Cutting the Emotional Cords from the Past

by Gary Paul Frese

(inspired by Dr. Doreen Virtue)

To move forward successfully in our lives, it’s a good bet we need to release our lower-energy life experiences before moving on fearlessly.  Lower-energy life experiences include childhood experiences that have scared us, unhappy relationships, guilt about hurting others, unhappy career or job related experiences, dysfunctional family experiences, etc.  The list does go on and on whenever we allow a “list” to develop and grow during our lifetime.  The longer we wait to address our life issues, the stronger the emotional cords become that bond us to our lower-energy experiences.  And, what tends to make matters worse is that we give our personal power away to “our list”.  Our “lists” are so convenient!  Whenever we need an excuse for not moving ahead fearlessly, we just refer to our “list”.  Our “list” is guaranteed to give us the excuses we need to remain in our self-imposed, fear-based environment.

So, just how do we identify and cut the cords to our lower-energy experiences?  There are angelic ways and earthly ways to cut our emotional cords.

Regardless of the method that you use to cut your emotional cords from the past, first you must identify and make a list of the lower-energy experiences you are carrying with you.  Making a list is a challenge in itself because we tend to block out and emotionally ignore life experiences that we allow to continually hurt and hold us back.  My suggestion is that you relax and put yourself in a meditative state so you can ask your angels and divine creator to help you identify life experiences that need to be released.  Many of you have heard of, and used, earthly methods to cut emotional cords from your past.

Some of the earthly methods include making a list of what we want to release and…

1. Burn the list,
2. bury the list in mother earth,
3. attach the list to a balloon and release it to the sky above, or
4. place the list in a stream or river to let it float away.

There are numerous “earthly” methods you can use to release your lower-energy experiences.  It doesn’t matter what method you use as long as your intention is to release your experiences so you can move forward in life fearlessly and successfully.

The angelic method for releasing lower-energy experiences is to call on an angel to help you disconnect and release those energies.  I personally call on Archangel Michael to help me release both my past AND present lower-energy experiences.  I like calling on Archangel Michael because together we can grasp his sword to cut through the emotional cords.  Envisioning his sword in my hands gives me the extra strength I need to cut my personal lower-energy cords successfully.  Here is how I suggest you call on and use the help that Archangel Michael has to offer you:

1. Place yourself in a relaxed, meditative state.
2. Ask Archangel Michael to join you.
3. Specifically ask him, and if you choose, your divine creator, to help you cut through the emotional cords that are bonding you to your lower-energy experiences.
4. Ask to be detached from your experiences so you can open yourself up to moving forward in life fearlessly in a state of love and forgiveness.  It is important that you do this with the intention of forgiving yourself as well as others who are part of your lower-energy experiences.
5. Grasp Archangel Michael’s sword and visualize the cords that need to be cut.  You never know how many cords require cutting.  The longer you have been attached to your lower-energy experiences, the more cords there are to cut through, and the thicker the cords are.
6. After you cut through the cords, it is important to seal each cord-end that you have cut.  Use Archangel Michael’s sword to seal the ends.  This will help reduce the chance of the cords growing back together.
7. After you have successfully cut through your cords, offer a prayer of thanks for the help you received.

Frequently, only one session is required to cut the cords.  However, I have had clients report that they have had to repeat the sessions up to four times (once daily) to release the lower-energies from their mind, soul and body.  Just remember that the more open you are to releasing the lower-energies associated with your past, the easier it will be to release those energies.
