Cutting Cords, Agreements and Contracts as part of your Spiritual Practice

If there has been one spiritual practice that has helped me more than any other, it is cutting cords, agreements and contracts (aka vows), that no longer serve you. I do this weekly. Here is a brief explanation of what each means and how they affect our lives:

Cords 

We create cords with everyone with whom we have an emotional relationship with. These are our relationships with family, spouse, children, friends, teachers/students and employers/employees; the list of possibilities goes on and on. It is literally anyone that we felt a connection with for good or bad. That person on Facebook that un-friended you for your beliefs, there is absolutely a cord going from that person to you. When you are intimate with someone and love them, cords are created from each of your chakras to theirs. This is why when a relationship ends, your heart physically hurts. Cords were ripped out of your heart when that tie was severed. If you have intimate relations with someone who you do not love, cords are not created going from the chakra system, but chances are at least one cord is attached somewhere on you. 

Parents have many cords that go from themselves to their children. Many parents I talk to are flabbergasted when I suggest cutting cords from their children. The key is to cut those that NO LONGER serve you. All other cords will remain. When your child is born and you stare into that beautiful face, you create cords of love and security. These are beneficial to both parties, but the cords created with your newborn no longer serves your toddler. With your toddler you create cords of love, security but with an added twist of allowing them to explore their world. As your children age and become teenagers and young adults, cords can make this transition very hard. At this stage we want cords for love and security but with the added twist of allowing them to make mistakes and fail. Cutting non beneficial cords from my children has allowed me to step back and allow them to make mistakes, learn from them and rise above them. 

Agreements 

We make so many agreements and most the time we are not aware that we have made them; these are on a soul level. We could make an agreement with a loved one to treat us poorly, to constantly put us down so that we are forced to create our own self-worth. We could create an agreement with an employer to create such a horrible work environment that we feel forced to change jobs. That job change could be the absolute best thing for us and we would have missed the opportunity if we were comfortable in the last job. The problem with agreements is that they don't always end when the desired result is achieved. If the agreement with the boss remains intact, it could create similar problems at the next job. 

We all know people who seem to always find themselves in the same type of relationship; i.e. the person who always finds an abusive mate, the one who always finds the person with an addiction problem or is chronically cheated on in all their relationships. Even when the person finds the strength and courage to leave the relationship, the next one is just the same because of soul agreements not being ended. Agreements are in place to help us grown and learn a lesson. Once that lesson is learned they need to be cut so that you can put the situation behind you. However, if you move on from one situation to the next and have not learned the lesson, the agreement will not cut. These agreements are not in place to make our lives hell, but to teach us lessons about self and propel our soul growth. If you haven't learned or grown from the agreement it will still stand, as it still serves your highest good. 

Understand, that we are not powerless beings caught in the web of our souls master planning. We can also request that ALL agreements be cut, even the ones that we are still learning from. When we do this, we need to be prepared to make new agreements and have a clear vision of where we want our future to go. Without that vision, our world can become very unstable and chaotic. I suggest creating a clear, detailed vision of what you want your future to look like before cutting all agreements. Vision boards would help with this process.

Contracts

Contracts are life themes that we have chosen to learn in this time period. Maybe in this life you have chosen to be a healer but it is burning you out. It is time to create a new contract that suits your desires and soul growth. I learned of contracts when I spoke to a healer who told me I had taken a vow of poverty in this lifetime. My current life absolutely reflected that vow as I had gone through a bankruptcy and lost my home. Cutting that vow didn't make money fall from the sky, but after that for the first time in my life I feel that I have a handle on my finances. 

Some contracts can come from past lives as well. Since time does not exist and all is happening in the now, it is easy to see how a contract made in one life can affect them all.  I met someone who is a soldier in this lifetime who has had many past lives as a soldier or warrior. In many lives he left behind a woman and child due to his death. He has fears that he will repeat it in this lifetime. Cutting this contract would help to create a fresh start in this lifetime. It would give him the opportunity to move beyond the warrior theme. Another common contract is the vow of chastity. This does not mean that the person with this vow never has intimate relationships; it may mean that they do not last long. This can be seen in relationships where a couple has not had sexual relations in 20 years. It can also be seen in people who have a brief intimate relationship followed by long bouts of being alone. Evaluate your life, look at the overwhelming theme that keeps reappearing even when you change your circumstances. It could be that you have created a contract or vow in this life that has created these situations and a change is needed. 

How to cut Cords, Agreements, & Contracts:

Go to a place where you can be quiet and undisturbed.  Surround yourself in a beautiful golden bubble of angelic protection. Call on Archangel Michael and his sword to assist you in the cutting.  Some people can visualize him coming and cutting these things, some can't. It works either way. 

