Reclaim Your Power: A Healing Guide to Cutting Energetic Cords from Narcissistic Relationships

Welcome, beautiful soul, to a sacred space of healing and transformation. If you have found your way here, it is likely you are on a courageous journey of recovery from a narcissistic relationship. I am Kathleen, and I am honored to guide you through one of the most powerful practices for release and empowerment: cutting the energetic cords that keep you tied to a painful past.

Narcissistic relationships, by their very nature, are designed to create a deep and damaging dependency. They leave behind more than just memories; they create invisible, energetic cords that can continue to drain your life force, cloud your thoughts, and keep you tethered to unhealthy and toxic dynamics long after the relationship has ended.

Today, we will embark on a sacred act of self-love. We will gently but powerfully sever these cords, allowing you to finally and fully reclaim your energy, your power, and your peace. It is crucial to understand that this act is not one of aggression or harm. You are not cutting the person; you are cutting the unhealthy energetic tie that binds you. In doing so, you are freeing yourself to become the whole, radiant, and peaceful being you were always meant to be.

The Invisible Chains: Understanding Energetic Cords in Narcissistic Relationships

To fully appreciate the power of cord-cutting, we must first understand what we are releasing. A narcissistic relationship is characterized by a severe imbalance of power, where one person’s needs dominate and the other’s are systematically denied. The narcissist, often described as an “energy vampire,” feeds on the empathy, attention, and life force of their partner to sustain their fragile sense of self.

This dynamic creates powerful, deeply entrenched energetic cords.

Think of these cords as invisible channels that extend from your energy field (your aura) to the other person’s. In healthy, reciprocal relationships, these cords facilitate a balanced exchange of love and support. However, in a narcissistic relationship, these cords become one-way streets. They are conduits through which your precious energy—your love, your focus, your vitality—is siphoned away, leaving you feeling perpetually exhausted, confused, and depleted.

You may be dealing with negative energetic cords if you experience:

Chronic Fatigue: A persistent feeling of being drained, no matter how much you rest.
Obsessive Thoughts: Finding it impossible to stop thinking about the person, replaying conversations and scenarios over and over.
Emotional Turmoil: Feeling emotionally stuck, unable to move on, and experiencing recurring feelings of sadness, anger, or anxiety related to the relationship.
Loss of Self: A diminished sense of your own identity, desires, and intuition.
Feeling “Stuck”: An inability to attract new, healthy relationships or opportunities into your life, as if you are still energetically tethered to the past.

These cords are the invisible chains that keep you bound to the trauma. Cutting them is an essential step in reclaiming your sovereignty and healing your spirit.

The Sacred Act of Cutting Cords: A Journey of Self-Reclamation

Cord-cutting is a powerful, intention-driven visualization practice. It is a ritual where you consciously decide to sever the unhealthy energetic attachments that no longer serve you. It is a declaration to the universe, and to yourself, that you are choosing freedom.

What Cord-Cutting Is Not: It is not an act of violence, revenge, or wishing harm upon the other person. True healing comes from a place of compassion, even for those who have hurt us. When you cut the cord, you are releasing them with love, freeing both of you from a toxic energetic entanglement.

The Transformative Benefits of Cutting Cords:

Reclaiming Your Energy: You will immediately begin to feel your life force returning, leading to increased vitality and stamina.
Gaining Mental Clarity: The obsessive thoughts will begin to quiet, allowing you to focus on your own life and future.
Emotional Freedom: You create the space necessary to process and release old emotions, finally allowing yourself to heal and move forward.
Restoring Personal Power: You take back control of your energy and your life, affirming that you are the sole authority in your own being.
Making Space for Healthy Love: By clearing out old, toxic connections, you open the door for new, healthy, and loving relationships to enter your life.

Preparing for Your Healing Ritual: A Step-by-Step Guide

To ensure this process is as powerful and effective as possible, it is essential to prepare your space, your body, and your mind.

Step 1: Create Your Sanctuary

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can be completely alone and undisturbed for at least 20-30 minutes. This is your sacred time for healing. Whether you choose to sit in a chair with your feet on the floor or lie down, allow your body to settle and feel fully supported.

Step 2: Set a Powerful Intention

Your intention is the guiding force of this entire ritual. It is the arrow you are aiming toward freedom. Take a moment to connect with your deepest desire for healing. You can use the following intention or create one that resonates with you. Say it silently or aloud to yourself:

“I choose to cut all cords of unhealthy attachment and reclaim my energy, peace, and power. I release all that no longer serves my highest good.”

Once you have stated your intention, let it go. Trust that the universe has heard you and is conspiring to support you.

Step 3: Deep Physical Relaxation

Close your eyes gently and bring your awareness inward. Allow your body to begin to soften and relax.

Conscious Breathing: Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, allowing your belly to expand fully. Hold it for a comfortable moment. Then, exhale completely through your mouth with a gentle sigh, releasing all tension. Repeat this two more times, feeling your body grow heavier and more relaxed with each exhale.
Relax Your Jaw: Bring your awareness to your jaw, a common place we hold stress. Consciously allow it to soften and relax. Let the muscles melt away from your teeth and feel the tension dissolve.
Position Your Tongue: Gently place your tongue so it rests naturally at the back of your mouth. This simple shift helps to quiet the mind and signal to your body that it is time to enter a deeper state of calm.

