remove these very intricately entangled cords – very much like a
big vide – from someone’s Root chakra a nd as I physically detangled
them the ether (I know it’s a bit of a paradox but bear with me) they sort
of sprung out and became the shape of red spider like legs all stemming
from the same vortex point within the chakra.

The first cords I started seeing (with my physical eyes not my Third eye)
after my vision activated were very beautiful and etheric cords, funnily
enough the denser more negative ones I only started seeing a little bit
later, and even though I had been seeing all the different cords throu gh
my Third eye for years it was quite amazing to be able to see them with
my naked eye, it actually allowed me to work with my eyes open on the
client more while before I only worked through my Third eye with my
eyes closed.

If the cord between you and a n individual is very strong you may find
yourselves thinking about each other at the same time. You may be
experiencing synchronicities with this person or regarding this person,
you may feel their emotional state, pain, despair, joy and so on. It’s
important to be able to understand which emotions are yours, which are
other people’s and which are from the collective, further in this booklet I
will explain to you how you can be able to tell the difference.

6
Cords work in the etheric realm so they don’t respe ct the laws of space
and time like we understand them, it doesn’t make a difference how close
or how far someone is – if the cord is strong it will be felt regardless, at
times even more so with physical distance. On the other hand if you
haven’t seen or c ommunicated with someone in many years the cord
between you can become thinner and weaker but as soon as you come
back into contact – phone, text, social media – then the cord revitalizes
itself and the connection strengthens once more.

3. Symptoms of heavy cording

Here I will illustrate the main symptoms that having heavy cords and
attachments can cause and individual and the effects it can have on
everyday life.

Feeling drained and exhausted

What I want to specify here is that if you are exhausted from
overworking, no sleep, unbalanced lifestyle then you can assess yourself
and find a reason for your exhaustion and why you feel drained. However,
if you can't seem to understand why you feel more tired than usual, you
are sleeping enough an d living a relatively healthy lifestyle then there
might be someone corded to you who is sucking your vital energy force
(consciously or unconsciously) - these can be temporary or last long
periods of time. For example, let’s say your mother is very appreh ensive
and needy and she spends a lot of time in her days worrying about you
and your life, even if you are not in contact, she can be draining your
vital energy without realizing it just by thinking of you and focusing her
stress and anxiety on you.

Unwanted negative thoughts

These can be a bit more difficult to define and interpret, these are often
thoughts that don’t necessarily originate in your brain, they get ‘put’
there, they travel from the connecting cords between you and someone
else. Let's s ay for example you have a dream about someone that you
haven't seen in a long time, perhaps they were thinking of you and the

8
thought travelled through the cord all the way to you – this can be a
beautiful experience of connection to loved ones or a negati ve and
daunting one.

I once had a friend Mary who had broken up from her abusive ex -husband
after years of being mistreated and verbally and emotionally abused by
him, she decided to divorce him. Years went by after the divorce the two
completely lost cont act and carried on with their individual separate lives
until one night Mary couldn’t fall asleep and for some reason her ex -
husband's face kept on popping up in her head, she kept on seeing his
face close to hers and shouting at her abusively like he woul d do when
they were together. Mary eventually fell asleep and she thought the
whole thing was a bit strange but by the next morning she had forgotten
about it. A few days later a mutual friend called her to tell her that her
ex-husband had been arrested fo r being aggressive in a local bar and
harassing some of the women present there. Even though this was not
directly related to Mary his behaviour triggered the old cord connecting
them (or maybe he even thought of her – but not necessarily) and she
received a residue of that energy in the image of his past abuse towards
her, she understood then that the cord had not been removed properly
and proceeded in doing further cord cutting and releasing from him.

This is also how psychic attacks can occur, if the per son you are corded
to wishes you ill and has negative intentions towards you he can actually
send you intense psychic attacks through the cord connecting you two,
these can be very scary and unpleasant, they can appear as nightmares,
ghouls, voices and so on, this is another reason why it’s very important
to remove any unwanted cords especially to people who don’t wish us
well.

