Cutting Cords

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

What is Etheric Cord Cutting?

“Cords” are energy attachments we form that run back and forth between people, places, objects or situations. These cords are energy structures that connect into our energy bodies, OR it’s the extension of another person’s energy, connecting to you. See everything is made up energy, Your physical body and your spiritual body are made of energetic particles and waves. Unlike your physically body in which you can see and feel energy, some parts of you like your emotions, experiences thoughts and feelings have energy. These unseen energy attachments are usually fear based and unhealthy spiritual connections we form that bind us to the person or object from changing or leaving. These fear based cords intensify and grow larger when to connection to the situation has been developing over a longer period of time, so the largest cords that develop are usually related to parents, siblings, friends, co workers and long-term relationships.

These “cords” are also referred to as etheric cords. Etheric refers to the immediate or first layer in the “human energy field” or aura. We all have etheric cords that we create as ways to connect with things that are around us. These cords act as a direct connection to whom or whatever we have formed an attachment with. They provide us with accurate link to tap into that persons/objects energy source. These spiritual leashes have nothing to with love or positive aspects of relationships. They can no longer connect you in a positive way and become counter productive.

Cords can go both ways, either you can form the attachment or vice versa, someone could of formed an attachment to you. This is the essence of an energetic cord.

Have you ever felt a strong connection with someone or something? Perhaps a traumatic or painful event, or an ex best friend or partner who is no longer in your life, but you get them out of your mind, you still get consumed by the thought of them. You may try everything you can to stop thinking of this person but be unable to. If you are becoming distracted, obsessed, anxious, worried, jealous, or influenced by another, this is because there is still a cord between the two of you, and energetically you are still attached.

Cords can be beneficial, too! These cords include the bonding connection you have when you get into a new relationship or friends? Ever felt that need to text your sister or best friend only to pick up the phone to see a message from them, Or a loving, protecting bond between you and your mother, child or a pet? Etheric cords are essential to life, and as you can see, they are all not bad for you. They can be serving you well or serving you poorly. But if you find yourself obsessing and thinking about a situation or person for days, weeks and sometimes months ands years that is draining your vitality, You can look at energetically cutting the non serving etheric cords. Cutting these cords does not mean that you are ending or abandoning a relationship with a particular person or that you will lose contact. it’s releasing the unhealthy part of the relationship. Removing the negative energy between two people actually allows love to form and grow in a healthy way.

So how can we cut…

Identify what needs cutting. Think of a question or situation that you would like help with. Ask your spirit guides and angels (or any divine being that you connect with) to show you any energy cords. Once identified, visualise the cord connection between you and the person/object, feel how it makes you feel, keep your eyes shut here and imagine or sense what it looks like. Does this energy cord feel heavy, draining? Or does it feel light, healthy and loving? If the cord is unhealthy and draining than its time to release the connection.

If you choose to cut the cord, ask for assistance by your or Guardian Angel, Archangel Michael or Spirit Guide and set the intention by saying aloud or, in your mind.

“ I now cut all cords with unconditional love and compassion that are attached from me to any person, place, situation and object that no longer serves my highest good. Archangel Michael please cut all etheric cords attached to my aura that have been blocking and draining me in all directions of time. Please remove all negativity so I may re -align myself with my divine life path and higher self. Thank you “

Imagine white light surrounding you and a large sward cutting through the cords, release the fear, freeing you from the cords that are draining your energy and vitality. Sit quietly while you and Archangel Michael cuts your cords. He’ll send healing energy through the severed cords to both you and the other person.

Do not send your energy to them in the form of love and healing light, let them heal by there own means, as this could encourage cord reattachment!

There you have it! Happy cord cutting

Alkaline Vs Acidic Foods

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

 

If anyone reading this is like me and has over indulged over the past few weeks for the silly season and Christmas, you may be feeling (besides very guilty) bloated, lethargic and ” heavy”. Than its time to join me on a mini detox, to help with the sluggish metabolism and digestion. Now if you have been hearing all about this “ alkaline diet” in all the gossip mags, or possibly overheard girls in the tea room at lunch talking about this new “Fad diet” im going to give you a little run down on the basics and why its good for detoxing or making it a new permanent way of eating.