Say Aloud (your voice is your signature):

Archangel Michael, please assist me in cutting all cords, agreements, and contracts that no longer serve my highest good. I ask that these cords, agreements and contracts be cut in the past, present and future, across all timelines, all dimensions, and all parallel worlds. I cut all things that no longer serve me. I am free to make my own destiny. So be it.  Thank you, Archangel Michael in assisting me today. It is done.

I recommend not placing any boundaries on the cutting. If you add parameters such as: don't cut cords from my spouse or children, it hinders the process. Trust that when you say "cut those that no longer serve me" that the only changes made will be in your absolute highest good. 

Neutrality and Manifestation

I saw this amazing video today (link at the bottom, it’s a must watch!) of a pod of dolphins and a whale family that was filmed from the sky by a drone. The images it captured gave a view that most of us could never see without a costly helicopter ride and incredible luck of being at the right place and the right time.  It highlights the incredible potential that drones have to change the way that we view our world.  A friend of mine posted the video and questioned if we as a society are seeing more positive uses for drones in order to hide the more negative ones, like spying and bombing.  It was a good question so I started looking at our perception of things and what that means for the manifestation of our world. 

Everything has a good and bad side, everything. Even a ball point pen can be a useful writing instrument or it could be a weapon.  Drones are not good or bad. They just are, it is our perception that labels them one way or another. If I see an item as either good or bad, I am feeding into the duality of the matrix.  However, if I see them as both, as having the potential for good or evil, I am viewing them as neutral.  Neutrality is where manifestation lies.

Once you are at the place of neutrality – you then have a choice in how you wish to perceive something. You can choose to see a person, event, place, or item in a mostly negative light or you can frame your perception to be positive.

I wanted greater clarification, so I wrote with my higher self, what I learned I will use to help me manifest in all areas of my life.

When you see drones from a place of neutrality but choose to see the positive over the negative, you are manifesting a world where drones will be used for good the majority of the time. Since there is free will and humans are unpredictable, nothing will be perfect. However, if your thoughts are on the beneficial uses to the drone then 85% of the time they will be used for good in your reality.

If you then start to believe drones have a greater use as evil, the percentage changes, as you would have actually changed realities to one where the item is used for harm.  When your thoughts are mostly negative, you will be in a reality that mirrors those thoughts. As you choose to see the more positive aspects of life, you will move realities to reflect a more optimistic world.  You constantly shift realities based on your thoughts, feelings and actions. The universe responds to what you are sending out as it assumes it is the experience you must want, or else you would not be creating it.

This is how two people living in the same household can have very different views on things. They are literally in two different realities, each manifesting their thoughts and bringing to themselves confirmation of their beliefs. Look at your Facebook, when you are feeling unsure, unhappy or fearful do not others posts reflect these feelings as well?  This is why we urge you to remain positive, to have positive friends and to turn away from those who are wrapped in fear.  When a person is experiencing duality, good vs. evil, they are unable to create their own desires. Manifestation requires neutrality, the belief that everything in the universe can be both good and bad; it is our perception of it that makes it so. 

Dimensions & Levels within towards Enlightenment

As I have been going through the ascension process, I've spent a lot of time wondering if any of the physical symptoms, the constant clearing and reevaluating of self was doing anything to advance me on this journey.  So many times I felt stuck, lost, even in a void.  I wanted a guide book, step by step instructions on what was next. I asked one of my higher selves if there was a guidebook, received a yes answer but then heard a chuckle because it is in the language of light which I am unable to interpret yet. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor.  I knew that I was processing, could feel light codes coming in, and could feel myself holding more light and changing, but I wanted concrete answers, something quantifiable.  When I tuned into these feelings, the pushes from solar flares, planet alignments and my own personal changes, I realized that there were levels and I was moving up that golden spiral one level at a time.

Each dimension we pass through has its own levels and each level is a lesson we must master before moving to the next one.  These lessons are different for every person as our needs and purpose are not the same. I began to be able to tell that I had moved to a new level when I experienced moments of incredible clarity, beauty, and insights. On the other hand, some levels triggered strong emotions and ego resurgence to show me areas I needed to work on. Some levels had events & themes in my life resurfacing for me to handle that last time.  Some even brought up deeply buried memories so that I could look at them with forgiveness and release to the universe. Each level I move into brings an increased sense of peace and allowing. The world around me hasn't changed so much, but my perception of it has.

Upon realizing that these intense emotions were lessons I had to go through it was much easier to return to center and find my inner peace. Some levels I have sailed through and others have brought me to my knees. I personally found Dimensions 4 & 5 to be the most difficult so far; they have the fewest lessons, but take the most time. It is in these realms that we awaken to truth and begin to control our egos.   It is where we take a look at our lives, patterns, and behaviors and make solid change.