9
 Pain and longing for past relationships –
Vengeance/Obsessive thoughts and behaviours
Compulsions to go back to past relationships – even if you are aware that
it was toxic and unhealthy – can come from cords not being properly
detached between the two lovers. Obsessively repeating scenarios in your
mind of how “things should have ended”, “it could have been different”,
“I should have done this instead of that”, “it’s my fault I need to fix it”
and so on is an indication of an unhealthy cord attachment. Guilt, shame,
anger, resentment and lack of compassion towards yourself are primary
emotions that feed into these negati ve cords, they perpetuate them and
make it more difficult for you to release them.

For example, you can find yourself obsessively checking your phone for a
message from them, spending more time than necessary on social media
and obsessing over their behaviours and what they post and so on maybe
you find yourself driving and waiting for them outside their work or their
house just to see who they are with: these are all symptoms of unhealthy
and obsessive attachments from cords between you and this other
person.

Another unhealthy way you can be connected to your past lover or

relationship is if you find yourself often plotting revenge and imagining
scenarios in your head where you take your power back through negative
actions and dream of getting back at them for the pain they have caused
you or something they did to you that hurt you or humiliated you etc.
This is another clear symptom of a toxic energetic cord between you and
the other person.

Another way to understand and recognize past relationship cords is for

example if you’re feeling stuck in your past and unable to move on with
your life. You find yourself struggling to sleep properly, constantly crying
and being emotionally unstable. I want to specify that this is not the case

10
if it’s right in the begin ning of a break up its completely normal to have a
period of grieving – this is only the case if you find these emotions and
feelings carry on after a certain amount of time e.g. You should have
moved on by now but you can't.

Something that is also worth a dding for you to understand about past
relationships and cords with old lovers is the intention that comes behind
the promises and commitment you made to each other – if you were
married and promised your partner ‘eternal love’ in your wedding vows
you made a conscious commitment to them that can be very difficult to
be removed if not done intentionally, the same applies if you had
promised each other to love each other forever and so on, this is another
reason why you might be struggling to let go and perh aps need to do a
proper cord cutting ceremony.

Unhealthy attachments to objects and places

This one is pretty easy and self -explanatory, if you find yourself living in
a permanently cluttered home, you hoard objects and struggle to throw
them away – you can’t seem to find time to clean and refresh your home,
you dread the feeling of rearranging your furniture and don’t like people
moving things around when they come to see you. If you are obsessive
over where everything goes and oppose any kind of cha nge or
decluttering of your space then you have an unhealthy attachment to
your home/workplace/bedroom etc.

11
 Consistently being defensive when around certain
people – experiencing a lack of confidence in yourself
I personally feel that this one is more related to your workplace and
within social interactions in your everyday life at work. There can be
someone's presence that intimidates you, you struggle to be yourself
around certain people and don’t have confidence in your own abilities.
You feel threatened or attacked by someone – this could be real or just a
projection of your mind, either way this is another clear symptom that
there’s negative cords attached to you that need to be removed.

Depression and suicidal thoughts

I will start this topic with a disclaimer; I am by no means a doctor or a
psychiatrist and while these symptoms can be caused by a lot of different
reasons, they can also be a symptom of long term heavy cording to
someone or something that is negatively affecting you and depleti ng you
from your energy. A lot of people are unaware of these cords attached to
them and they start looking for solutions outside of themselves –
medication, psychiatrist, psychologist and so on, in some cases it is
necessary I am in no way discrediting an y of these professions or
solutions but on other occasions simply regaining back your power and
your strength, believing in yourself and cutting these depleting cords can
really make a huge impact and change in someone's life and lifestyle.

As I previously stated sometimes through these cords connecting us

thoughts, ideas and situations can get planted in our heads without them
coming from our own stream of consciousness thought process, they can
bring us worry, pain and confusion, we need to try and unders tand when
they are our own issues and when they are carried through to us from
someone else and be able to act and find a solution accordingly.

12
4. Energy Vampires

This is a very vast and broad topic to cover, I will try to synthesize it as
much as possible illustrating the “typical” behaviours of energy vampires
and people who feed off your pranic force whether its consciously or
unconsciously so you will be able to recognize them and set your
boundaries in time before it’s too late.

