Cut Cords of Attachment (15 page)

Whatever a client’s expectations, your job is to clarify what you can and can’t do. Complicating this conversation is the possibility that your client—someone you care about, or maybe even yourself in crisis—may be in a big rush, demanding that you do something dramatic and do it fast.

You are in charge, however. So take the time needed to prepare your client properly. If you feel pressured to rush through Step 4, it would be wise to stop the session right there. Clients who respect their healer don’t try to boss her around.

Sometimes you may need discernment as your own client. Well, develop that. If you’re in crisis, now is not the time to facilitate healing for yourself or anyone else. This time will pass. Later you can go back to your role as Healthy-Enough Healer.

TECHNIQUE: Preview the Process for Your Client

Even if a client has had previous experience with cutting cords of attachment, he may not be familiar with
your
way of doing it. Begin by explaining what cord cutting will and won’t do. Here are the most important points to make:

1. When you have an important relationship, the Cosmic Phone Company comes in to install a cable, or cord, between yourself and the other person. This cord attaches to your aura.

2. Energy flows back and forth through this cord. This is not unconditional love but the toxic part of a relationship. For instance, a cord could be sending you the equivalent of a ton of anger. As if this weren’t bad enough, the energy pattern in a cord will usually repeat 24/7 until the last minutes of your life.

3. But here we’re using the technology of Rosetree Energy Spirituality to remove a cord of attachment permanently. This will free you from the energy imbalance that has affected you subconsciously, through your aura.

4. Cutting a cord of attachment brings freedom. How you use that new freedom will be up to you.

What Will Cord Cutting Do? A Quiz

Here’s a quiz you can give your client to clarify further what is reasonable to expect. Answer TRUE or FALSE.

Will cutting a cord of attachment:

1. Remove unconditional love, the spiritual learning, between you and the other person?

2. Hurt the other person?

3. Change the other person, turning him into somebody who is really nice to you?

4. Make you instantly closer to the other person? Or break off your relationship?

5. Cause suffering? Is there a spiritual price to pay?

What Will Cord Cutting Do? Quiz Answers

1. Will cutting a cord of attachment remove
unconditional
love, the spiritual learning, between you and the other person?

NO. Spiritual ties are sacred, as much a part of you as your very soul. Nothing can remove spiritual ties, but cords of attachment are separate. And different.

2. Will cutting a cord of attachment
hurt
the other person?

NO. It won’t affect the cordee in any way. (If your client worries about this, explain Divine Homeostasis, to be discussed in Step 6.)

3. Will cutting a cord of attachment
change
the other person, turning him into somebody who is really nice to you?

You know who must make the decision in order for a person to change, don’t you? (Coach your client, if necessary, that each person is responsible for her own life. Some clients need to hear this again and again. With each cord cut, they will hear it better.)

4. Will cutting a cord of attachment make you instantly
closer
to the other person? Or will it break off your relationship?

NO and NO. You will simply have more choices about how close you wish to be.

5. Will cutting a cord of attachment cause suffering? Is there a spiritual
price
to pay for moving out a cord of attachment?

NO and NO. Cutting cords of attachment is a sacred form of surgery, done with Divine blessing. This is Rosetree Energy Spirituality, after all.

Are you seeking enlightenment in your spiritual life? Then you can appreciate how important it would be to gain freedom from energies that distort your aura.

Permission to Cut a Cord

Think of it like a vote: A candidate for cord cutting has been named. But will that candidate win the election? Remember, you co-create healing sessions with a Divine Being. Consult that wisdom before agreeing to cut any cord of attachment.

TECHNIQUE: Question Twice, Cut Once

Tailors and carpenters are advised to measure twice, cut once. When I suggest that you question twice, I don’t mean that you should test yourself unnecessarily by asking the same question twice.

Horrors! Never! But two rounds of the “Questioning” technique must be done before you agree to cut any cord of attachment between a client and the person proposed as a cordee. Use the first name of that person in the following research.

1. Get Big

2. Set an intention to learn the truth.

3. Ask
“Is there a cord of attachment
between my client and [this person]?”

4. Take 2 vibe-raising breaths.

5. Accept what you get. Inside, your answer could show up as physical sensation, words, colors, etc. Know that you can receive information about degree of intensity, not simply a yes-or-no reaction. No energy at all means that the answer is “No.” There can be many degrees of yes, as you will discover through experience with cord cutting.

