I occasionally do a ritual to cut any unhealthy connections that bind me to other people, through what Huna mysticism refers to as the aka cords. These etheric threads of energy, allow us to form close bonds and communicate unconsciously with one another across time and space…

The Cords Of Intimacy
People who are deeply and intimately involved have thicker cords connecting them. It’s why people who’ve been together a really long time, often know unconsciously what the other is thinking or feeling without them saying anything, let alone being in the same location. And over the years, what we come to know as soul mates are people so deeply attached, they become as one soul residing in two bodies or more.

Only people with whom you share a close and loving relationship or those you trust with your heart to care, in offering you only the purest of thoughts and energies are worth staying connected to in my opinion.. But there aren’t so many people with really pure intentions or thoughts, so sometimes it’s best to disconnect, atleast for a little while, while you regain your strength and personal power. Then, there are types who play with those ‘heart strings’ becoming energy vampires and slowly sapping away at your life force.  They are usually just lonely and insatiable souls, looking for someone or something to fill their emptiness. The effect that may have on you, is that you may feel suddenly overwhelmed and exhausted without any physical or emotional cause.

Sometimes you may feel  like your mind is running a mile a minute and fleeting images of people you’ve  come across in your day-to-day interactions or from your past arise.  You can usually pinpoint the draining source, by closing your eyes, entering into a meditative state and observing closely the face or faces of the people that appear. You may discover that you are still carrying the residual energy from an ex-lover or even your own mother.  In which case, disconnecting the cords and a thorough cleansing of your chakras can quickly resolve that.

Thoughts Connect Us
The aka or energy cords connect us to all things in this universe. When you think a thought about someone, you send out one of these cords which is why it’s important to be mindful of the thoughts you think. You could be randomly sending very negative energy to someone, a form of black magick, causing harm unto them unintentionally. People capture the thoughts others communicate unconsciously, because they are like radio transmitters, sending and receiving vibrations all around them . If you’re energy is out of balance, that can be transferred to someone like a virus, which is why I always say you’ve got to clean up your environment before connecting with others. And if you’ve attracted one of those psychic leeches, you may become one to those you connect with by mere association.

I know this may all sound a little crazy. After all, you’ve come across countless number of people in your life, so how can you possibly disconnect from all of them? Well, you don’t necessarily have to, because over time, the cords begin to fade, particularly if it’s someone you haven’t thought about in a really long time or someone you never had a strong connection with to begin with. But then, there were times in your life where you did develop a closeness with someone who may not have had the best of intentions. Maybe they broke your heart or betrayed you and you’re still lugging their energy around. If you think about them and you feel a pain or tension in your body, that’s a pretty sure sign you’ve got cords attached.

The Aura & Cutting Cords
Sometimes when i look at a person’s aura, I can see strings of what looks like spaghetti, cords going left, right, every which way.  And it’s particularly evident around people with one too many sexual exploits, where their aura becomes tainted with what others have left behind. Sexual energy, is the most powerful human force. If misused with hidden motives or to indulge one’s selfish primal nature, it can leave behind a slew of toxic impurities, causing some people’s auras to become darkened and polluted cesspools, as opposed to the energy of a fresh mountain spring. I’m not suggesting by any means that sex is impure, it’s just that we’ve got to become aware of the energy we transfer and that which we capture.

There are different methods to cutting the chords. I will usually send off a blast of energy to whoever I was attached to, filling them with white or blue light of unconditional love and healing, before  I imagine the cord  dissolving.

Another effective tool that helps the disconnection process is to learn to enter into deep trance or meditative states, which naturally amplify the imagination, leading to clearer mental pictures and a more visceral experience.

On a final note, I highly recommend chakra cleansing as a part of a healthy spiritual diet.That way you are sure to be running your own energy and not someone else’s.