The term ‘Energy Vampire’ is used by me in this case more for

convenience that anything else – you may feel drained after interacting
with this person hence the term ‘Vampire’ it refers more to you and your
feelings after your encounter with them than them being an actual
Energetic Vampire since most of the time these people have no idea what
they are doing and I prefer not to categorize or judge anyone, merely
shed some light upon this topic and help you as an individual shield your
own energetic field.

Firstly let me say that not everyone who can drain your energy is
necessarily an Energy Vampire, for example your best friend is going
through a break -up, she comes over to your house to cry, complain and
release her pain, when she leaves you feel exhausted and tired (there is a
way for you not to get affected by it I will touch upon it further on in the
Booklet) that’s okay she most probably did drain you energy in that
particular occasio n, it doesn’t mean she’s an Energy Vampire, in that
moment she needed support and you willingly gave it to her even though
the encounter then left you it left you slightly depleted energetically.

Energy Vampires are often people who don’t get enough love or perhaps
self-sabotage and don’t feel like they deserve any love, either way they
try to fill this void by subconsciously sucking energy from others. They
have a sense of ‘neediness’ and are not aware that they can fill their own

13
void by loving themselve s enough, they probably feel inadequate and
insecure and the more this perpetuates the more they need external
reassurance the less their relationships last because people eventually
realize they are incredibly draining. This is a pretty extreme case that I
just illustrated but as am I sure you can agree we all have encountered in
our lives someone like that at some point. A lot of the time when you
encounter these people after your exchange you will be left drained while
they will walk away full of energy and happier than when you initially saw
them.

Energy Vampires are generally also people who like and thrive in drama
and dramatic situations, they feed of the drama and gain energy from it
subconsciously, you can often find them being manipulative, twistin g
other people’s words around or making a scene in order to put people
against each other. They have narcissistic tendencies and rarely believe
they can be wrong – paradoxically their denial is so deep at times that
they claim to be the ones being victimiz ed by other Energy Vampires.

They often place themselves in the role of the victim, blaming everything
and everyone around them because they are unable to look within
themselves and solve the problems internally. They will try to use guilt to
manipulate o ther people and even go all the way into blackmailing
someone an extreme example would be if you are in a relationship and
you want to leave and your partner threatens suicide in order for you to
stay.

Another trait of narcissist and Energy Vampires is for example they will
offer to do something nice for you, a favour of some sort and then expect
something in return or get upset when you don’t' do anything for them or
in their opinion aren’t grateful enough.

A valid point to consider is also your own frequ ency when dealing with
these kinds of people, if you find yourself often surrounded by Energy

14
Vampires or in situations with them it might mean that there is something
in your frequency that is actually attracting them. You might be
struggling with persona l boundaries and to speak your truth, you might
find yourself in need of approval of others, these patterns and behaviours
are allowing Energy Vampires to take your vital force subconsciously and
become a part of your reality.

If you are aware that someone specific in your life, maybe a member of
your family or a close friend is an Energy Vampire you should shield
yourself and your energetic field before interacting with them. The
meditation I illustrate at the end of this Booklet is a good start to solidif y
your auric field and not allow your energy to be drained by these people.

15
5. Empaths and energy strands – Cords
from strangers & the Collective

Being an empath and psychic myself I can relate very well to how energy
cords can affect you more deeply if you are highly sensitive to energy and
intuition. The first step to preventing cords form the collective to drain
you is understanding which cords are yours and which are not like I
mentioned above, generally you can trace your thought patte rn back to
your own idea/thought etc., if something just pops into your mind and
out of the blue then its more often than not been carried through and put
there – it can be a little confusing as both of these situations can involve
cords. In this part of t he Booklet I will focus more on the energetic cords
coming from the conscious collective and how you can recognize them as
an empath and not be drained.

Being an empath you are literally like an antennae (we all are but
empaths even more so) which if you d on’t learn to tune properly you will
find yourself picking up all sorts of negativity and unwanted stuff from
the collective, peoples vibrations and things they push outside of their
own energy field, you being the empath you are open to receiving will
most probably pick a lot of this residual energy up, the good and the bad.

In my personal experience there is 2 distinct ways empaths can pick up

cords if they are not shielded properly when they go out in the world –
you can pick up from strangers in public places around you, or you can be
picking up from the collective consciousness – these are
thoughts/cords/emotions present in the etheric and physical dimension
they are all around us all the time – the way I like to describe and see

16
them is like a big could above the earth that is constantly moving in and
out and you as an antenna can pick up different things from it.