Step 4: Journey into Deep Relaxation

To enter the ideal state for this energy work, we will use a visualization to deepen your relaxation. Imagine yourself standing at the top of a gentle, ten-step staircase. This staircase leads down into a profound state of peace and clarity. With each number I count backward from 10 to 1, imagine yourself taking one step down, allowing yourself to relax more and more deeply.

10… Stepping down, feeling your body becoming heavier, more relaxed.

9… Sinking deeper into comfort and stillness.

8… Your mind becomes quieter, more at peace.

7… Letting go of all resistance.

6… Deeper and deeper still.

5… Feel all worries and fears just floating away.

4… Surrendering fully to this peaceful state.

3… More and more deeply relaxed.

2… Open and ready for this healing journey.

1… You are now fully immersed in a deep, tranquil state, ready to begin.

The Cord-Cutting Ritual: Freeing Yourself with Love

Now that you are in a deep state of relaxation, it is time to ground your energy and perform the sacred act of cord-cutting.

Part 1: Grounding and Creating Your Pillar of Light

Before we work with energy, we must be grounded and protected.

Grounding with Gaia: Visualize a beautiful, vibrant, ruby-red root extending from the base of your spine. See and feel it traveling deep down through the earth, anchoring securely into the loving heart of Gaia, our Mother Earth. Feel her nurturing energy flowing up through this root, filling your body with warmth, strength, and unwavering stability. You are fully grounded and supported.
Creating Your Pillar of Light: Now, envision a radiant pillar of pure, loving, and protective light descending from the heavens above your head. Allow it to flow down through the top of your head, filling you with divine energy and wisdom. See it merge in your heart space with Gaia’s energy. As you breathe in, feel this combined energy creating a pillar of light extending up to Source. As you breathe out, feel it swirling down into Gaia. This pillar grows stronger with each breath, surrounding you in a cocoon of safety and love, shielding you from all dense or dark energy.

Part 2: The Sacred Act of Severing the Cords

You are now grounded, protected, and ready to release what no longer serves you.

Enter Your Sacred Space: Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, sacred space. This could be a lush forest, a serene beach at sunset, or a glowing crystal temple—whatever feels most safe and comforting to you.
Visualize the Connection: In front of you, you notice a glowing, translucent figure. This figure represents the person with whom you need to cut cords. It is not threatening; it simply represents the energetic attachment you are ready to release. Now, take a deep breath and scan your own body from head to toe. Notice any areas where you feel heavy, tense, achy, or stuck. These sensations may indicate where energetic cords are attached. You may even see, sense, or feel the cords extending from these points on your body to the figure before you.
State Your Intention to Release: With compassion in your heart and strength in your voice, say silently or out loud: “I choose to release these cords. They no longer serve me. I reclaim my energy with love and peace.”
Cut the Cords: Imagine a glowing tool appearing in your hands. This could be a golden sword of truth, a powerful beam of light from your fingers, or a pair of shimmering silver scissors. Whatever feels most powerful and right for you. With unwavering intention, gently and deliberately begin to cut each cord you see or sense. With each cut, watch the cord dissolve instantly into sparkling light, disappearing completely. Feel the immediate sense of lightness and freedom that washes over you as each cord is released. If you feel any resistance or emotion, breathe into it and remind yourself that you are safe, you are in control, and you are freeing yourself with love.
Release and Reclaim: Once the last cord is cut, take a deep, cleansing breath. Look at the figure before you and say, silently or out loud: “I release you with love and compassion. I am free, and I reclaim my energy and power.” Watch as the figure gently fades away, dissolving into light.

Part 3: Healing and Sealing Your Energy

Now that you have freed yourself, it is time to heal the spaces where the cords were attached and seal your energy field.

The Golden Healing Light: Visualize a soft, warm, golden light surrounding your entire body. This is the light of pure healing and unconditional love. Feel it sealing your energy field, protecting you from any further attachments that do not serve your highest good. Feel this golden light saturating every cell of your body, restoring your energy, replenishing your strength, and filling you with a profound sense of wholeness.
Empowering Affirmations: To anchor this healing into your being, repeat the following affirmations, feeling their truth resonate deep within your soul:
- “I release all cords and attachments that no longer serve me.”
- “I reclaim my energy and power with love and peace.”
- “I am free, whole, and radiant.”
- “I invite healthy, loving, and respectful relationships into my life.”

Returning to Wholeness

Now, let’s begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment, carrying this newfound freedom with you. I will count up from 1 to 5.

1… Beginning to return, feeling the renewed energy circulating in your body.

2… Becoming more aware of your physical surroundings.

3… Feeling refreshed, empowered, and profoundly energized.

4… Almost fully awake, bringing with you the deep peace and freedom you have cultivated.

5… Fully awake now. Open your eyes. Feel how light, strong, and completely free you are.

Thank you for embarking on this sacred journey of cord-cutting and healing. Remember, you are a powerful, radiant being who is deserving of love, respect, and peace. By releasing these cords, you have taken a monumental step toward reclaiming your energy and living a life that is in beautiful alignment with your highest self. You are free.
