My friends
I have been directed to cut negative energetic cords. I don't exactly know what this means. I do know that I can hold myself back and find it hard to let go of the past, especially the hurt.
I am losing faith in my ability to manifest my dreams in Art and Musical projects. I have the Talent, but not the Faith.
There is a lot I hold back, even from the people I love the most. It feels safer to hold my cards close to my chest, but it blocks my heart from opening.
I hate advice, I am stubborn and want things my own way. But I need some guidance on how to cut those cords.
During the circle tonight when we were to choose our fourth loved one my little cat Cleo jumped up on my shoulder and purred. She then laid on my chest on my heart and purred so loudly and long that she fell asleep and snored in my ear. It was very healing for sure. As I type this she is back on my shoulder and purring in my ear. I think she is part parrot.
I’ve been laid off twice this year and have been feeling really depressed. However, I do have an opportunity coming that might be a great one for me. Also, my partner and me are not seeing eye to eye on what I did for my birthday today and it’s been stressful and tense and I don’t know what to do to make things better. It’s been a rough couple of weeks for me!

GhandiGirl, I struggle with this and have most of my life. I have friends in my life who have done nothing but hurt me time and time again but I always let them back in because I'm that type of person.
I have family members that suck the energy from me and the room anytime they enter, and I always welcome them back in because I'm that type of person.
When a bad situation arises, even if it's not life or death, I spiral out of control. Look no farther than my post about my boss last spring in the energetic healing thread.
Identify those things that are causing the hurt and remove them from your life one at a time. If they're people - let them know that they are loved and you'll be here for them, but that you need more positive energy in your life and you can't take on their energy right now. Give them some time and space.
Be more open with the ones you love about the need for that positive energy. One of the hardest conversations I had with my wife happened in 2021 when I finally vocalized what I'd been struggling with my entire life - my anxiety and depression. We talked it out. We talked about me seeing my doctor for advice. And when I denied all prescription meds (fun story: one thing would have treated my depression but given me explosive diarrhea as a common side effect. Another caused black hair to grow on people's tongues in 2% of patients. Another still could cause violent mood swings!) to go the "edible" route we had to talk about all that too. What I'm saying here is I kept those cards close to my chest for a long time and opening up...first to my wife, then to my family, and then to my wider friend group was one of the best things I'd ever done because so many of them were walking similar paths and many of them helped me move forward.
And if you ever need or want to just talk it out with a stranger, Jeanne has my e-mail address and I'll happily text or Zoom with you!
Light and love my friend. Light and love.
@leebee These are hard things to grapple with but the uncertainty about the new opportunity is a good omen. If you don't get that opportunity it's proof there are still opportunities on the horizon. I will send some light your way for patience and peace!
So the pain has been pretty well controlled, and there were only two little spots on the right side of my chest that were still a little sensitive to touch, so I thought I could just take Motrin to help that and stop the other two. So I did. Four hours after I should have taken the regular dose, my back started spasming, so I thought I would just wait until time for the next dose and start taking everything again. Cool, right?
Then I coughed.
Holy mother of god, I thought I was going to die. I immediately took the missed dose, but now I have personal experience in why doctors tell you to stay ahead of the pain. I'm going to lie down now. I'll see how I feel in the morning as to whether I make another run to urgent care.
Hi All,
My MRI was postponed a day due to a problem with the machine at the original radiology clinic, and I had to go to a bigger facility with a newer machine and then went through the MRI with thankful ease. I am very grateful that claustrophobia does NOT cause me any problems. I just close my eyes and zone out. I am infinitely grateful for that.
Thank you everyone for the ENERGY! There is no time on the other side so it all came to me as needed.
@ghandigirl Thank you! Also I have some thoughts on cord cutting and will put them in the other thread.
@journeywithme2 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Love my forum Libra Sister! My "GoodGrief" birth sister, noted in the other post, is ALSO a Libra Oct 8 😀
@tgraf66 I wonder about it being a muscle. I already have lots of "opportunities" (HA!!) with the sciatic nerve and my legs. I have been working with music regarding the Vagus nerve, thinking that might me involved. My medical clinic is Osteopaths, I have gone to osteopaths for decades. My NP, however, is not an osteo (albeit married to one of the clinic's osteos) and she sends me for expert opinions when something comes up that requires more than her direct knowledge. I look at being sent to the bigger radiology clinic as a result of my requesting/invoking Archangel Raphael, although it took me a full day to get over frustration and realize that going to the bigger (hospital-site) facility gave me a more state-of-art MRI machine. The nearer, smaller clinic had a much older machine and their tech was unexpectedly out. Blessings come in many ways. I'm glad I recognized it as a blessing! I have tended to be grumpy lately 🤣
@ElaineG Wow, that sounds painful! I live alone so no one to pull my arm back and hmmm, not my preferred treatment 😀 that said, no I do not want surgery but have maybe not been doing enough at-home PT to strengthen the arm my NP was so worried about.