I could give you a million examples of what it feels like to pick up energy
from the collective and strangers having experienced it for long before I
even knew what it actually was but I will only give a few different
scenarios for you to be able to understand what it is I am talking about.

Let's say you are at the supermarket and you suddenly feel said or angry
for no reason, you might be pic king up the emotional state of someone
around you, they are sending off that frequency and the energy strand is
hooking onto your Solar Plexus making you feel what they feel (in more
extreme cases you can even get physically sick - headache/nausea etc.).
This would be an example of you picking up a cord from a stranger
nearby.

Once I was in this second hand shop in my hometown and I was looking
through a bunch of old clothes when I suddenly felt this overwhelming
feeling of nausea come to me, I literally fe lt like I was going to vomit
(even though my stomach was pretty empty at the time) so I decided to
walk out and take a breath of fresh air. As soon as I walked out of the
shop the feeling of nausea vanished and there I understood that it must
have been connected to one of the old items present in the shop, perhaps
it belonged to someone who had passed away and I was just absorbing
the energy from it.

When I first started understanding how it worked picking up energy from

the collective and noticing how it affected me it used to happen a lot
while I was driving, this is why I also interpret it like this big cloud
existing over the earth’s layer (both in the physical and in the ether) - I
would be driving from one place to another and suddenly get this
overwhelming feeling of sadness or grief for no apparent reason. I would
then have to physically and consciously allow the energy to flow through

17
me and try speed up the process so I would be able to transmute it into
light and love and it would leave my auric f ield peacefully.

Another good example I can give of cording from the collective is often
for me connected to full moon. Full moon is a time of letting go and
releasing the old to make space for the new. Have you every burst out
crying for no reason and the n realized it was actually the day before full
moon? Do you perhaps struggle to sleep on full moon and your brain
seems to go a million times faster than usual? Or on the contrary do you
feel exhausted on full moon and sometimes are barely even able to get up
and out of bed because of it? - Don’t worry it’s actually pretty normal,
especially if you’re and empath or sensitive being, you might be dealing
with your own trauma and release but more often than not you’re usually
picking up form the collective. I often have intense purges where I cry for
an hour or two on full moon just to transmute and release the energy I
pick up form the collective, the last one I cried and released for the
whole of the masculine who isn’t able to do so – it can be draining at
times but also necessary, the nice thing is that after so many years of
work you can become able to choose when to allow the energy through
and when to shield and back away from it.

18
6. Sexual cords

I chose to focus a bit on this topic because in this day and age it is very
common to have multiple sexual partners and relationships. In my
personal opinion no one really knows what they want when they start
dating or being in relationships, they slowly s tart learning from
life/experiences/partners what they DON’T want and then build from there
until they reach and find a relationship that works for them and suits
them well after having learnt from their past and previous mistakes.

Having said that engagi ng with a partner sexually and in a relationship

creates very strong and durable cords – even in the most casual of
encounters – these cords can last up to years and even decades if not
removed properly. If you find yourself having many partners and you
don’t release these cords (even more so if there is guilt or shame
involved) they sum up and can become entangled within each other
causing you problems in your future and potentially in your next
meaningful relationships.

These cords are mainly found in the Root chakra but can become so
strong they “crawl” their way up through the Sacral and into the Solar
Plexus (being it where we store our emotions), they can be of different
shapes and sizes but in my experience they are generally on the reddish
tinge, the y can although be darker like maroon and on rare occasions
even black.

Sexual cords are extremely common, in most of my sessions whenever I

had to do cord cutting and removing, sexual cords were always present
and often they are so entangled within each o ther that they become a big
vine like bunch of strands and I find myself having to physically detangle
them in order to remove them from the Root chakra (or further up) and

19
allow them to be released from the client’s energy field. You also need to
consider when you are engaging intimately with someone, you’re not only
forming a cord with them but you’re also taking on the cords they have
formed with other partners and so on increasing the entanglement with
them and within your energy vortex.

