Energy Strands

1. Everything is Interconnected by Invisible Energy Strands

Even if you can’t see the cords, strands, and filaments of energy that connect us to everything in the Universe, they’re still there.

Life is energy. At a fundamental level, all life—from mountains to thoughts—is composed of constantly changing energy. We are immersed in an ocean of energy, and our present-day concept of a fixed, separate universe is at odds with this primordial insight. Everything has consciousness, and we are intimately connected to this living, pulsating universe.

Invisible connections. Energy strands are invisible yet genuine lines of energy and communication that link us to people, places, things, and even ideas. These connections can be thin and transient, or thick and enduring, sometimes spanning lifetimes. Strong emotions like love and fear, physical sensations, and even knowledge can transmit through these linkages.

Affinity is key. These energy attachments, also called "affinity strands," form when there's a frequency match or inherent likeness between you and another entity. They can be positive, increasing your energy, or negative, depleting it. Highly intuitive individuals and shamans can often perceive these strands, which commonly emanate from the chakras.

2. Your Energy Strands Profoundly Influence Your Well-being

Energy can ebb and flow through these links.

Constant exchange. When two people interact, malleable energy filaments link them, allowing information, emotions, and energy frequencies to transfer. This exchange can be energizing or depleting. If you feel exhausted after a conversation while the other person seems revitalized, it could be a one-way energy drain.

Far-reaching impact. These strands connect you to almost everyone you've ever been in a relationship with, from family and friends to past lovers and even casual acquaintances. They can stretch across vast distances, allowing you to sense another person's emotions, pain, or thoughts.

• Family strands: Can transmit trauma through generations, influencing fears or behaviors.
• Lover strands: Intense emotional and sexual bonds create powerful, durable cords that can linger for decades if not cleared.
• Stranger strands: Brief encounters in crowds can lead to temporary energy attachments, causing fatigue or unusual dreams.

Beyond people. Your energy is also connected to wild animals, totem animals, the earth, past events, past lives, commitments, ideas, the collective unconscious, and even objects in your home. These diverse connections constantly influence your energy field, shaping your emotions, thoughts, and overall vitality.

3. Recognize the Symptoms of Draining Energy Attachments

There are often symptoms that go along with any depleting strands that are hooked into you.

Chronic exhaustion. A persistent feeling of being drained and tired, without a clear physical cause, can indicate that debilitating strands are siphoning off your life-force energy. This can be from a person, place, or even an unresolved past event.

Uncharacteristic patterns. You might experience emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that feel alien to you. These could be patterns absorbed from others through energy cords.

• Sudden depression after entering a new apartment, reflecting a previous occupant's despair.
• Developing irrational fears or obsessive habits after interacting with someone who exhibits them.
• Experiencing a friend's emotional roller coaster as your own, due to strong emotional cords.

Obsessive thoughts and feelings. Lingering on past incidents, replaying conversations, or constantly checking on an ex-partner are strong indicators of unhealthy attachment strands. These can clog your inner circuitry, making it difficult to be present and balanced. Sympathy pains, uncharacteristic anger, or a pervasive sense of hopelessness can also signal heavy cording.

4. Understand the Deeper Roots of Your Energy Strands

Nothing can attach to you unless on some level there is an energy match.

Vibrational alignment. From a spiritual perspective, the exact kinds of strands attached to you are not accidental; there is always a vibrational match. If you are a "victim" of an energy vampire, it's possible that something within you, like a lack of personal boundaries or a subconscious belief of not having enough, attracted them.

Personal responsibility. While often unconscious, you bear some responsibility for the attachments you have, even the unhealthy ones. These connections can serve as opportunities for spiritual growth, helping you to confront unowned qualities or unresolved issues within yourself. For instance, judging someone's anger might stem from your own suppressed anger.

No demon spawn. Avoid harshly judging those you wish to detach from. Strong judgment creates its own negative energy strands, making release difficult. Compassion and understanding, even for those who have wronged you, are crucial. Releasing judgment allows you to truly clear their energy from your field, rather than having it reattach.

5. Release Draining Strands with Intentional Clearing Methods

To truly be free, you need to heal and resolve underlying issues that have precipitated the attachments.

Conscious intent. Randomly cutting strands without a clear intention or understanding their underlying reasons can cause energy imbalance. The process requires conscious awareness, respect for the sacred, and a willingness to address the root causes to prevent reattachment.

Potent techniques. A variety of methods can effectively sever or diminish depleting cords. These range from physical actions to powerful visualizations and spiritual invocations:

• Cutting Strands: Using physical or nonphysical shears, knives, or crystals with clear affirmations like "What is mine is mine. What is yours is yours."
• Wrap, Pull, and Ground: Imagining wrapping your hand around a cord, gently pulling it out like a weed, and grounding it into the earth.
• Spirit Pruning: Invoking spiritual guides or archangels (like Michael) to cut unneeded ties with a flaming sword of light.
• Violet Flame/Golden Light: Visualizing a violet flame transmuting negative energy or golden light dissolving unhealthy cords and strengthening positive ones, often involving communication with the higher self of the other person and forgiveness.