6. Ask,
“Do I have Divine permission to facilitate cutting this cord of attachment?”

7. Take 2 vibe-raising breaths.

8. Accept whatever you get. Here, you need only a simple yes or no. If it is a major cord of attachment, for your first many sessions with cord cutting, you might technically get permission. But that doesn’t mean you are going to get a really good quality healing, so don’t try to game the system.

Of course, it’s smart to use the checklist in this chapter to do preliminary identification of major cords and minor cords and cut dozens of minor cords of attachment before considering one that might be a major cord. Use Steps 6-8 of this technique to make sure.

9. Congratulate yourself on completing yet another technique. Now you’re done. Open your eyes.

Q&A For Permission to Cut a Cord of Attachment

The aspect of permission can intimidate a new practitioner. Don’t be intimidated, though. I hope this Q&A can help you trust yourself as a healer of emotional and energetic debris, STUFF.

What if you receive permission but still feel iffy about cutting a particular cord?

Especially when new to this work, you may not feel secure enough yet to deal with a difficult client or cord. Let a sequence of successes bring you confidence. If you feel any strong doubt about cutting a cord of attachment, don’t do it.

Say that I have only cut a cord or two but I’m impatient. And I do get permission to cut a major cord. Does that mean I’m really advanced?

Frankly, it means you are really impatient. Technically you have been given permission to go ahead and do a job with minimum skill. Not nearly as good a job as you are capable of.

With more experience, you could do a superb job and receive really great results. Instead you are asking for permission to get the minimum of results but get the job over with.

Someone who is really “advanced” at any technique of Rosetree Energy Spirituality has the wisdom to follow techniques as given, not try to game the system, rush the process, etc.

Might I not get permission to cut a cord of attachment for any reason other than lack of experience?

Definitely. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. If you wish, you can do an additional round of “Questioning” to find out why. Just don’t tell your client, because this could be hard to handle. Plus you, the healer, never want to put yourself in the position of debating with a client, or having a client try to change your mind.

Can I use this method of “Questioning” to try out several cords until I find the most important one to cut?

Whether you are doing sessions of self-healing or working with your client, this would not be helpful. You are in a healing session, not an auction. Future sessions can be available. (The price is right, isn’t it?)

If there is permission to facilitate cutting the first cord that you research, go with that. If there is not permission, research a second minor cord of attachment. If, the second research yields a “No go,” then do not attempt to cut any cord of attachment at this time.

What if I am tempted to cut more than one cords of attachment in one day?

Resist. Cutting cords of attachment is not like collecting antiques, only in reverse. There is no quantity benefit. With self-healing, results are for your life. Make it a quality healing.

That means moving out one cord of attachment in a quality way. Give yourself at least three days after cutting a minor cord of attachment, integrating the results.

Okay, but what if my best friend requests that I cut more than one cords of attachment in one day?

Refuse. This would be no favor, no efficiency, no way to save time or help extra.

Cutting even one cord of attachment counts as major surgery for an aura; your client’s whole mind-body-spirit system must recuperate afterwards.

Wouldn’t cutting three cords give your client the most value for a session?

Actually, cutting just one cord properly will help your client more than racing to remove two or three.

Focus on doing a really good job, which means doing a quality job at each of the 12 Steps. Never skimp on going through all the 12 Steps in this book.

Remember, this aura-level technology is enormously powerful. One cord cutting could give your client (or you) the same benefit as a year of psychotherapy. (I mention this because many clients have told me so.)

Prepare Your Client

Now you and the client are ready to cut a particular cord of attachment. It’s the perfect time to preview what will happen next. Demystify the process and help your client to become comfortable with an unfamiliar procedure.

For the following example, I’ll name Hercules as the Divine Being in charge of the session. You would, of course, substitute your client’s choice.

Note: To break up the long description, I like to include my “big joke.” If it makes you laugh, this can become one of your big jokes also.

To make sure you can even
recognize
what is supposed to be my big joke, I will italicize it. In Japan, this joke goes over really, really well. Really! If you come up with good jokes to use in other parts of the world, please let me know. The 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment work universally. If my jokes were as successful, guess I would be in a different line of work.