So, what’s the theory?

The theory is that the Ph balances within our body influences whether our bodies host a disease or helps fight off disease. A high acid diet can creates a breeding ground for disease, which can lead to poor health and chronic disease. If you, like me are gaining weight, craving carbs and sugar, wake up or frequently have a foggy brain than you are running too acidic.

The Run Down

This diet makes the body less susceptible to inflammation and disease whilst promoting increased energy, weight loss, stomach upsets indigestion and fights fatigue. It’s recommended that if you consume alkaline foods 80% of the time it can transform your life.

Acidic Vs Alkaline Foods

  • Foods that cause excess acidity include Meat, Dairy, Sugar, poultry, fish, eggs, grains, alcohol and flower ( All my favourite foods).
  • Alkaline foods consist of Vegetables, Fruits, Legumes , Nuts.

When talking about the alkaline diet, it is important to understand the meaning of the pH value. So as nurses ill give you a quick cheat sheet on what ph is. When talking about the alkaline diet, it is important to understand the meaning of the pH value. Put simply, the PH is a measurement of how acidic or alkaline something is. The pH value in the body ranges from 0 to 14

  • 0-7 is acidic. (Think of the acid in the stomach that brakes foods down)
  • 7 is neutral.
  • 7-14 is alkaline (your blood is more alkaline sitting around 7.35)

Now im keeping this simple because I am only taking on components if this diet to detox myself off the Christmas treats I have been scoffing down as of late. But if you want to read all about it and follow the diet down to a fine line here is a link to one of the many websites dedicated to this lifestyle choice Alkaline Diet

Examples of Alkalising Vegetables: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Lettuce, Onions, Peas, beans, sweet potato, Peppers, and Spinach, carrots and garlic.

Examples of Alkalising Fruits: Apple, Banana, Berries, rockmelon, Grapes, Melon, Lemon, Orange, Peach, Pear, Watermelon, pineapple and mango.

Alkalising Protein: Almonds, Chestnuts, cashews, and Tofu.

For an extensive list go to Alkaline – Acid food chart

Ready steady…. and juice

As of this week, im starting each morning with a smoothie made with fruits and veggies on the allowed list. Today I mixed up in my nutribullet, Blueberries, watermelon, pineapple, celery, pear, apple and carrot and let me tell you I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this earlier. It was so refreshing especially in this heat wave (Temperature already reaching 28o at 6 am) I couldn’t of started eating healthier at a better time.

Lunch time I had roasted sweat potato, garlic, carrot and broccoli

And for dinner I had zucchini pasta ( yes made with a red wine and garlic pasta sauce) with a side of cauliflower mash.

Its only been 3 days and I can tell you I already feel lighter, my stomach no longer looks like Uncle Francis beer gut and I found im getting my spring in my step. You don’t have to completely change your lifestyle, I still sit at star bucks before work each morning with my sugar free vanilla latte and read my book, but im choosing not to add my buttery raisin toast to add with it, and now I make a conscious choice when I grab for snacks also when I go food shopping.

However, you might want to consider some of these extra tips to get you back on track while detoxing.

Here we go….

Hydration

Everything is influenced by the quantity of the water you drink. Getting adequately hydrated will make a huge difference to your health, immunity, energy and vitality. So gulp up, flush those Christmas puddings out! Aim for 6 to 14 cups a day, remember not to overdo it, listen to your body and never force it!

Transition

Take it slowly! It is far better to transition and get there slowly, by sticking to it for the long-term rather than being perfect for a day or two and then crashing (which is what I normally do eek)

Supplements.

Supplements are another effective way to assist your body in returning to its healthful state, Supplements are great at replacing lost nutrients with vitamins and minerals to give your immune system a boost.

So good luck and happy detoxing, if you have any handy tips or ideas please comment below.
