Definition:
Energy cords are etheric connections between people, formed through relationship, emotion, or interaction.

How They Form:
• Close relationships (family, lovers, friends)
• Sexual intimacy (strongest cords)
• Trauma bonding.
• Long-term interaction.
• Obsessive thinking about someone.
• Magical work binding people.

Healthy Cords:
• Allow appropriate energy exchange.
• Support both people.
• Flexible and balanced.
• Can be maintained consciously.

Unhealthy Cords:
• Drain one or both people.
• Created through codependency.
• Result of psychic vampirism.
• Keep you stuck in past relationships.
• Allow unwanted influence.

Cord Cutting:
• Visualization (cutting with light/sword)
• Ritual with physical cutting.
• Archangel Michael invocation.
• Distance and intention.
• Professional energy worker.

After Cutting:
• May need to repeat (cords can reform)
• Grounding and protection.
• Fill the space with self-love.
• Sometimes physical detox symptoms.