TECHNIQUE: Preview the Next Steps for Your Client

1. First, I’ll locate where the cord of attachment connects into your body.

2. Then I’ll ask you to speak out a Permission Statement, to satisfy spiritual law.

3. Next, Hercules will help me to cut the cord of attachment.

4. After cutting the cord, I’ll reach in and remove any bits of that cord still attached to your aura. You can watch me fling this stuff into the nearest violet flame.

5. Following this comes the creative part, and you will be the one to do it. I’ll ask you to name any gemstones you like, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, amethysts. Then Hercules and I will bring this into your aura for a bandage.

• • There’s good news and bad news about this bandage.
    
  • Good news is that you can ask for whatever you like. It could be the biggest diamond you have ever seen, yet it won’t cost you a cent because it’s included in your session.
    
  • The bad news is that you can’t go to a store tomorrow and sell it all, like second-hand jewelry, because this bandage will only exist at the level of your aura.
    

6. Validation is the next step. I’ll go into your aura to record the destructive energy pattern that was stuck in this cord of attachment. This isn’t everything about the other person or you or the relationship, only the ways in which you have been stuck repeating a toxic pattern. We’ll discuss this pattern, plus implications for having your life improve as a result of the session.

7. Finally, I’ll give you some very simple homework, plus going-home instructions. Do you have any questions?

Enjoy the Show

When giving clients a preview of what I’m about to do, I usually add these pointers.

• You may or may not see the Divine Being standing next to me now, and sending special energy into my Crown Chakra to help me cut this cord of attachment.
  
• You may or may not see the other energy that flows into my crown chakra to help me do this session.
  
• You may or may not see the laser light that pops out from my fingers (or laser wand) when I cut this cord of attachment.
  
• But here’s what you will definitely see, provided that you open your eyes and look. I’ll cut that cord of attachment and get all that energy recycled.
  
• Remember, this cord of attachment is being cut permanently. I recommend that you watch because this particular form of entertainment can never be repeated.
  

Excellent!

Glad you didn’t rush ahead. You have conscientiously prepared yourself to cut cords up through Step 4. Now the rest of the 12 Steps can proceed smoothly.

If you are like me, Courageous Healer, you will find that healing with Rosetree Energy Spirituality is one of the greatest delights in life.

12 STEPS TO CUT CORDS OF ATTACHMENT

Step 1. Create a Sacred Space

Step 2. Make an Energy Sandwich

Step 3. Activate the Aura

Step 4. Choose Which Cord to Cut

Step 5. Locate the Cord

Locate a Cord by Questioning

One Simple Choice

See the Cord of Attachment

Step 8. Bandage to Rebalance

Step 9. Write the Dialog Box

Step 10. Discuss the Client’s Logical Consequences with the Cordee

Step 11. Discuss the Client’s Logical Consequences for Other Relationships

Step 12. Assign Homework

Before you can
cut
that cord of attachment, you had better
find
it. That’s not as hard as you might think. Step 5 presents you with four different techniques to choose from. You will be able to experiment one practice session at a time, using one of these techniques only, as I will soon explain.

Along with offering these cord location techniques, I’ll intersperse some practical ideas about the nature of Deeper Perception.

Besides finding your best way to locate a cord, Step 5 will help you to make one vital choice. Simple though it is, this choice affects whether you will do a mediocre job at cutting cords of attachment versus developing truly professional skills.

Unless doing an initial skim-read, pay close attention from here on out. Do each technique in this chapter. Much as you did with the three different techniques in Step 3, use our first technique the first time you go through this chapter as a practitioner. Read through until the heading, “See the Cord of Attachment.” Then go on to Step 6.

Second time you reach this chapter, skip forward to the second technique and do that instead, continuing until you reach “Feel the Cord of Attachment.” Then go on to Step 6.

For your fourth experiment in cord location, go straight for the heading, “Locate the Cord by Feeling It Inside Yourself” and proceed from there to the end of the chapter and beyond.

Numbers in the headings that follow will help you move forward to find each of these four techniques.

After you have explored all four of the techniques offered here, you will know which one(s) could be consider especially easy for you. In future, you can use that exclusively.

Techniques could be compared to clothing displayed at a store. On the page, a technique may not seem like much. But when you try it on, wow! That’s IT.

1. The “Questioning” Technique Can Help You to Locate a Cord

So many uses for one effortless technique!

TECHNIQUE: Locate a Cord by Questioning

By now, you have had experience with the “Questioning” technique. Well, that same process can help you to locate a cord of attachment.