Resisting made the process so much more difficult so I have begun to see each new lesson as a challenge and as a way to see exactly what I need to work on.  Now when I am at odds within myself I question:  Is my ego rising and causing me problems? Am I not allowing others to be where they are on their spiritual journey? Am I slipping back into fear and lack? Is that old life theme coming back to derail me, such as money, relationships, or health issues?  Have I stepped away from my heart center and acted without compassion and love?  By asking these questions I am able to dissect what is happening with me and return to that place of love, joy, and allowing. I now ask my Higher Self daily to see where I am in the process and have found that I am no longer anxious, I hope it does the same for you.

Stealing my own sense of peace

I allowed myself to be triggered yesterday and really fell into fear and saw the change in me from being heart centered to thought centered. This allowed me to see just how important it is to maintain my thoughts and vibration. 

I learned last night that Colorado has a 3 day eviction rule. Once a landlord posts the notice on your door to leave, you have 3 days until a sheriff is at your door. Normally this info, while shockingly harsh wouldn't have fazed me. However earlier in the day I read a post of Facebook about how the government will be shutting down in February to never reopen and all social security retirement and disability payments will be cancelled. When I first read the post, I didn't think anything of it and scrolled right on past.... little did I realize it was doing its damage in my subconscious the whole time.  The moment I heard about the 3 day eviction process my brain went to - oh crap, you use your disability to pay rent! What if the government shuts down and you don't have that money anymore?

At first I thought I could contain the "What if?" thoughts, however as I was making dinner they kept flying through my mind. Within 30 minutes I was grumpy as a bear. Within 45 minutes I was so anxious and uncomfortable I started releasing it onto others. Next thing you know, I'm yelling at one kid because she was stalling before bed and yelling at another child for taking a 20 minute scalding hot shower. Didn't she know that it is dollars down the drain and we are on the verge of financial collapse, eviction, and homelessness? My husband just looked at me and said "this isn't like you; you are so angry and yelling at everyone." His calm response stopped me in my tracks. What was I doing? Why was I allowing thoughts to come into my mind that caused such deep fear? Why was I stealing my own sense of peace?

I went to take a bath to cleanse my aura and clear my head. Epsom salt, crystals, and rose essential oil always does the trick for me. As I lay in the bath, I realized that the moment I let fear and lack into my thoughts I switched from being a heart centered being to a thought/ego centered one. In that place, I was taking all my frustration and fear out on my family allowing my shadow side to come out and play. 

Today I am thinking of how I allowed myself to be triggered and decided that I need to be in control of my environment and the thoughts I entertain. Anything less comes at too great a price, my internal peace and happiness. In conversations with my higher self, it was suggested that I limit my exposure to the fear propaganda. Fear lowers our vibration and since we create our version of reality via our thoughts, I need to be conscious of what I am creating. 

I don't watch news or much TV at all anymore. So little is entertaining and so much of the programming keeps us locked into fear, celebrity worship, and drama. I stopped reading the fear articles online and watching the video on YouTube that scream of the latest horrible thing getting ready to happen. I believe that that the creators of the videos feel that they are doing a service by awakening others. I was one of those people to scream from the roof tops all the injustices and plots taken place, begging people to wake up. I now realize that these tactics empower no one and instead causes people to shut down and be fearful. It literally takes us from our heart space. What I didn't do was manage my Facebook news feed. I didn't want to delete anyone because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. (Really? That again? Putting someone else's needs in front of my own. Ah, I'm such a work in progress.) I thought I could scroll through the news feed and just ignore those posts and not be triggered by them. Lesson learned. 

To get back to that place of inner peace and a wide open heart I just have to remind myself over and over again:

You are safe, whole, perfect and loved in the eyes of God. You are protected and eternal. 

Healing with Intent and Visualization

Learning experiences come to us in all sorts of ways. My most recent one was an absolute revelation. A friend messaged me that she was feeling really low, paralyzed by emotion. Her heart chakra was in the process of clearing but the "stuff" just wasn't leaving her etheric field. She asked if I could send her some energy. I agreed and planned to go to my sacred space, go within and send her some energy. Just as I was planning to do this, my 5 year old woke and climbed into bed with me. As I snuggled her I made a plan for what I was going to do when I had a moment to slip away and get into that "space". I saw myself creating an energy ball in my mind and then throwing it and it slamming into her heart chakra dispersing all of the crap that had collected.

About a minute later, she messages me on facebook saying that I just nailed her with energy that snapped her head back and make her spin! She felt lighter and free of the gunk. I was just floored. Could it be that intention and visualization were enough? I was always taught that I had to go within, connect to source, get it to flow to my heart and then down through my hands. It changed how I viewed everything.  I then decided to write with my higher self to get greater clarity. The information I received was eye opening and changes much.


Is intent enough to send healing? Do I need to go into meditation?
You can send healing by just your intent and visualizations. Intent and trust that it works is enough.