Another reason why these types of cords are so strong is because the two
partners are physically sharing fluids – there's an actual physical
exchange of energy between the respective parts and this fortifies the
formed cord a lot more. Not only you will be picking up th e energy of
your partner but let’s say for example you are not aware and they are
perhaps depressed, negative or incredibly stressed about life/work/family
etc. – you will be picking that up too after your encounter and have to
deal with their negative emo tions on top of your own life.

So really to conclude I am not saying don’t engage with partners, no one

is perfect and you have to live a little here and there, just mindfully
shield yourself and protect your auric field, choose your partners
carefully and put your own energy and well -being first.

20
7. Assessing yourself – Do you want to be
corded?

This is an extremely important point and part of this booklet as it’s really
going to help you self -analyze some of your behaviours and help you
understand if you’re perpetuating and preventing the cords from being
removed from your energetic field. These behaviours can often be
subconscious but once we recognize and correct them then we step truly
in our power and are able to take be tter control of our energy field and of
what we allow in and around it.

More often than not it is the case in a lot of people that they want to feel
‘needed’ in a way and negative energetic cords play a big role on the ego
of a person, we are all human so please don’t judge yourself for having
some of these behaviours , there’s no wrong or right everything is a
learning curve and process it’s just always good to be aware of our
negative patterns and behaviours so we can have the choice to correct
them and mo ve on.

These different behaviours can perpetuate and feed negative cords:

Being very dramatic, looking for drama in situations or even creating

it for your own entertainment or amusement.

Subconsciously enjoying the feeling of being ‘needed’ - giving more

than you are given back.

21
Constant need for approval and validation from the external.

Toxic relationships, toxic partners, addictive behaviours .

Giving your power away to someone in order for them to like you or
approve of you in some way.

Consciously or subconsciously feeling superior to other people

because of your knowledge/life experience/spirituality etc. this can
be a very big ego trap to fall into – remember we can always learn
something from everyone no matter how big or small the le sson is.

Ignoring your gut feelings, not standing strong in your own

boundaries towards others.

Not speaking your truth, allowing people to speak over you and walk
over you and your ideas for fear of displeasing them.

Not valuing yourself, having a dysf unctional relationship with

yourself/your body and as a consequence attracting that kind of
frequency in your romantic or social life.

Feeling gratification from a vast ‘social life’ - there’s nothing wrong

with being social and having many friends, the p roblem occurs when

22
 you need to have a social life and interactions to feel validated and
perhaps fill a void of some sort.

Creating expectations from friends/family members that are not met

– because “that’s how you would react”.

Take offence easily from someone’s response and so on.

There are many different behaviours that can perpetuate these cords
these are just a few of the most common ones that I have included in
this booklet, the more you look deeply into yourself the more you will
be able to understand your own issues and patterns and therefore
correct them and move on in a more balanced and aligned way. Ideally,
we should be able to reach a point where if someone says something to
us that we disapprove/don’t agree/triggering/inappropriate we observe
and don’t react, when we react negatively or let this other pers on's
actions and emotions affect us we then create a cord to them, while if
we manage to stay in a space of compassion and observation we
detach from the reaction and the other person and prevent any
negative cord form forming.

23
8. Different methods to release energy
cords

I want to start by saying that you don’t necessarily always have to resort
to cord Cutting to get rid of the cords that are constricting and affecting
your life. If your energy is strong, balanced and clear and your frequency
is attuned – negative and draining cords will shrink and be depleted
without you having to do anything.

On the other hand, if you don’t address the underlying reason that
precipitated the attachment in the first place the cord cutting can only be
a temporary and sho rt-term solution.

The attachment can also be caused by your own projection something you
are not acknowledging within yourself that needs to be addressed and
healed as I mention above it is very important to assess yourself first and
understand if you are having an active role in the creation of the negative
cord.

Sometimes if a cord is connected to an object a photo or something

significant belonging to the corded person – removing the object or
throwing it away can suffice. Alternatively, you can cleanse and bless the
object with the specific intention of removing the negative cord attached
to it if you still want to keep it.

Different ways of cleansing it would be for example leaving it outside on

full moon, smudging the object with sage or Palo S anto, visualizing the
object surrounded by pure white crystalline light and imagining the cord
detaching from the object to you - or purifying it with the violet flame of
Transmutation – asking for help from Archangel Zadkiel.