1. Close your eyes.

2. Do the “Get Big” technique.

3. Set the intention to be of service to your client.

4. Ask a specific question inside, e.g., “Where is Romeo’s cord of attachment to his favorite hair stylist, Bob?”

5. Take 2-3 Vibe-Raising Breaths.

6. Accept whatever you experience next as your answer.

7. Close your eyes. Inwardly congratulate yourself, Courageous Explorer. One way or another, think, “Technique Complete.”

8. Open your eyes.

Yes, the “Questioning” technique is the simplest of our four methods for locating a cord.

But what if you do not feel confident with doing this? Simply go forward. It’s like riding a bike. Keep pedaling. Through movement, balance comes.

What if you tried to perfect your balance
before
you let yourself ride? Would you ever manage to ride at all? Balance is a process, not an object that can be acquired once and for all.

Remember, too, how you are literally taking your first rides as a healer with Rosetree Energy Spirituality. You have been advised to start by cutting cords that are relatively minor. Also, doing these first 10 practice sessions, you are either doing a trade with a buddy or working on yourself. This will be no high-pressure concert at Madison Square Garden. So relax, trust, and have some fun experimenting.

Q&A About Cord Location

Whether you find the location through “Questioning” or one of the other techniques that follows, certain fears are common for beginners. Let’s do some problem-solving about questions that might be bothering you right now.

Shouldn’t I just ask the client where the cord is?

Quality control—that’s why. If asked, most clients would guess at a cord location and (to put it bluntly) guess wrong. Do you want to base your services on information that may be inaccurate? Seek to empower your client in ways that cannot detract from quality control. Our 12 Steps are loaded with ways to do this.

What if you are wrong about the location of a cord? Say you are off by an inch or two. Could that ruin everything?

Remember who is teaming up here. You are cutting this cord along with a Divine Being who will compensate for any slight mistakes or inaccuracies. Just make a good faith effort as you co-create the healing.

I’d feel more secure if I could figure out the cord location logically. Like wouldn’t a cord to your mother usually be at your navel? Wouldn’t a lover usually attach at your sexual organs? Why should I use techniques to locate cords of attachment when you could have given me a simple chart?

Here’s a deeper explanation about why we locate a cord through experiential techniques rather than referring to some chart. It’s time to consider
states of consciousness,
the overall way that your mind-body-spirit functions.

Common examples of states of consciousness are when you are awake versus sleeping or dreaming. Beyond these three, some additional states of consciousness are available as well.

Knowledge is different in different states of consciousness. Let’s use the example of describing a bowl of spaghetti. Even half asleep, you could come up with an intelligent sentence about pasta. But contemplating that same bowl of spaghetti when wide awake, your words will be far more interesting.

This example shows the
potential
for higher states of consciousness. Content of conversation matters but so does consciousness. Very awake, you will be wiser than semi-awake, but you will still be functioning from the waking state of consciousness.

Whether groggy from a hangover or juiced up on a huge latte from Starbucks, in this example about Spaghetti Speak you are using variations on the waking state. This means your nervous system functions in a particular way.

The
waking state of consciousness
is an everyday, common-sense way of being in the world. Coming so naturally, this state of consciousness is usually taken for granted. Physiologically, lab tests show there are certain brain wave functions, breathing patterns, etc. corresponding to the waking state of consciousness.

Related to your state of consciousness when healing, you have....

One Simple Choice

Courageous Explorer, to be effective when you do a session of Rosetree Energy Spirituality, success depends upon being able to move into a higher state of consciousness.

That isn’t because your client can necessarily tell the difference. On the basis of words alone, a state of consciousness doesn’t show. Whether you talk about a cord of attachment or a strand of spaghetti, you might be half asleep.

Will other people notice if you walk around in a fuzzy version of the waking state of consciousness? Probably not, unless your eyes physically shut and you begin to snore. Discernment about consciousness takes someone who really pays attention in life, preferably an aura reader with full energy literacy.

But if you are dull inwardly,
you
will know. You are responsible for your state of consciousness, especially when doing surgery on somebody’s aura.

When it comes to cord cutting, it’s good to know that you are fully capable of working from higher consciousness rather than the ordinary waking state. Mostly it comes down to a simple choice. Are you willing to stretch yourself a bit?

This book is my way to team up with you, but I can’t pop off the screen to micromanage your choices. Only you can decide if you are willing to slow down, stretch yourself, and test all the techniques offered here.

