What Is Cord Cutting? An Integrative Perspective
Understanding cords, why they matter, and how release creates freedom
Understanding Energy and Connection
Before talking about cord cutting, it helps to start with the basics of energy. Everything is energy. Every interaction, thought, and relationship carries a vibration. When we connect with others, we exchange more than words. We share emotion, presence, and subtle energetic imprints.
Over time, these exchanges form what many practitioners call “cords.” They are like invisible threads that link us to people, experiences, and even old versions of ourselves. Some cords feel supportive, like the natural bonds we have with loved ones. Others feel heavy, especially if they are tied to unresolved patterns, unmet needs, or relationships that take more from us than they give.
What Is Cord Cutting?
Cord cutting is an energy healing practice used to release unhealthy attachments that drain or limit you. It does not mean ending relationships or cutting people out of your life. Instead, it clears the energetic weight of patterns, emotions, or dynamics that are no longer helpful.
You can continue caring about someone while letting go of the parts of the connection that feel heavy or unbalanced. This work helps you honor your past while keeping your energy rooted in the present.
An Integrative Energy Healing Perspective
As an integrative energy healing practitioner, I see cord cutting as one of many tools that support balance and well-being. In my work, I combine Reiki, Seichem, and the Akashic Records to create a safe and supportive space for this release.
Clients often describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves afterward. Sometimes the shift is immediate, with a new perspective or sense of relief. Other times the release unfolds gradually, creating space for healthier boundaries and insights to emerge.
Why Cord Cutting Matters
If you’re feeling stuck, weighed down, or unable to move forward, there may be cords pulling on your energy. These connections can leave you feeling:
Drained after certain interactions
Stuck replaying old conversations or memories
Unable to fully release a past relationship or experience
Disconnected from the present moment
Cord cutting helps bring your energy back to you. It gives you the chance to release what no longer belongs, so you can move forward with more clarity, balance, and ease.
This work is about:
Honoring your own energy
Reclaiming what belongs to you
Opening space for peace, clarity, and growth
If you recognize yourself in these patterns, cord cutting may be the support you have been looking for.
Cord cutting is not about letting go of people. It is about letting go of what weighs you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need cord cutting?
You may benefit if you feel drained after interacting with someone, if you keep replaying old experiences, or if you sense that parts of your energy are still tied to a past relationship or situation.
What happens in a session?
We start with a grounding check-in, then move into energy work using Reiki, Seichem, and the Akashic Records. You are guided to release the cords that are no longer serving you in a safe, supported way. Each session includes notes and practices to help you integrate the experience.
Will I lose my connection with someone I care about?
No. Cord cutting does not erase love or healthy bonds. It only clears the parts of a connection that are unhealthy, draining, or no longer aligned.
What will I feel afterward?
Every person is different. Some feel lighter and more at peace right away. Others notice subtle shifts in the days that follow, such as more clarity, calmer emotions, or stronger boundaries.
Journal Prompt
Take a moment to reflect on the connections in your life. Which ones feel supportive, and which feel heavy or draining? Imagine placing the weight of the heavier cords down. What might open up for you if you no longer carried them?