Are you able to heal deeper when in mediation?
Depends on the situation. If you know what is wrong or are sending energy, mediation or sacred space is not necessary. If you are trying to assess the problem, meditation may help you do this on the etheric level.  As the energies open up, as you become more integrated with your higher self, you will need less and less ritual.  You will be able to access many levels at one time. These abilities will become second nature. 

What I learned from this Duck Dynasty pissing contest

It's funny how ego works, it is a sly, sly fox. Even when you have the best of intentions, it can pop up and the next thing you know you are triggered by it.

When I heard about the controversy with Phil from Duck Dynasty and what was said about Christianity and homosexuality, I immediately thought - OK good, this will evoke a discussion among people and maybe someone might begin to see a different point of view. How wrong was I! Not only did people not want to budge on their views, but they set out attacking others who didn't agree with them. By the end of the day I felt so disheartened, sad and almost hopeless that humanity will ever get along. I had been told that bleeding hearts like me were what is wrong with the world and that all those wanting oneness and love were full of crap. Ouch to say the least, especially since one saying things was a relative.  I just wanted people to open their hearts and see another's point of view. I didn't want people to be so mean and heartless. Good intentions? YES, absolutely. Full of ego? YES.... absolutely.

Once I stepped back I realized I had brought all my sad, heart broke, feelings unto myself. I became involved in the situation, inserted myself in people's beliefs. Since their actions didn't match with mine, it was painful. I had expectations, the first sign that ego is involved. If I had stayed the neutral observer, I would have realized that while I don't agree with people hating another, I can't change them. They are right where they need to be in their development at this point in time. 

I woke the next day resolved that I would stay the neutral observer. That worked great until I posted something on Facebook and was met with a person who quotes the bible like a weapon. The discussion started off nice, but quickly deteriorated into - if you don't believe what I believe you are going to hell with all those homosexuals out there. That was when I should have walked away, deleted the thread and called it a day. Instead, guess who came out to play? Yup you guessed it. My ego. I didn't get upset or nasty, I just shared with him my view point on religion, that there are many paths to God. I even tried to explain the theory on reincarnation, on how we choose our lives etc. He was busy trying to change my mind and I was busing trying to change his. However, by trying to change someones mind I was implying that my path was better or the right one. Judgement is the ego.  

Our role is not to change people, our role is to shine a light, open a door, it is up to the person to walk through that door. At that point we can share our wisdom, before that it is literally a waste of precious energy.  I'm learning to be grateful for these moments when ego pops up because I am able to see where it was triggered and where I allowed myself to be engaged. From there I work on fixing my thinking.  

What I learned from this Duck Dynasty pissing contest:

• Not everyone is nice, not everyone will get along. It's not my job to play referee. We are all here playing a role, learning a lesson. Those who play the "bad" roles in our society are also serving a greater purpose by exposing the disparity between their actions and actions filled with love. 

• While I resonate with the belief that there are many paths to God, that belief does not always bring others peace. Many are still deeply rooted in religion and dogma and it is OK. They are right where they need to be for their soul growth as there are no mistakes. To push people out of their comfort zone is not only a waste of time but it could create fear in them, which could further close their mind from different thoughts. 

• It is much safer and less painful to maintain the roll of the observer, to realize that this is all an illusion and we are all playing roles for our soul to learn. 

Conversations with Higher Self - 12/21/13

Explain to me my purpose, I feel so lost.

You are a Bridger. Once the waves of people leave the portals that are open now will not be as available or easy to access. You and others like you will guide them through the narrow bridge between the two worlds. You will see the earth's changes and how humans will act. You and those that follow the path of light will be guided and protected. You have to trust. If fear is allowed to take over... it is a choice they make. Many star people will stay until the last waves as their light is needed to balance the energies and hold light on the earth until the last soul is ready.  For those in the later waves, they have to keep their light high and not be overcome by fear. As you know, the bridge is long and narrow. One's light and conviction needs to be strong.  Stressing that this is an illusion is very important. If they lose this aspect that their higher self is safe and whole, they will fail. 


Why is my ego so big and being activated?

It is so that you can see where your weak moments are. Once you go back to observing you can see how it plays out and what different courses of action could have been taken. 


You tried to warn me, didn't you? (I had gotten involved in major debates recently)

Yes, (giggles) you didn't listen and instead plowed right into another ego debate. 


Why do I feel such pain from the collective? Seeing what man has done to each other and the animals, it hurts. I want to be normal and not feel so much.

There is no normal for you. (laughing). You are shown these things so that you can forgive man for all they have done. Keeping in mind that many were doing the best they knew how to do.


How do past lives work with all being in the NOW?

Aspects of self are experiencing the world on many different timelines and dimensions. This is all so that we can learn the most about ourselves, from the lowest to the highest. This is why forgiveness and realizing of judgement are so important. You are forgiving and transmuting the pain from other selves. 


Will I make it?

Ah, but you already have.
