A cord is a psychic
connection with another person that transmits energy. Cording is designed
primarily for parents to be connected with their children as if through an
invisible umbilical cord. Cords allow parents to provide supplemental life
support for their children until they can become energetically independent
(during adolescence). They also allow parents to be aware of what is happening
with their children. Adults can “run” a couple of small children off their
“battery,” since theirs are so much larger, but not other adults. Adults
are too big—they consume too much energy—to run off other people’s
batteries. The size of cords can vary; one that is large can seriously drain
someone’s energy.
Although cords are not
designed for adults to be energetically dependent on other adults, cording
among adults is common. Most people both cord others and are corded by others.
There may be a net loss of energy, a net gain, or it may come out equal.
However, it is preferable for adults not to allow anyone to cord them other
than those who are literally dependent on them for survival, such as children
or an invalid. Most adults are capable of living from their own internal
source of energy.
Cording is not the same as a
shared bond, which does not take energy from another but provides connection.
A shared bond looks similar to a cord, but it does not transmit a substantial
amount of energy. It is more like a telephone line that is available when
needed for communication than like the power cord of an appliance that is
constantly drawing energy.
To eliminate cords, close
your eyes and visualize them. Notice their location, color, and size, and
follow them out to see to whom they connect. Then ask your inner self to let
them go and dissolve them in the light. You will probably need to do this
regularly for a while, since cording and being corded tend to be habitual. If
you do this a couple of times a day for a few weeks, those who attempt to
reestablish a cord with you will probably become tired of it and stop.
If a particular cord is not
dissolving, you might explore what your “payoff” is in letting that person
cord you. Is it assuaging some guilt or misplaced sense of responsibility you
have regarding him?
When you release a major
cord, you may find that it leaves a “stub,” or at least some rawness, if
not an “open wound.” Spend some time continuing to release and heal it
until the area is totally smooth. If the wound is open, it is easier for
others to re-cord you. Visualize a specific color you find healing for this
wound and keep it there. It should be different in color from the cord. For
example, if the cord looks red, you might fill the wound with a blue-green “salve.”
If you feel the need to cord
others, you can work on developing a stronger knowledge of your inner source.
Are essence twins corded?
Essence twins are not
necessarily corded in the way we are speaking of here. They share a permanent
connection on an essence level. Cording is on the physical level.
