Cutting energetic cords is an essential self-care practice for those seeking to release negative attachments and foster personal growth. It’s setting the intention that you no longer wish to be negatively affected by someone, even if your physical bond with that person may still exist. Here are five practical ways to sever these ties so that you can continue moving forward in your life without being consumed by someone else:

1. Visualization Meditation

Visualization is a powerful tool in energy work. Begin by finding a quiet space where you can meditate without interruption. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and envision the person or entity you wish to disconnect from. Imagine a cord linking the two of you and visualize yourself cutting it with a pair of golden scissors, signifying the end of the energetic exchange. As you do this, affirm your intention to release the connection for your highest good.

2. Write and Burn
