Anyone working with other people either professionally or by offering unpaid acts of kindness should know about etheric cords and how to handle them.

Basically, whenever a person forms a fear-based attachment to you (such as being afraid that you'll leave them, or believing that you are their source of energy or happiness), a cord is constructed between the two of you . This cord is visible to anyone who is clairvoyant, and palpable to anyone who is intuitive.

The cords look like surgical tubing, and they function like gasoline hoses. When a needy person has formed an attachment to you , that person suctions energy from you through this etheric cord. You may not see the cord, but you can feel its effects; namely you feel tired or sad without knowing why. Well, it is because the person at the other end of the etheric cord has just drawn on your energy, or has just sent you a toxic energy through the cord.

The chakras often have "etheric cords" protruding from them. These cords, which look like surgical tubing, extend to chakras in other people with whom we've had relationships. Etheric cords most commonly extend to our siblings, followed by (in descending order of what is most commonly found) our father, mother, ex-spouse, ex-lovers, current spouse or lover, our house, children, and close friends.

Fear within our relationships forms these cords. The fear may be characterized as co-dependency, attachments, fear of abandonment, or unforgiveness. Etheric cords act like hoses, with energy directed back and forth between both people. Therein lies the problem with having them. If the person to whom you are attached is having a life challenge, that person will siphon energy from you. He or she will draw upon your energy supply through the etheric cord. You will then feel drained, without knowing why. Very often, the people you have had sexual relationships with are attached to your sacral chakra.

The people with whom you've experienced conflict are attached to your solar plexus. Those who you grieve over are attached to your heart chakra. Those with whom you've had painful relationships, or relationships where you carried all the weight, are attached to your shoulders. This is, in my experience, the root cause of shoulder and neck pain. When we are attached to our home or geographical locations, etheric cords extend from the bottom of our feet into the ground.


Cutting cords doesn't mean, "I don't love you or care about you anymore." Cord cutting doesn't necessarily lead to break-ups or abandoned relationships. It simply means that you are releasing the dysfunctional parts of your relationships. Remember, fear is the opposite of love, and etheric cords (and all attachments) are created from fear.

So anytime you have helped someone; or whenever you feel lethargic ,sad or tired, it's a good idea to "cut your cords". You aren't rejecting , abandoning or divorcing the person by cutting these cords. You're only cutting the dysfunctional, fearful, codependent part of the relationship. The loving part of the relationship remains attached.

To cut your own cords, say audibly or silently :

"Archangel Michael, I call upon you now.
Please cut the cords of fear that are draining my energy and vitality. Thank you"



Remember , you are not their source of energy or happiness—God is.The cords will grow back each time a person forms a fear-based attachment to you .So keep cutting your cords as needed.

KHEM'S NOTE:


Well selected and programmed crystals can assist us in preventing that from happening. Crystals like Labradorite, Amethyst ,Black tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Black Onyx and Black Obsidian, just to name a few, are highly helpful for that purpose. We all know that:

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

therefore by wearing some of them constantly and keeping our thoughts in the right direction by active right thinking, we are automatically shielded against any attempts of wrong use of the etheric cords towards ourselves or from us towards others.

THE BIBLE:ALL THE PSALMS ; ESPECIALLY THE 3 BELOW:

PSALM 23


PSALM 37


PSALM 91



However, we are also aware that all the above mentioned are nothing but "stepping stones" to something higher;

a firm conviction of the Divine Presence

The safest way to protect ourselves is to maintain a strong aura.
As you are probably already aware of, to strengthen our aura, we should have a healthy spiritual hygiene of daily cleansing of negative emotions, daily increasing of our light, live to the highest we know how and endlessly feed ourselves with Beauty.

In short: to accept nothing but Divine Love to reign in our lives, with all the responsibilities it implies…



"Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge
even the Most High, thy habitation
there shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him"

PSALM 91


FOREVER IN GROWTH…

Protection is a part of many approaches to the psychic/mediumship abilities.  Making them cords tends to give them a life beyond the mental attachments.

IME the first step is...TAKE CHARGE! for anyone seeking psychic development.

Very true! The first step is to recognise that you are the creator and everything else will follow...
