Reclaiming Your Energy from Spiritual Parasites: Cord Cutting
In the unseen world of energy, every interaction we have—whether through love, intimacy, conflict, or even obsession—leaves an imprint. These imprints can develop into energetic cords, invisible strands of energy that tether us to people, places, or situations. Cords form through intense emotional exchanges, whether positive or negative. Love, hate, admiration, envy, lust, and trauma all create strong energetic links. The more energy exchanged, the stronger the cord. These connections can be healthy when formed in mutual love, but when someone is feeding off your energy or attaching out of fear, jealousy, or neediness, the cord becomes a drain rather than a connection.
These cords can linger long after the relationship or interaction has ended, allowing the other person to still pull on your energy—even from a distance. For example, if you've ever had random thoughts about someone you haven't spoken to in years, it’s likely the cord still exists, and they are either thinking about you or feeding off your energy. This is why cord cutting is necessary, especially if you are feeling off, energetically heavy, or experiencing blockages in your manifestations. You can also take on the karmic debts or blockages of the people you are connected to.
Why Cord Cutting is Essential
Certain individuals intentionally or unconsciously tap into your energy field to harvest your power. Some people thrive by feeding off the energy of others. If you’re naturally magnetic, intuitive, or spiritually gifted, you might have been a target for energy vampires—people who unconsciously (or intentionally) attach to your field to drain your essence.
Energetic cords can also linger from past relationships, old friends, or even online interactions, allowing those people to continue pulling on your energy. This is why regular cord cutting is necessary, especially if you’re feeling off or energetically heavy.
If you don’t cut cords, you are allowing energy thieves to siphon your power. This can manifest in ways that affect your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Some of the most dangerous consequences include:
1. Chronic Energy Drain (Feeling Tired for No Reason)
One of the most obvious signs of an active energy cord is chronic exhaustion. If someone is pulling on your energy field, you might feel constantly drained, no matter how much rest you get. This happens because their energy is feeding off yours, leaving you weak, foggy, and depleted.
You wake up feeling exhausted even after sleeping.
You feel random fatigue when thinking about a certain person.
You have low motivation and struggle to focus on your goals.
This is especially true if the person connected to you is negative, depressed, or chaotic, as their emotional state can weigh on you.
2. Emotional Manipulation & Mood Swings
When an energy cord is still attached, the other person’s emotions can influence you. This can cause mood swings, sudden sadness, anxiety, or irrational anger—even if you haven't spoken to them in months or years.
You feel an unexplainable wave of sadness, longing, or nostalgia connected to a specific person.
You feel random anxiety or guilt when trying to move on.
You get sudden intrusive thoughts about an ex, friend, or toxic person.
If the person is intentionally energy harvesting, they might be sending psychic attacks, intrusive thoughts, or emotional manipulation to make you feel drawn back to them.
3. Blockages in Love, Money, and Manifestation
Uncut cords can block your blessings by keeping your energy trapped in the past.
Love – If you still have energetic cords to an ex, it can prevent new relationships from fully manifesting. You might keep attracting the same toxic patterns because your aura is still energetically tied to old cycles.
Money – If someone is energetically draining you, it can create a scarcity block, making it harder for you to attract abundance. You might feel like opportunities slip away, or you can’t seem to make progress financially.
Spiritual Growth – Cords can block your intuition, making you feel disconnected from your higher self. If you feel cloudy, confused, or stuck, it’s often because external energy is pulling you in too many directions.
4. Physical Symptoms & Sickness
When your energy field is compromised, it can start manifesting as physical symptoms. Spiritual parasites and energy vampires can cause:
Headaches and migraines
Unexplained body aches or heaviness
Digestive issues (energy stored in the gut chakra)
Weakened immune system
Feeling like you’re carrying an unseen weight
This is why regular spiritual hygiene, including cord cutting, is just as important as physical hygiene.
5. Psychic Attacks & Energy Vampirism
If someone is intentionally using your energy, they might be engaging in psychic vampirism. This can happen in relationships where someone:
Constantly wants your energy, attention, or validation.
Drains you emotionally but never uplifts you.
Feels entitled to your time, energy, or support.
Becomes obsessed with your life and mimics your energy.
Some people may even subconsciously or consciously use spiritual practices to keep an energetic hold on you, whether through thoughts, dreams, or rituals.
If you've ever randomly thought about an ex right before they text you, that’s an example of a lingering energetic cord allowing them access to your aura.
Simple Cord Cutting Ritual
Use this ritual whenever you feel energetically entangled with someone, or as part of your regular spiritual maintenance. You do not need any tools — just your mind.
Steps:
1. Find a Quiet Space & Breathe
Sit or lie down comfortably.
Take three deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
As you breathe, imagine yourself becoming lighter, clearing your mind of distractions.
2. Scan Your Energy Field
Close your eyes and mentally scan your body.
Notice where you feel heavy, tense, or uncomfortable—this is likely where an energetic cord is attached.
3. Identify the Cord
Bring the person, memory, or situation to mind.
Where do you feel it in your body?
What does the cord look like? (It may be thick, thin, dark, glowing, etc.)
4. Declare Your Sovereignty
Say in your mind (or aloud):
“I reclaim my energy. I release all cords that do not serve my highest good. I am free.”
5. Visualize the Cord Detaching
Imagine a sharp light (like a blade or laser) slicing through the cord.
Feel it disconnecting and dissolving into the universe, leaving you untouched.
As it severs, visualize a golden light sealing the space where it was attached, protecting you from future reattachments.
6. Call Back Your Power
Say:
“I call back all of my energy, cleansed and restored.”Imagine a wave of golden energy rushing back into your body, filling you with warmth and strength.
7. Breathe & Release
Take a deep breath in, and on the exhale, release all remaining residue from the severed cord.
Feel lighter, clearer, and free.
Signs the Ritual Worked
After a successful cord cutting, you may:
Feel lighter and more at peace
Notice less intrusive thoughts about the person
Experience increased energy and motivation
See the person stop reaching out or fade from your life naturally
Energetic cords are not always severed in one session, especially if the attachment has been long-term, deeply emotional, or toxic. Some cords are woven into our subconscious over years—sometimes even lifetimes—meaning they require repetition, awareness, and reinforcement to fully dissolve. Just like emotional wounds, energetic cords have layers. The first time you do a cord-cutting ritual, you might sever the surface level connection, but deeper attachments could still be lurking underneath. Your emotions keep the cord alive, like an electrical current that recharges the connection each time you interact with it mentally or emotionally. The solution? Conscious detachment. Every time you notice yourself thinking about the person, gently redirect your mind. Some people—especially energy vampires, narcissists, or those who have deeply intertwined their energy with yours—will sense when you are detaching and try to reattach. This can manifest as things such as “random” check-ins after you've cut cords, unexplained dreams about them, a sudden craving for them, etc.
If this happens, repeat the cord-cutting ritual. Some attachments require multiple rounds over weeks or months before they fully release.
Even after a successful cord cutting, if you re-engage with the person emotionally, mentally, or physically, the cord can reattach. This is why boundary-setting is just as important as the ritual itself.
To keep the cord from reforming:
Limit or stop contact with the person (block them if needed).
Stop social media stalking (yes, even “just to check”).
Resist engaging in nostalgia or daydreaming about them.
Strengthen your energy field with daily grounding and protection work.