Some readers, I know, would prefer a Cord cutting for Dummies approach. To them, nothing matters more than a quick-‘n-easy way to be able to say, “Sure, I can cut cords.”

Readers like this may wonder, “Why doesn’t Rose get to the cutting part, already?”

Here’s why. It takes time and intention to move into the state of consciousness for doing quality work.

Some people buy designer clothes that cost thousands of dollars; others shop at Wal-Mart. Economically, such choices are necessary. Spiritually, however, there is no reason to settle for anything but the best.

At this point, Courageous Explorer, you can skip forward to Step 6. Or stick around a bit longer to learn more about the deeper side of cord cutting.

Put Great Energy Into Rosetree Energy Spirituality

Rosetree Energy Spirituality requires that
concepts
about spirituality must be supplemented by subtle experiences of
energy.
Where does that awareness of energy come from? Simply use all the techniques in this skill set. They are designed to shift you into a higher state of consciousness than the everyday waking state.

These 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment are sequenced in a way that automatically moves you into that higher state for the duration of your healing session:

• Right from the time you began to create a sacred space, you have been lifting your vibrations.
  
• All the way through Step 12, you will work from the highest state of consciousness of which you are capable at your present stage of spiritual development.
  
• If you are working with a client, he will do the same. It’s a kind of contact high.
  

Courageous Explorer, trust the process. So long as you read and try each of the techniques, rather than speed-reading through them, you can develop awesome skill, both outwardly and inwardly. I hope you will give this wonderful process your best!

Now that you appreciate the importance of states of consciousness for cord cutting, you can understand why Step 5 has you use the “Questioning” technique or other techniques to locate a cord. Not only is it desirable for the sake of gaining high-quality information. The side effect is that using any of these techniques will serve to raise your level of consciousness during the healing session.

By using expanded awareness to locate a cord of attachment, instead of figuring things out from the waking state, you will do the best work of which you are capable. Bring on the clarity at finding cord items, your insights about the logical consequences for cutting this particular cord. You may even make a more inspired choice of homework at Step 12.

For My Fellow Consciousness Nerds

Eager to get practical again? Skip ahead to Step 6, no worries.

But linger a while if, like me, you are a bit of a consciousness nerd. So you would like to learn more about what it means to work from a higher state of consciousness.

Being awake is the usual, normal state of consciousness for a human. Within that state of consciousness, two altered states are quite easy to shift into... and without any big fanfare outwardly or fancy signpost inwardly.

1. Your
subconscious
mind collects all of the experiences of a lifetime, like making an inner video of all that happens to you. This vast amount of information lurks just beneath the surface of conscious awareness.

This corresponds to experiencing at the astral, or psychic, level. (Remember our discussion back in Step 2 about The Three Worlds? Any astral type of experience means that awareness has shifted to some portion of The Second World.)

2. Your
Higher Self
is a more expanded version of your personal mind.

This type of awareness wakes up within you whenever you actively co-create with a Divine Being.

When you Get Big, set an intention, and then use a technique to wake up more inside, you automatically slip into Higher Self consciousness.

This allows you to access the etheric, or spiritual, level. (To be technical, you are positioning your consciousness at the highest of the Three Worlds.)

Soon as you start the “Questioning” technique, for instance, your neurophysiological functioning begins to change. Automatically, you move into an altered version of the waking state of consciousness where you make the clearest possible contact with your Higher Self. When you take Vibe-Raising Breaths, awareness will go even deeper.

• As an advanced spiritual practitioner, you will need only a couple of breaths to recognize that familiar experience of being awake inside and as deep as you can be.
  
• If you are not such an advanced practitioner yet, at least you will go
  deeper
  inside.
  

Either way, the goal is for your answers to come from a relatively expanded state of consciousness.

Just How Far Within Will You Go?

Here’s where we come to the tricky part. Remember, your subconscious mind is inner and deeper, not only your Higher Self.

What would happen if you chose not to bother with the steps of the “Questioning” technique? What if, instead, you were to ask a question based on your regular, eyes-open, everyday state of consciousness?

Probably you would go within only slightly.

Consequently, the answer you received would come from your subconscious mind, just beneath the surface.

Such an answer could be triggered from past experiences, like memories, hopes and fears from your own personal storehouse of impressions. Sure, it’s a slightly higher state of consciousness than the waking state. But you can do so much better.
