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.