24
Be conscious that visualizat ion and intention are both very powerful tools
so ideally before doing any cleansing and releasing act you should take a
few moments to ground yourself, clear your mind and set your intention
and visualization before proceeding with the process – cleansing the
room/area also will help and make your job quicker and easier.

Let me specify that just because you release cords with someone doesn’t
mean you can’t still have a beautiful and meaningful relationship with
them. This booklet focuses on releasing and cutting away
damaging/negative and depleting cords that connect you to other human
beings. Very often when these cords are removed the relationship
becomes even better, more balanced, aligned and fulfilling. It really is
just a matter of you setting your b oundaries in the relationship involved
and maintaining them once the cords are removed. Negative cords come
from fear, guilt, anger and so on, once these feelings towards the
counterpart are dissolved with love the negative cords will fade away and
also dissolve.

Paper and Fire – Burning the Bridges

This one is very simple and straight forward, find yourself a quiet
space, I find this one works nicely on full moon nights (full moon is
particularly good for letting go and releasing regardless of the star
sign it falls in), take out a pen and paper and write down (or say it
out loud) a declaration of sovereignty e.g.: “ I am in full control of
myself, my soul and my boundaries. My mental, spiritual and
emotional bodies are aligned and I am acting for my greate st and
highest good. The universe has my back and I am aligned with my
purpose.” This is just a short example it can be as long as you wish

25
it to be just state your intentions and make them clear as if to send
the message out in the universe.

Write on the piece of paper the cords you wish to cut and the ties
you wish to sever from the person or people involved. Visualize the
individuals faces as you are doing this process, take as much time
as you need, try to have your mind clear of any other thoughts.

Once you are happy with what you wrote down fold the piece of
paper up 3 times (3 as the alignment of Mind – Body – Soul), call
upon the Divine element of Fire to help you purify and cleanse and
remove these cords and proceed in burning it. It doesn’t matt er if
you throw it in the fire or burn it over a candle or with a lighter,
remember this is YOUR process, whatever feels good and right for
you is the right way I am merely giving you guidelines on how to
complete the process.

Shower or Ocean cleanse

This is another simple yet effective and powerful way of releasing

cords and clearing your energy field. You can literally apply this to
your everyday life, call upon the spirit of water to help you and
support you, every morning when you take a sh ower before going to
work. Imagine the water washing away all your cords and cleaning
your Auric field – do this for a few minutes as you clear your mind of
any other thoughts or issues. The same can apply for walking into
the ocean, this can be even more powerful since the water will be a
lot colder and the strength of the waves and bigger amount of water
will increase it active power.

26
Call upon your guides – Affirm. State. Command.
Release. Affirm.

This one is not too different from the declaration of s overeignty and
ritual stated above, instead of writing and burning you are verbally
vocalizing through your throat chakra powerful affirmations of
releasing and letting go.

Again, find yourself in a quiet space where you can let go of any
external worries and unrelated feelings to the task at hand. Call
upon your guides, your higher self and whoever you wish to ask for
help it could be a relative who passed away that you trusted, a
specific type of being (Angels, Archangels etc.) or a member of your
Galactic family. Affirm & state what you want them to help you
with, command the release of the cord, reaffirm the cord being
released.

So, an example would be:

“I Call upon Archangel Michael to the South, Archangel Uriel to the

North, Archangel Raphael to the East and Archangel Gabriel to the
west, help me guide me and protect me throughout this process of
releasing these attachments that no longer serve me.

I Call on my spirit guides and my Galactic family may only the

beings of the highest and purest of fre quency be present here now
to help me release what no longer serves me.

You are welcome here. You are welcome here. You are welcome
here. (repeating 3 times increases the power anything you
do/manifest/visualize if you want to make it stronger do it 3 times)

I am in control of the energy around me, I release the cords to

(insert name of person/people) that no longer serve me for my

27
greatest and highest good (pause and really visualize/feel the cords
leaving your body).

The negative cords to (insert name ) are now released (x3) .

And so it is.”

Repeat as many times as you require.

