Hi there. Thank you for joining me today In today's reiki session, we're going to be cutting some cords. This is going to be
an energy cord cutting ritual It's very much a deep deep cleanse that's
going to center you, release you from attachments that are draining you and this is relevant if you're trying to move on
from a relationship, from a toxic or abusive person This is relevant if you are trying to move
on from an environment, a place, situation and it's also relevant if you want to remove
beliefs that were never yours to begin with This is going to help you release those unhealthy
attachments and bring power back to yourself So if that sounds good to you, let's get right into it We're going to begin as always with a smoke
cleanse to clear the space, clear the air and this is going to help us jump start on this
process of cleansing. I'm going to be using palo santos. Everytime I use this, I feel tingles and
shivers around the back of my neck and along my spine. It's so incredible so I want you to take in
this moment as I light this up and just allow the clouds, the smoke to seep into your space, your
aura and allow it to pull around those blockages where you feel that tension, that attachment
that we're going to be working on And to take deep breaths so this can help
you release what is already to release Waving this around your aura All around. Allow the smoke to gather into the spaces where it's needed Then breathe deeply. Breathing in and exhale. Really let the energy move Breathing in Let the energy move. Breathe in Deep exhale Good I'm directing the smoke towards your neck and your chest, which is where we
often tend to feel the tension and I also... I'd like you to relax your jaw as well This is where we feel a lot of tension unknowingly Allow your limbs to relax Let the stagnant energy from your limbs
just flow through and out your fingertips Don't forget to breathe. Let's
take some deep breaths. Breathe in Deep exhale. Breathe into the chest.
Allow the chest to really expand and then let it all go, feel that energy move Good. One more time into the chest Exhale out of the mouth. Let it out. Really nice You're doing great so far Throughout the session, I'd like you to continue
to breathe like this. Breathe it deeply, intensely The breath is... In yoga we say it's the physical
manifestation of your prana, your energy and so by utilizing the breath, you can
really allow the prana to move the chi to flow through, unlocking any blockages along
the way, creating openings, opening up the knotties So take deep breaths and you can
even slow them down if you'd like That'll allow your mind to be more and
more calm, more and more soothed So we're here today because we want to cut some energy cords. I want to just
explain a little by what that means Energy cords are essentially attachments -
energetic, emotional and mental attachments that we have to people, to situations,
places, objects - it's very much possible and beliefs - beliefs that come from other people.
Thoughts and ideas that come from other people These are energy cords because they train you.
They are not you. This is when we extend parts of ourselves to the external reality, to parts
of the external reality that no longer serve us So we can feel draining because we're
holding on to these things that seem to just drift further and further away from us, from
our center when it really shouldn't be like that When we honour ourselves, we can choose to
not engage in this sort of power imbalance and I think a really easy way to
understand this is if you've ever been in a codependent relationship, where
there's this power dynamic and you've given so much of yourself to the other
person. That's not healthy and we do this in the same way we do this with so many
things in our physical external reality so today I invite you to think about those
things that you are attached to, that you're overexerting your energy into that are draining
you, that are pulling you in different directions I want you to think about these things. The first
ones that come to mind are going to be the easiest ones to release, so allow them to come to mind
now. You know what they are. What is draining you? What are you ready to just say no
to once and for all? With that said... I have a pair of scissors. This is going to help us with the visual representation of what is
happening. The way I like to visualize it is I think of a rubber band, a rubber
band that you may find in grocery stores I live in north America so we have these blue
rubber bands that we wrap around vegetables and when you pull them, you feel that resistance
and in my mind, it's like the other person or situation, thing is pulling at the other end
and they just keep pulling and you can see that the rubber band is thinning, it's getting white.
It's not blue anymore and they just keep pulling and this is causing resistance, it's draining you,
it's tiring you out and you need to let go of this and so I'm going to use spare
scissors to cut right through these rubber bands and what happens is, right away,
right when I cut through, you'll feel this jolt as this energy rushes back into your body
and you're back to yourself and whatever was draining you, that was not you, has gone away
has dissolved so you may feel tingles as this energy dissolves and releases from your body. Okay.
