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.
