Energy Cords: Understanding Our Connections to Others and to the Divine

We are all energy, vibrating, breathing, and moving within a vast field of interconnected life.

Within this field, cords of energy form between us and the people, places, and experiences that shape our lives. Some of these cords are sacred and nurturing, while others can become heavy, draining, or tangled when not maintained with awareness.

Here is a deeper dive into some of the energy cords and attachments we have in our lifetime.

The Silver Cord: Connection to the Higher Self

Beyond the earthly realm, we are also connected to our Higher Self through what many traditions call the silver cord.

This cord is an energetic bridge between our physical body and the eternal aspect of our consciousness. It keeps us anchored to life on Earth while maintaining a connection to higher wisdom, divine truth, and universal love.

During deep meditation, dreaming, or out-of-body experiences, we sometimes become more aware of this cord. It is the reason we are able to safely travel in spirit and always return to our body.

The silver cord reminds us that we are not separate from Source. We are multidimensional beings — living here in the physical realm while simultaneously existing in divine consciousness.

When we strengthen our connection to our Higher Self, our energy feels lighter, our intuition grows stronger, and we begin to navigate life from a place of alignment and trust.

The Sacred Cord Between Mother and Child

From the moment a soul chooses to enter the Earth plane, an energy cord begins forming between mother and child. It starts as a physical connection through the umbilical cord — the channel that sustains life — but even after birth, an invisible energetic cord remains.

This mother-child cord is one of the purest expressions of divine love. It carries emotional energy, intuitive knowing, and the vibration of safety. It’s why a mother can sense her child’s emotions or wellbeing, even from miles away.

As the child grows, this cord naturally evolves. In the early stages of life, it’s often connected at the heart, symbolizing deep love and nurturing. But as both souls continue to grow and awaken, it becomes important to energetically shift the cord from the heart to the root chakra.

This transition allows the child to ground into their own path, build independence, and discover who they are beyond their mother’s energy. It also frees the mother’s heart from carrying the constant energetic weight of responsibility and worry, while keeping the connection rooted in love, support, and stability.

Through intention and love, this shift honors the sacred bond while allowing both souls to flourish in their individual journeys — connected, but free.

If the energetic cord between a mother and child never transitions from the heart to the root chakra, the relationship often remains emotionally entangled rather than supportive.

When the cord stays attached at the heart, the energy exchange continues to move back and forth at a deep emotional level. While it may begin as love and care, over time it can create energetic dependency. The child may struggle to fully individuate — feeling guilt for wanting independence or sensing they are responsible for their mother’s emotions.

For the mother, this can manifest as difficulty letting go, worry, or feeling emotionally drained. She may unconsciously draw on the child’s energy for comfort or validation, keeping both locked in a cycle of over-giving and over-feeling.

Energetically, the heart becomes overloaded with emotional cords, which can lead to anxiety, resentment, or even physical heart and chest tension. Both souls may feel stuck — unable to move forward without the other’s emotional response.

By shifting the cord from the heart to the root, the connection remains loving but becomes grounded, stable, and free from codependence.

• The child can root into their own life path with confidence.

• The mother can release the energetic responsibility of “carrying” the child’s emotions.

• Love flows cleanly without fear or attachment.

This process is not about disconnection; it’s about evolution — allowing love to grow in a healthy, balanced way where both souls can thrive.

Other Energy Cords We Form in Life

Throughout life, cords can form with many people and experiences:

• Romantic partners — especially through intimacy and emotional bonding.

• Friends or family members — through shared experiences or strong emotional ties.

• Teachers, mentors, or healers — through energetic exchanges and influence.

• Workplaces, homes, or even online communities — where we invest time, energy, and emotion.

When these cords are rooted in love, respect, and soul alignment, they feel uplifting and balanced. But cords formed through fear, control, guilt, anger, or dependency can begin to drain our energy. We may feel tired, emotionally reactive, or unable to move forward — often without realizing we’re still connected to old energy that needs to be released.

Signs You May Have Heavy or Unhealthy Energy Cords

• You think about a person or situation constantly, even when you don’t want to.

• You feel drained, anxious, or emotionally pulled after interacting with someone.

• You have difficulty letting go of past relationships or experiences.

• You sense energy in your body (especially heart or solar plexus) that feels tight or heavy.

• You notice recurring dreams, emotions, or thought loops tied to a particular person or event.

These are all indications that an energy cord might still be active and needs clearing or rebalancing.

Clearing and Releasing Energy Cords

Cord clearing doesn’t mean cutting off love or denying connection — it’s about releasing energetic attachments that are no longer serving your highest good.

The love remains, but the imbalance dissolves.

Here are a few ways to do this consciously and gently:

1. Set the Intention
   Sit quietly, breathe deeply, and affirm:

   “I call in my Higher Self and Divine Light to help me release all cords, attachments, and energies that are not in alignment with my highest path. I release them with love and forgiveness.”

2. Visualize the Cord
   Imagine the person or situation in front of you. See the energetic cord that connects you — often attached at the heart, solar plexus, or sacral chakra. Notice its color, size, and texture. Then, with love and gratitude, visualize the cord being gently dissolved by light.

3. Use the Violet Flame or Archangel Michael’s Sword of Light
   Call upon Archangel Michael to assist in clearing cords that carry heavy or karmic energy. Visualize his sword of light cutting away old attachments and transmuting them into peace.

4. Fill the Space with Love
   After clearing, visualize divine light filling both your energy field and the space where the cord once was. Say to yourself,

   “I am free, and so are they. I choose love, healing, and peace.”

5. Maintain Your Energy Hygiene
   Regularly clear your field through meditation, sound healing, salt baths, or time in nature. Your energy is sacred — keeping it clear allows you to stay aligned with your soul.

Living with Conscious Connection

Not all cords are meant to be released. The cords of love — between a mother and child, between your physical self and your Higher Self, and between souls walking in harmony — are sacred connections that uplift us.

The goal is not disconnection but awareness.
To know what energy is yours and what is not.
To allow love to flow freely without entanglement.
And to remember that your soul is always connected — to Source, to others, and to the infinite web of light that holds us all.

If you’re feeling unsure whether you have energetic cords that need to be released, or you’ve tried clearing them on your own but still sense something lingering, I can help. Through intuitive energy clearing and cord release sessions, we can identify where these attachments exist in your field and lovingly release them so you can return to peace, balance, and alignment with your Higher Self.