After a lot of googling and looking at anatomy graphics, I just don't know if it might be a rotator cuff tear or not. Most of the movements that indicate R-C I can do, with minimal or no pain but the pain is up there and then all down my left arm, when laying flat, so I will let the machine express an opinion before I do much more 😉
I am also to see an orthopedic surgeon if necessary, but this man is the doctor who was so kind and marvelous with my husband ten years ago when a tumor we knew nothing about, broke his arm. That was the first we knew he even had a vascular tumor. He was a jazz drummer and he just thought the pain he had had was from drumming. I have come to believe it was all from his tour in 'Nam, and agent orange. Slow growing and invisible until it caused the break. The arm tumor was, of course, inoperable. But the arm break was able to be mended. This surgeon was fantastic, so I will go to him depending on what the MRI shows.
I should have access to the medical portal later today, so then I'll know what paths I have ahead of me.
Again, thanks to every one for the Energy. It was deeply felt and gratefully appreciated.
Blessings ❤️
I guess it is the same thread, (duh) but cutting cords can be a marvelous meditation. The link @journeywithme2 sent you is terrific. What I have to share is more of a metaphysical cutting. We have cords from anyone, not just our birth families.
Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael are wonderful helps in cutting etheric cords. Even positive cords should be cut now and again, like cutting back beautiful bushes to help them blossom.
Here's what I have done over the years.
Sit in a comfortable position and put etheric protection around you... Christ Light, Buddha Light, I often see protection as similar to the lovely sphere Glenda the Good wafts down to Dorothy in...but whatever works for you. Protection during any meditation, any readings, however, is always important because it keeps not-as-positive energies blocked from interfering with the meditation.
One way is to ask Arch.Michael to use his Sword and gently swipe around you. I never really liked that visual, as much as I love Arch.Michael and call on him daily. So what I was given was scissors created from his Sword and to cut cords individually. These work really well for each person.
Everyone we interact with sends out an etheric cord. If there is no further contact or the contact is minimal and benign, the cords kind of transmute and dissolve, but when it family, or super close friend or work friend that turns negative in some way clip each cord one-by-one. (Tooo much advice/constant cloying care can be just as problematic as directly negative vibes, I think anyway!) I tend to visualize the negative cords as coarse dark rope and positive cords as beautiful color-full ribbons linking me to positive and loving friends and family. Michael's Sword is blue but the scissors I received were golden, with a little blue stone at the x. I would think about the person whose cords I wished to cut and then see myself cutting that cord from the solar plexus, or wherever it was hooked in, and then the detached cord would dissolve away from me. I always blessed the person as I cut the cord because there is no point in sending out negative cords of my own to follow the ones I cut. The thing about cords is that they are always happening. If you meet someone on the street who smiles joyously at you just because they are a joyous person, that is a cord—but a positive one. That cord will simply dissolve on its own if it is not given any further power, and if it is a particularly joyful and positive cord it will stay with you a bit and give aid and blessings to you while it is with you. In the same way, a negative vibe from a stranger can set a negative cord, but they tend to try and hang in, so if I am aware of that kind of thing I quickly think it as being blocked from attaching or I do a quick cut with the golden scissors immediately, and then once home, do a more proper job of it, in a quiet meditation.
Energy is energy, it is neither good nor evil in and of itself, it is how we send it and how we receive it (how we use it) that makes a difference. Based on what you said in your post, it would be helpful if you put up that sphere of Glenda-the-Good-like-Sphere around your house as well as yourself and that would mitigate the power of the family/whoever negativity. As an artist, you are particularly vulnerable because creativity draws energy to itself, and if the negatives are from family, cords can be particularly insidious in finding ways in to attach. Make "clearing" the cords a quick morning and evening ritual...not a big involved meditation, but really, even just a thought can be powerful and protective. Something like, "Thank you Spirit (or whatever entity you call on) for protecting me with your loving energy and Light, from these harmful energies and negative cords." Below is a more involved prayer I often use and which has helped me through many a negative encounter.
Prayer for Deleting Negative / Mis-qualified Energies / Thoughtforms / Entities
Father/Mother God *(or whatever Names you use) send whatever help is necessary in whatever form is necessary to take this energy HERE AND NOW to its right place in the universe. All cords and all connections are NOW cut. The void left by this eradication is joyfully filled with Light, Love, and Divine Guidance, Right Action, *(any other adjectives you wish to fit in!) THE DOOR IS SEALED. That which I send away is met by the Light and taken to its proper place in the universe. Amen and Amen.
I hope this helps some.
Blessings ❤️
@tesseract I love that your prayer sends energy "to its right place in the universe." It is so acknowledging of all energy/thoughts/things as having a right to be, but at the same time they are not appropriate for you.