So that imagery works for you, think about these rubber bands. Just think of them stretching in
all directions. You're in your center and these rubber bands are stretching in all directions
against your center and now I'm going to cut them Just feeling for those cords now I'm going to cut it. Feel the rubber band
snatch back into place. Come back to yourself and whatever that was not yours
is dissolving and being released Feel the resistance, the pull of this rubber band
of this energy cord and now I'm going to cut it and the rest dissolves coming back to yourself And keep going. Whatever comes to
mind, if you are ready, let it go Let it dissolve. Come back to yourself And even if you can't think of anything, just feel
into the resistance that's in your energetic body Feel into the resistance that's in your body Really good Feel that resistance and now let it go Once the cord has been cut, just take a
deep exhale. That's really going to help So feel the string, the resistance, the pull. Deep
breath in. Now I'm going to cut it and exhale Good and another one. Deep breath in and exhale Pulling on it. Deep breath in. Now exhale Maybe there's a really stubborn one, a big big rubber band. I'm just sensing it over here. I'm
going to feel into it. It's a big rubber band I'm going to cut through it. Take
a deep breath so that you're ready Let's cut through it and feel the fan snap back into place. Go back
to you and I'm just gonna let this one go It's dissolving, it's being released.
Take another deep breath in and let it go. Good If you're finding it particularly difficult
to let go of one specific attachment because there may be a reason you're
here - there's a big attachment that's hard and I get that. Maybe it was a
really powerful connection in the past so I want you to let that come to mind
now and I'm gonna help you through it I know it's a big attachment. It's
really draining you currently I want you to just know that by
doing this, you are honouring yourself and therefore honouring the other
person or the other situation, thing You're doing yourself a huge favour This is going to really propel you forward and there may be more things to process
in the future but this is the first step It's you choosing to process this, come
back to your power and do what's right So now if you're ready, think
about this immense energy cord that you're feeling tied to Now see it as this long, thick rubber band This rubber band that's right over here Feel into the resistance. There's this
strong resistance that feels like pain, suffering, physical discomfort, emotional
discomfort. Feel into that right now Now observe this energy cord that I'm
holding on to. I have my scissors and now take a deep breath in. You're ready
to overcome this. I'll cut through it and now exhale. Just let it go. Letting it
dissolve or letting it release, go back to where it's needed and if that wasn't enough, let's try again. Deep breath in. Feel into the attachment,
the pain, discomfort and now exhale, let it go. Feel the rubber band
snap into place, snap back into place You're coming back into your
power and the rest has dissolved Now third time's the charm, so let's do it one
more time. I'm gonna pull this chord, help you feel into it. This is the chord that
we're working on, this chord right here Feel into that resistance, feel into
the cord, the energy. Now breathe in and exhale You've snapped back into place
and that energy has dissolved You've come back into balance Now we're just going to keep going
until you feel as light as a feather You're not supposed to feel drained It's not natural to feel drained We only feel drained when we are
not being ourselves, have you noticed? So let go of everything. It's making you
feel as if you're not allowed to be yourself For some really thin cords, just remnants, very
unconscious bits of attachment and resistance These fine cords that are sort of sprinkled
everywhere. I'm just going to use my scissors and cut through them Observe all of these things that you've
released, now that you've cut the cords to Watch them as they float further
and further away from your vicinity They go further and further
away and they're dissolving They're dissolving. Allow them to float further and
further away, they're getting smaller and smaller They're dissolving into thin
air. They no longer serve a purpose so they're disappearing from your vision They're floating off into the horizon. They no
longer matter. They're floating away, dissolving disappearing You did so well And now... now that you've released these attachments I want you to just sit with this
feeling of lightness that you now have It may show us more mental
clarity. It always does for me An expansiveness in the chest Feeling more energized Actually seeing light internally
within you. Feel into all of that because you've come back into your power You're standing in your center or lying down
in your center. Or sitting in your center You're back and you're centered. Feel
the center awareness, the centeredness and if you're having... if you
need some help with this then I have my trusty selenite and like you probably already know, selenite
has this very potent, light, powerful energy that not only cleanses you but it activates
your highest chakra. Allows you to feel into your crown chakra. So it will most definitely make
you feel light and expansive and purified And what we did earlier was a little intense.
You now have an opportunity to soothe and calm your energetic body It's always hard to let go and especially attachments to people I believe there's so much mourning
and grief that come along with it so give yourself this moment to soothe
as you come back into balance Now it's time to rest. I invite you to rest. Relax your body Your physical body, energetic body,
emotional body and mental body Feel into the light that is now being transmitted to you Feel into Reiki Know that you're healing You are always healing Thank yourself for taking the time out of your day to tend to your well-being, to take the initiative
to cut energy cords and release attachments Thank yourself for seeing the benefits of this despite
how hard it can be sometimes Relax into your centeredness You may even want to remember where it is
in your brain that you feel the centeredness Give it a mental location within your brain so that you can find it the next
time you want to feel this way If your brain was a map,
where would the centeredness be? Put a star right on that spot and remember it This way you can come back whenever you'd like When you're ready, allow yourself to drift off into sleep I wish you a beautiful night. Sweet dreams and
I'll talk to you in the next video. Good night
