Hello everyone, welcome to this episode of the Mindful in Minutes podcast.
Happy almost Halloween, if you celebrate, if you've been here for a while, you know
the last few years we have been doing kind of a more fun woo woo spiritual practice every
year around Halloween.
And this year I wanted to share one that was a Patreon exclusive a couple years back,
and it was just too good not to share on the main feed as well.
And it is a meditation practice for cord cutting.
So this is a practice you can do if you have energetic ties to someone or something, and
you want to really energetically just cut the cord and have that big full release.
So this is a cord cutting meditation, and I hope you love it.
Hello beautiful subscribers, thank you so much for being here and for supporting my
work in this way.
This month's bonus meditation is going to be a cord cutting meditation.
So what this is, is basically if you feel like there's anything that you really want
to let go of, or something that just is kind of stuck to you, or that you keep holding
on to or dragging around and it just like, you can't quite release it, it may feel like
we have this like energetic cord or tether to this thing.
So cord cutting is like a meditation or a visualization that you can do to really like
sever that tether, and to just like completely release it once and for all.
So this is a guided practice for that.
So the first thing that you'll want to do is come to a comfortable position.
Maybe creating a long spine, softening the shoulders, and taking a mental scan of any
areas in your body where you can feel tension.
Maybe it's in your jaw, maybe it's in your abdomen, maybe it's somewhere else.
Tune into these areas and really let them soften and release.
And now in your mind's eye, visualize or maybe even speak out loud the thing that you're
ready to release or cut the cord to.
It can be anything, a person, a situation, a feeling, self-sabotage, it can be anything.
Get a clear picture of this thing in your mind, just pick one.
And see that thing out in front of you.
Visualize it, get a clear picture.
And now notice where you feel this tether connected to your body.
There's no right or wrong answer here.
It could be connected anywhere.
Just intuitively think, where is it connected to me?
Where do I feel this thing the most in my body?
And now see the tether, see the thing in front of you that's connected by whatever you want
this tether or cord to look like.
Visualize it.
Maybe it's made of rope, maybe it's more like a chain, maybe it's something else.
Again, don't second guess the details.
See the tether.
Notice what it feels like to have this thing still connected to you.
And take a moment to reflect upon why you're ready now to release it.
And now look at this cord.
You can tell yourself three times, I am no longer connected to you.
And on that third time, you can visualize cutting that cord somehow.
Maybe with a big pair of golden scissors.
Maybe you burn the cord in half.
Maybe a little laser comes through.
And cuts it in half.
Doesn't matter.
Intuitively think about what is the way that this cord needs to be severed, so it's gone.
And take your time, visualize.
It may take a little bit of time for that cord to fully be cut.
Visualize the cutting of this cord.
If you need some extra help, just continue to tell yourself, I am no longer attached to you.
Or I am no longer tethered to you.
Taking a few final moments if you need it.
To really cut through that cord.
And then you see it completely cut.
And it's gone.
You're no longer connected to this thing.
No longer can it energetically be tied to you.
It's gone.
And notice how it feels to have released this thing to cut the cord.
Notice how this feels for you.
Are there any shifts or changes that you've noticed?
And then bringing your awareness back to the space where that tether was connected to you.
And here visualize a white or golden light, your choice, shining down on this area.
Where your half of the cord was.
Visualize this light doing any healing, any restoration,
any last lingering connection, anything that's there.
Let this light shine down on that part of your body.
Doing any clearing or healing or restoration that you need right now.
Just taking a few final moments.
Doing any of that last little bit of clearing or healing or restoration.
And taking a few deep breaths.
Letting it all go.
That spot is healed.
It's gone.
It's just you.
Just continue to breathe down deep into your belly.
Just noticing how it feels to be free of this tether.
Telling yourself three times, I am no longer connected to you.
And taking a big deep breath in through the nose.
And open mouth, exhale, sigh it out, letting go.
And then when you're ready, just blinking your eyes open
and completing your meditation practice.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