Smudging

Since the beginning of time in various different cultures and

religions smoke has been known to be used to cleanse and purify
spaces, areas and people. Smoke is directly connected to our sense
of smell which connects us to emotions and memories, through this
gateway and because of this connections smoke can change and
alter energy.

You can use a variety of different herbs to smudge and cleanse,

however sage works very we ll, in South Africa I have worked a lot
with Imphepho a local sacred herb with similar properties to sage
and lastly Palo Santo – a South American sacred wood that burns
with amazing cleansing properties. These are just a few examples of
what I personally use but the most important thing is the intention
behind it – you can also make your own “smudge stick” containing a
variety of different herbs like Lavender , Thyme, Rosemary etc. and
it would work anyway as long as you are clear and focused with your
intention.

You can either have someone smudge you or smudge yourself either
ritual can be powerful, try to cover all the space around you and do
the process outdoors, pass the smoke over all your chakras (more
than once if possible) and state your intentio n clearly – e.g. “I

28
release all cords that no longer serve me from my Root Chakra” and
repeat for each chakra.

You can also add a feather to smudge and spread your smoke, the
combination of air and fire can be very powerful to help release and
cut the negative cords.

The above is just an example of how it can be done but really as

with everything the important thing is also just to make it your own,
make your own ritual, cleanse you own space and really let your
intuition guide you and the smoke will do the work for you.

Bells, Singing bowls & Gongs

Sound is a very important ally when it comes to cleaning and healing

energetic cords, objects like bells singing bowls and gongs have the
ability to shatter accumulated energy cords that have formed around
you. The way it works is that the sound itself penetrates the space
between the molecules and restores vibrational balance in the
designated area. The circles of sound continue to resonate long after
we hear them, it's almost like the sound knows already w hat cords
need to be cut and removed – it has an energy and consciousness of
its own.

As always start by grounding yourself and clearing your mind, then

similarly like above with the smudging you can use the same process
with the bells and singing bowls - place the bells in front of each
chakra and then work your way up from the Root to the Crown and
then back down – do this 3 times while affirming what cords to
release.

29
Crystal Cutting

This method is a bit more complicated and requires the usage of

either a sodalite crystal or a selenite crystal. Clear quartz can be
used in combination with these two crystals for the vibration of clear
quartz cleanses and enhances the property of any oth er crystal
around it.

In order for this method to work you need to be familiar with the
usage of crystals and their properties the crystal needs to be
attuned to your own and personal vibration it won't work if you are
using someone else's crystal. You al so need to be pretty sure of
where the cords are – to what chakra they are connected to (you
really don’t want to be cutting around your auric field randomly).

I will use the Root chakra for this example – imagine the cords that
are stemming from your root chakra and once you can see them/are
visualizing them clearly you physically cut them with the crystal you
can repeat this for each chakra – or where you think your cords are
rooted. If you feel like you have many cords in different parts of
your auric field (your back/neck/waist etc.) you can also cut around
your auric field with the crystal although it’s very important that at
the end of this process you make sure that you send love and
healing and platinum white and violet light to the areas and chakras
where the cords have been cut in order to not leave any open holes
in your auric field. The crystals can cut through very strongly and
leaving holes in your auric field can leave you depleted and even
more drained energetically and allow for more cords to actually
come in attach to you.

9. Shielding Meditation

Shielding is extremely important, as I mentioned above, in our

everyday lives the more we interact with people the more prone we
are to picking up frequencies and energies from them. This is why
it’s so important to have our fields solid and surrounded in white
light to support and protect us.

I choose to work with the 12th dimensional shield building technique

as in my opinion it’s the strongest and most solid method of
shielding. This a practic e that fortifies and strengthens your aura by
reconnecting you to your 12th dimensional Krystal body.

As we work with the 12D shield, we use the six -pointed star, which
is two triangles of Merkabah star.

Find a quiet place to sit down comfortably in your home. It can be

on the bed, in the living room, wherever you feel more relaxed and
at ease.

Slowly steady your breath and start focusing on your breathing

pattern to help you let go of any thoughts that might come up in
your mind.

31
State your intention before you start the meditation say out loud
these words: “My declaration of intention is to serve my source, I
commit to serve my highest power fully, completely and totally. I am
God. I am Sovereign. I am free.”

