What Is Cord Cutting in Reiki? Why It Matters and How It Can Help You

Ever felt like someone or something from your past still has a hold on you — even if you’ve moved on? That invisible pull might be what energy healers call an energetic cord. Cord cutting is a gentle way to release those ties, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more in control of your own energy.

What Are Energetic Cords?

Energetic cords are unseen connections we form with people, events, or situations. They aren’t always bad — healthy cords can form with loved ones and supportive relationships. But sometimes, cords can become draining or unhealthy. They might keep us feeling stuck, weighed down, or emotionally tied to something that no longer serves us.

Examples of situations where cords may form include:

• Past relationships that still affect you emotionally
• Family dynamics or friendships that feel heavy
• Workplaces or stressful events you can’t stop replaying in your mind
• Situations of trauma, betrayal, or emotional overwhelm

What Is Cord Cutting?

A Cord Cutting Reiki session works to gently dissolve those unhealthy energetic ties. Using Reiki and specific techniques, the practitioner focuses on clearing cords that drain your energy. It’s not about cutting off love or memories — it’s about releasing the attachments that keep you feeling blocked or burdened.

The Benefits of Cord Cutting

Every experience is unique, but many people report:

• A sense of lightness, clarity, or freedom
• Improved emotional balance and resilience
• Healthier personal boundaries
• More energy and focus for the present
• The ability to move forward from past events
  

If you’d like a more general rebalancing, a One to One Session may also help.

Why Do People Choose Cord Cutting?

Cord cutting has become increasingly popular in recent years as more people explore Reiki and energy healing. In our busy, connected world, it’s common to feel tied down by old relationships, stressful jobs, or experiences we’ve long outgrown. For many, cord cutting feels like a fresh start — an energetic reset that lets them reclaim their personal power.

It’s especially helpful if you:

• Feel stuck in repetitive patterns
• Struggle to “get over” a past connection
• Often feel drained after interacting with certain people
• Want to step into a new chapter of life with more clarity

Curious About Trying Cord Cutting?

If you’re ready to release draining attachments and move forward with more freedom, a Cord Cutting Reiki Session could be exactly what you need. Sessions are gentle, non-invasive, and designed to help you reclaim your energy so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more empowered.

Cord cutting is not about forgetting the past — it’s about freeing yourself from what no longer supports your growth. The difference can feel like lifting a weight you didn’t even realise you were carrying.
