Have you ever felt like you\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0get someone out of your head?\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s an ex, boss or family member.\u00a0 You have continual conversations in your head which make you feel sad, angry, depressed, or anxious.\u00a0 When this happens it\u2019s a pretty good sign that you and this person have an unhealthy energetic attachment through what\u2019s referred to as an \u201cenergy cord\u201d.<\/p>\n
I had one of these head conversations and it was driving me nuts.\u00a0 I decided to get quiet to learn about it. \u00a0Five minutes into my meditation, a saw a mother elephant with her calf.\u00a0 The calf was hanging onto the mother\u2019s tail with her trunk.\u00a0 The mother elephant began talking to me.\u00a0 She explained that she was connected to her calf not only by the tail and trunk but by an energy cord that ran between their root chakras. (Chakras are energy centers in our bodies and the bodies of animals).<\/p>\n
Mother elephant:<\/b> \u00a0We are connected this way so my calf can feel safe in the world.\u00a0 My energy, my strength feeds her now while she is young and developing her own sense of safety.\u00a0 When she is older, this energy cord will become much smaller and will be gently attached to my field.\u00a0\u00a0 It will no longer be this thick cord.\u00a0 All of the other elephants in my herd are gently connected to me and me to them this way.\u00a0 It is how we know when one is in trouble even if they are very far away.\u00a0 It is only when they are very young that there is such a thick cord.\u00a0 If an elephant is orphaned, another mother will come and connect to that calf so he learns to feel safe in the world.\u00a0 This is true for most animals.\u00a0 When allowed to develop a sense of security this way they learn to live happily without the big cord.\u00a0 Sometimes, animals do not receive this sense of security and can experience more difficulties with fear and anxiety, but it is not common.<\/p>\n
We (the animals) have observed humans have more difficulties with this.\u00a0 We see your energy.\u00a0 We see all sorts of heavy cords to other people and even to your politics and TV.\u00a0 What was intended to be a source of spiritual nourishment and support has become draining and sometimes harmful.<\/p>\n
Wendy:<\/b> So how do we release these cords?\u00a0 Should we cut them as many energy workers have advised?<\/p>\n
Mother Elephant:<\/b> Your goal is not to be disconnected from others but to be self contained in your own strength and beauty. \u00a0This way you don’t feed off others.\u00a0 You can be gently connected without heavy draining cords.<\/p>\n
Wendy:<\/b> But what about those that feed off of us?\u00a0 I have read about when others attach to us and can drain our energy.\u00a0 I have experienced this as well.<\/p>\n
Mother Elephant:<\/b> Yes, but this can only happen with your permission.\u00a0 Even if you are not conscious of it, there is a part of you that believes something is gained from this attachment or it could not happen. You must look deep inside yourself with honest compassion and find the part of you that is holding on.\u00a0 Often there are beliefs held in your subconscious that keep you corded together.\u00a0 Once you discover this belief, you can acknowledge it and let it go.\u00a0 Then you can transform that thick dysfunctional cord into a light energy cord of love and gratitude.<\/p>\n
This made so much more sense to me than the cutting cord exercises I had learned about over the years.\u00a0 I decided to give it a try.\u00a0 I felt into the person and our relationship and I discovered how I was holding on.\u00a0 I found a very scared part of me that needed to know that I could take care of her.\u00a0 I felt my frustration and anger towards the other person dissolve into nothingness like a soap bubble into the air.\u00a0 I reassured that little part that she was safe.\u00a0 I could feel my entire energy body shift from tense and tight to open and filled with loving light.<\/p>\n
This is a very important lesson for a highly sensitive empath.\u00a0 We are naturally more sensitive to the energy of other beings.\u00a0 We can become physically and emotionally toxic with unhealthy attachments but \u201ccutting cords\u201d may not be the answer.\u00a0 By using this method taught to me by Mother Elephant, we can take responsibility for our connection to the cord and release it.<\/p>\n
Next time you find yourself obsessing or feeling drained by another consider that you have an energy cord.\u00a0 Look within to discover where you are holding on.\u00a0 What belief are you carrying? Nurture and reassure that part of you, be honest but gentle.\u00a0 Release your hold on that cord and allow it to dissolve.\u00a0 See it transform from its heavy structure to a thin strand of light that just touches the perimeter of your energy field.<\/p>\n
