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.�?/FONT>
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.