Visualize in the centre of your brain a silver six -pointed star, the
Star of David in the centre of the brain focus on this star and start
moving it down your chakra column in the centre line of your body,
and see it release between your legs.

Send your Merkabah star all way to the core of the earth, feeling it
connect and anchor into mother Gaia. Feel within your heart
unconditional love and unity for all beings present on this planet.

As you feel your body start to connect more with that frequency
draw up your six -pointed star and see it return back to you and stop
at a position 12 inches below your feet.

As the star stops below your feet it wills start to spin and for a
platinum white light platform below you. This is your 12 -
Dimensional shield. As the shield strengthens it will build an upward
movement of a pillar of platinum white light, allow this pillar to build
all the way up to a position 12 inches above your head. Feel yoursel f
fully encased in this pillar of platinum white light.

32
Now direct your focus back at your Merkabah star 12 inches below
your feet, and draw your star up through your chakra column to a
position 12 inches above your head.

As your Merkabah star reaches th e top of your head it will start to

spin and build a platinum white platform, feel yourself fully
surrounded by you 12 -Dimensional platinum shield.

Now multidimensionally ground your shield by sending your

Merkabah star off towards the cosmic heart of the universe towards
Andromeda and say out loud “Thank you God, thank you Ascension
Guides, I am unity, and so it is.”

10. Light Code for Protection &
Integrating Meditation

Let me start with a brief explanation of what Light codes are and their
use - Light Codes are symbols that hold energy in its highest form, they
are a direct connection to source energy, they pass the conscious mind
and work directly on your DNA structure and subconscious body. Light
Codes are understood on a soul level by your cor e being and reinforce
your connection to source.

For you to be able to receive the code you need to simply allow it to do
its work, you need to be able to surrender and tune into a deep level of
trust towards the code’s ability to do the necessary work on your DNA
and light body.

The Light code below has been specifically channelled to work on your
DNA structure and help you receive and anchor in protection and
grounding.

Find a quest place to sit down, make sure you are alone and not
disturbed, close your eyes and start focusing and bringing your
awareness to your breath, slowly breathing in through the nose and
out through the mouth.

Pay attention to all the sensations in your body, if there’s areas that
hold tension/muscle pain or discomfort breathe slo wly into those
areas in order to release the tension and be as relaxed as possible.

34
Stay here for about 5 -10 minutes just focusing on your breath, if
any thoughts come to mind try to ignore them, I find it helps to
focus on an imaginary blank wall in your mind, use this image to
help you until you are able to free your mind from thoughts and
worries.

Now open your eyes and carefully scan the image of the Light Code
below, absorbing and taking in all the information it presents. Don't
try to understand it or decipher the meaning just absorb and
integrate the image for a few minutes.

When you feel ready pay attention to the sensations you feel in your
body as you look at the image, do any chakras activate? Do you feel
tingling in any specific areas? Does an yone come into your mind?
Any ideas? If you don’t feel anything it's also okay don’t worry, the
codes work on the DNA structure, it will still do its work even if
physically you are not feeling much.

Stay here for as long as you need, repeat for the next 2-3 days once
a day just to reinforce the protection and shielding, works very well
combined with the shielding method mentioned above.

11. Conclusion – Seeking professional
help

Ideally you would want to be able to release any cords or attachments for
yourself, it can be a very empowering experience and it will build up your
self confidence and trust in yourself as you proceed on your spiritual
path. However, it is often the case that because of our emotional
attachment to others we struggle to be able to release certain cords fully
and completely. In this case you can seek professional help, I’m sure
there’s many lightworkers out there that do this kind of work, find
someone who resonates with you.

I offer specific sessions just on cord cutting and shielding, when I first
started doing this type of healing work this wasn’t my primary focus, but
as I started working with more and more clients I realized that this was
what was actually needed the most so I focused a lot of my energy on
learning, removing and understanding cords and energy strands, how
they work and how they attach to people bringing me to where I am now
sharing the knowledge in this booklet with you.

Thank you for yo ur trust and for reading through this E -Booklet, I hope
this information will help you step more into your power and your truth
and release what no longer serves you. I will add all my contact details at
the end and I am always available for questions rela ted to my work and
individual services.
