A few years ago, I found myself feeling emotionally exhausted after certain conversations—like a weight I couldn’t shake off.

At first, I dismissed it. 

I kept telling myself that maybe I was just tired and that this would pass.

But then I noticed a pattern.

It wasn’t just exhaustion. It was a heavy, lingering presence—like someone else’s energy had settled into my own.

And the more I ignored it, the worse it became.

I would replay arguments in my head while feeling an unexplained sadness that wasn’t mine. I also found it really difficult to focus on my own well-being.

That’s when I realized that I was still energetically tied to people from my past.

It wasn’t just exes or past friendships. It was family members I felt obligated to, mentors I had outgrown, even colleagues and friends whose opinions weighed too heavily on me.

These unseen threads—energetic cords—were keeping me in cycles of guilt, doubt and complete emotional depletion.

But I knew something had to change.

Do you ever feel emotionally exhausted after interacting with someone? Like their energy lingers long after the conversation has ended, leaving you feeling depleted and burdened? 

You’re not imagining it.

Women, especially those with deep empathy and nurturing spirits, often carry energetic ties to people long after relationships have ended—exes, past friendships, family members, mentors, or even colleagues. 

These invisible cords keep us in cycles of guilt, obligation and emotional exhaustion.

But here’s the truth: 

You don’t have to stay energetically bound to people who no longer serve your Highest good.

What Are Energetic Cords?

Energetic cords are unseen threads of connection that form between you and others through emotional bonds, shared experiences and past interactions. Some of these cords are beautiful. They are nurturing connections with soul-aligned people. 

But others? 

They drain your energy, keep you tied to the past, limit your growth and keep you stuck.

You might have an unhealthy energetic cord if:

- You constantly think about someone, even when you don’t want to.
- You feel obligated or guilty when setting boundaries.
- You absorb their emotions, feeling anxious, angry, or exhausted after interactions.
- You keep replaying past arguments, betrayals and those unresolved feelings that keep you drained and trapped.

The longer these cords remain, the more they influence your energy, the choices you make and your emotional well-being. 

It’s time to let go.

How to Cut Energetic Cords with Love & Power

I’ve been through this process myself, and I want to share what truly works. When I started cutting cords, I didn’t just feel lighter—I felt more like myself than I had in years.

If you’re ready to release the energy that no longer serves you, here’s where to start:

1. Recognize Who Is Draining You

Take a deep breath and reflect: Who comes to mind first? Whose energy lingers in your thoughts, body, or emotions?

For me, it was someone I had a complicated relationship with—someone I loved deeply but whose energy always left me feeling conflicted and small. Every time I saw their name on my phone, my body tensed. That was my answer.

Trust your intuition. Your body already knows.

2. Acknowledge the Lesson & Release Guilt

Every connection, even the painful ones, taught you something.

Maybe they showed you how to stand up for yourself. Maybe they reflected wounds you needed to heal. Maybe they simply helped you see what you no longer want in your life.

I used to feel guilty for creating distance from people who once meant so much to me. But then I realized that releasing someone doesn’t mean you don’t love them—it means you love yourself enough to protect your energy.

You can honor the lesson without holding onto the energy.

Thank the experience for its lesson and remind yourself that you're not responsible for carrying someone else’s energy.

3. Energetic Cord-Cutting Ritual

This is a powerful practice I do whenever I feel someone’s energy lingering too strongly in my space. I also do it every night before I go to bed. Try this simple yet powerful ritual to release unhealthy attachments:

Find a quiet space.

Light a candle or hold a crystal (black tourmaline, obsidian, or selenite work well).

Close your eyes. Imagine the person in front of you and the energetic cord connecting you.

Visualize golden scissors or light cutting through the cord. Feel yourself reclaiming your energy as their energy dissolves from your field.

Affirm: I release you with love. I free myself. I call all my energy back to me, cleansed and renewed.

Breathe deeply. Imagine golden light surrounding you, sealing your aura.

After this ritual, take note of how you feel. Many of my clients experience an immediate sense of lightness and peace.

4. Strengthen Your Boundaries

Cutting cords is powerful, but it’s only half the work.

You also need to protect your energy from reattaching to unhealthy dynamics.

Here’s how:

Say no without guilt. You are not obligated to be available to everyone.

Limit contact with energy-draining people. Distance isn’t cruel—it’s clarity.

Practice energetic protection. Imagine a shield of white light around you before interacting with difficult people. Carry protective crystals like black tourmaline.

Use affirmations like this one: 
I am surrounded by love and protected from anything that is not in alignment with my Highest good.

Your Energy Is Sacred. Honor It

I know how hard it can be to let go. But letting go isn’t about bitterness—it’s about reclaiming your peace and power.

When you cut unhealthy cords, you create space for healthier, soul-nourishing connections.
