With this previous post, I introduced in some detail energetic cords of attachment and the many benefits of removing them from your aura.
Today, I want to answer some questions that have come up during sessions with clients to give you a better idea of how this all works.
How does a Cord of Attachment differ from a Spiritual Tie?
Imagine you have two ropes between you and another person – one white and one gray.
The white rope is chock full of all the fun you’ve had, nifty vacations, and the joy you both have when with each other. That’s the Spiritual Tie.
The gray rope is full of the arguments, the time she was snitty with you and it hurt your feelings and the three times you didn’t really listen when she was sad. Guess which one this is?
You can let go of your end of the gray rope and by doing so, release all the energy that’s flowing back and forth between you – the hurt feelings, the anger, even the competition. Just drop that end of the rope.
But you get to keep holding on to the white rope and continue to feel all the joy that’s between you two. You don’t have to hold both ropes – just the one that makes you happy.
That’s what cutting a cord of attachment does – allows you to let go of the gray rope and stop the flow of yuck between you and another. I don’t know about you, but I’m all for letting go of that and just keeping the joy. Energetically it clears you up to hold your own feelings without being influenced by the toxic stuff of another.
Bottom line: Keep your spiritual ties – they’re nice. Let go of the icky gray rope.
If I cut a cord of attachment, am I ending my relationship with that person?
I think this is a perfectly reasonable question to ask. The answer is NO. All you are doing is removing the conduit of energy that flows between you so you can be in your own vibration without that particular influence on you. What you choose to do after that is completely up to you.
Once a cord is cut between me and someone else, can it grow back again?
As I understand it from my studies, a cord will not return. You get one cord and one spiritual tie per person. So, if you have a cord of attachment to your father and that cord is removed, another one will not grow in its place. One and done, as it were!
I’d like to make the most of my session and cut all the ties with my family. Can we do that?
Nope – no can do. There’s a one cord per session rule and I’m a fan of that. Why? Because you’d be amazed at what kind of information can come through in a session. The process to cut the cord itself is fast but what takes time is bringing through the information about what was in that cord so that you can learn from it.
Also, there’s a period after the cord is cut for integrating those lessons. There’s no way you can do all that in a short period of time and get the most out of the session.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have about this transformational healing work. Having seen it from both sides (facilitating and receiving), it almost defies explanation because the shifts and changes that come are that big. For real.
I was really interested in this session, because I had someone that I thought I needed to cut cords with; and then the connection was lost at Christmas. All the resentment and anger that I had been holding on to vanished and I feel like a weight has been lifted. I thought this was disconnecting from someone that we have a negative tie toom but can it be used to disconnect from the past? I spent so many years obsessing about past mistakes, I've since grown up, but know people who still do the same. Can this help them?
Hi Kimberly,
As I understand it, from Rose, cords are just with other people and not situations or animals or things like that.
I think all STUFF can be healed if the intention is to truly do that healing work. Even though when you cut a cord of attachment it seems like not much happened, it's because it's all done on another plane. The effects down here in the physical take a bit longer to show up.
And I'm glad to hear that your negative stuff seems to have dissolved. That's always a good thing, isn't it?? 🙂
Hi Lisa, this is a really clarifying post for me. I am just waiting for my copy of the book to arrive – can't wait!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy,
Glad this helped. As you're going through the book, please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have – if I can answer, I'll be happy to do so and if I can't, I have a hotline to Rose and can get her take on it. The thread I linked to, though, is a treasure trove of stuff people have asked and she's responded to. I'm keeping the link handy in case other stuff comes up as I'm going deeper into the work. I'm also taking the Level 2 workshop in the summer so I'll be sharing anything new I get there with you all.
Good luck!
HI Lisa,
I can certainly agree with that fact that only one cord should be cut at a time. As Lisa mention there is healing that takes place when a cord is cut. I found my healing felt like it took / is taking place on a couple different levels – physically, mentally, energetically. I swear I felt a 'release' within my body where the cord was wrapped. Then there is the dealing with energy that has been missing for so long – that I am learning how to deal/work with – it's like what did I do with this energy before?? I love the feeling that I have within me again. I am looking forward to the other cords being cut and my whole life returning to ME!