Thanks for describing your practice of cord-cutting, it's very helpful and easy. You've got me intrigued about it as a daily practice!
I’d like to ask for prayers for Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize today, and the other women and men who are wrongfully imprisoned with her.
I had a vision today of them finding out the news of the Peace Prize inside the prison and their joy for Narges. I’ve been haunted by this all day, that someone could find such joy and purpose under those circumstances.
As the situation currently stands, it seems like the Iranian regime will never be toppled, but then I remember how many of you have seen the feminine energy (not the same as male and female gender) rising, so perhaps it will sweep away even this severe manifestation of the patriarchy.
You are very welcome! I love sharing that prayer, it has helped me through many a difficult time. ❤️

Narges Mohammadi's family has updated her Instagram account after getting the chance to speak with her by phone. Here is what she told them:
"Yesterday was one of the best and most glorious days in prison for all of us. The women's ward was filled with happiness, singing, and the chant 'Women, Life, Freedom.' When we sang the anthems 'For' and 'Take Off Your Scarf,' some of our fellow inmates were in tears. Mahsa Amini's name, 'Jina,' echoed through the ward. We all held hands and formed a big circle, and as we sang, 'Hand in hand, we become a sea, a storm, a roar,' we felt united."
I get chills reading these words.
That prayer is unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you to all who responded.
I am told to cut the cords and send love. Mostly the cords are about my ex husband and daughter. So many negative hurtful things and interpretations. So many tears and so much grief. Even more so, cords feel tangled from myself to me.
I realize I must forgive as I wish to be forgiven, and forgive myself. I cannot move on properly yet, I slide back into self reproach and can berate myself for things I can't seem to change but I am working on it.
Whitney Houston is right. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.
I am so glad you love the prayer! I can't take credit for writing it, but I have used it for nearly 30 years. The author, MaryAnn Ponder Brady, taught a process called "Clearings" back in the day, and in the late 80s my husband and I drove from Tucson to Boulder, Colorado to experience the process. This prayer is from that Clearing Process.
I do have one other suggestion for you, as you work through these difficult emotional memories and heart-hurts. When I am simply unable to send love/forgiveness to someone I call on Spirit, who can always love and forgive. I generally ask Kuan Yin and Mary (I call them the Nurturing Ladies) to send love and forgiveness for me, because they are evolved enough to do so when I simply can not find the love within to send. The Archangels, the Ascended Master Healers and Teachers of Light, can all, and Will All, send love and forgiveness to whomever you request.
Frankly this is how I deal with world politics as well. I am unable to forgive the orange one or 15trysKev or rPaul or Turbotank any of the other negative/evil beings and their followers who wreak havoc upon the earth. Who, as I type, are raining destruction and pain, even more, upon the peoples of earth. I am not one to wish end of life to anyone, because to me that is out of my purview, but neither am I able in and of myself to send love, nor forgive on that scale. I am simply not evolved enough to do so. Therefore, I ask Immanuel, Mary, Kuan Yin, Nichirin di Shonen Buddha or Gautama Buddha, even Joseph (he accepted what Mary and Spirit told him) because they ARE evolved enough to forgive for me. So I send love, and joy and thankfulness to them, and they send my love through them to the baddies, the lost to light, the evil-drenched ones—the same ones on the TV that I yell at—incensed and angry. Spirit can do this because Love is Love. THEY, Spirit, ARE LOVE. If I can love any of those Evolved Beings, I can love through them as well. It doesn't mean I ignore my responsibility to learn to love/forgive those who have personally hurt me or the fractured souls who do evil to the Collective. It doesn't mean I should ignore or refuse to find a path to that level of evolvement, but it does mean I can trust Spirit in the meantime (by whatever Name brings comfort to me) to transmute my pain, cleanse it, and add it in to their infinite and unconditional Love, the unconditional Love of the Creator of ALL. Do I want those evil ones punished, removed, immobilized? Well, yes, like I said, I am not evolved enough to love or forgive them. I AM evolved enough to trust Spirit — in all its Names and Formations.
Trust Spirit to take on your pain, to transmute it, and through that process, give/receive for yourself the infinite LOVE they have for you, even as they take your not-able-to-forgive-and-love and transmute it for you.
It is OK to SCREAM, to YELL, to be ANGRY about it all, whatever IT is, World or Personal. It is OK to not be evolved enough to straight out forgive or love those who have harmed you—or our precious earth and its peoples. It IS OK to get the ugly out of the body by crying, yelling etc.
It is OK to be who you are now, as you send the negatives, the hate, the pain, the fear, and the sense of impenetrable loss to Those who CAN Love Unconditionally beyond our fathoming.
It is OK to be YOU, because you ARE Loved!!!
Blessings ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful wisdom. I think any of us can try this approach when we are at a loss to send love to someone but understand the importance of that act. I always enjoy reading your thoughts.