Sensory and energetic tools. Other methods leverage sound, scent, and natural elements:

• Dowsing and Dissolving: Using a pendulum to identify and then dissolve cords with focused light.
• Feathers: Employing feathers with flicking and sweeping motions to cut and smooth energy.
• Smudging: Using smoke from burning herbs (sage, cedar) to purify and release negative energy.
• Salt: Scrubbing with salt, taking salt baths, or creating salt circles for purification and grounding.
• Breath of Fire: Rapid, rhythmic breathing to dislodge stagnant cords.
• Bells/Singing Bowls: Using their vibrations to shatter stagnant energy and restore balance.

6. Protect Your Energy Field with Conscious Shielding Techniques

Energy protection is a very strong energy field around you that allows what is “yours” to be yours . . . and what is “theirs” to be theirs.

Setting boundaries. Shielding creates a strong energy field around you, establishing clear boundaries between your energy and others'. This is crucial for empaths or anyone feeling drained, allowing you to remain in your own energy without mingling with external influences.

Strategic application. While the deepest spiritual truth suggests oneness, practical human experience often necessitates protection. Shielding is advisable when you feel vulnerable, fearful, or when encountering overbearing individuals or psychic attacks. It's a practical step, like wearing a seatbelt, even while trusting in a larger protective force.

Diverse methods. Various techniques can create a protective mantle:

• White Light: Visualizing an egg-like sphere of sparkling white light around you, deflecting negativity.
• Talismans: Carrying blessed objects, crystals (e.g., black tourmaline, obsidian), or herbs (sage, rosemary) for protection.
• Shielding Visualization: Imagining a strong, lightweight shield (like a Roman or Viking shield) made of light and energy around your body.
• Mirrors: Envisioning yourself inside a mirrored ball, reflecting negative energy back to its source.
• Crystals: Using specific crystals (e.g., black tourmaline) for sweeping your aura or placing them strategically.
• Sea Salt: Sprinkling salt, taking salt baths, or using salt lamps to absorb and neutralize negative energies.
• Protection Tree: Adopting a tree and forming an energetic bond for grounding and protection.
• Essential Oils: Inhaling or misting protective oils (e.g., cedarwood, frankincense, juniper) to create an energetic shield.
• Meditation & Visualization: Strengthening your energy field through focused visualization, like a "cosmic zipper" sealing your aura.
• Prayers & Mantras: Invoking divine protection through prayers (e.g., Lord's Prayer) or mantras (e.g., "Namu Amida Butsu").
• Mudras: Using specific hand and body postures to activate protective energy.
• Spirit Helpers: Calling upon angels, spirit guides, or ancestors for safeguarding.
• Earthing: Connecting directly with Mother Earth (barefoot, lying down) to ground and neutralize unwanted energies.

7. Strengthen Empowering Strands for Greater Vitality

What you focus on is what increases in your life.

Focus on the positive. Instead of dwelling on what you don't want, consciously direct your attention to what you desire. This energy rule dictates that where intention goes, energy flows, leading to an increase in positive experiences and connections.

Communion cords. These special strands connect you to loved ones, family, pets, and spiritual realms, providing comfort and a sense of belonging. When clear and luminous, they facilitate easy flow of love, information, and emotions. Regular "tune-ups" can clear vibrational interference, ensuring these vital connections remain strong and vibrant.

Daily practice. Cultivate practices that consistently raise your frequency and expand your positive strands:

• 21 Days to Sumptuous Strands: A daily meditation to visualize radiant, clear, and strong cords with a beloved.
• Tune in: Start each day by centering and grounding, tapping into inner peace to strengthen your energy field.
• Distance yourself: Physically step away from draining people or situations to create personal boundaries.
• See through others' eyes: Cultivate compassion by trying to understand others' perspectives, softening negative polarities.
• Visualize your day: Spend a few minutes envisioning a relaxed, energized day, focusing on joy and deleting limiting thoughts.

8. Transform Your Home into a Sanctuary for Your Soul

The energy in your home affects the energy of your life.

Home as a template. Your home environment is the single most important influence on your energy strands. It acts as an intersection between your inner and outer realities, capable of attracting or repelling energy. A harmonized home can be a sanctuary for renewal, hope, and peace, radiating love and light to the world.

Clutter clearing. Every object in your home has an energy strand connecting to you, influencing your frequency. Clutter creates a "mishmash of cords" that can jam your energy, leading to exhaustion and overwhelm. Releasing items with negative associations or those you don't love or use is crucial for clearing these energetic blockages.

• Clutter is a signpost for deeper emotional issues (fears, unresolved childhood issues).
• Clearing clutter frees emotional blockages and allows energy to flow.
• The meaning you invest in objects, not the objects themselves, impacts your cords.

Space clearing. Ancient techniques, adapted for modern use, can transform your home's energy. These rituals release stagnant energy, invoke joy, and create a template of clarity.

• Preparation: Hydrate, remove jewelry, focus intention, sensitize hands, and go slow.
• Process: Stand at the entrance, break up stagnant energy with tools (bells, drums, essential oils), smooth the energy, invoke blessings, and seal the room with a figure eight.
• Tools: Bells, singing bowls (Tibetan, crystal), shamanic drumming, and rattles are powerful for purifying spaces and personal energy fields.

Altar creation. Establishing a home altar, whether religious or simply a collection of meaningful objects, provides a spiritual backdrop for your home. It acts as a beacon, calling spiritual assistance and radiating sparkling energy, strengthening your strands to the Universe and infusing your living space with cosmic order.
