I’ve had this title in my head for years, but the actual entry wasn’t fully formulated, so I just trusted that it wasn’t time π€·ββοΈ
For anyone new here: I write whatever comes through me. I trust the specific way it presents itself and the exact timing. I write more during some periods of life than others.
If I had to describe the “battle rhythm,” I would say I go through phases of living life, then phases of processing/integrating/sharing about it.
If I’m honest, I am healthiest and most fulfilled when my creative channel is open and I publish atleast one blog entry most days. When I’m in balance, this comes naturally to me and I’m often given the topic first thing when I wake up π
So anyways. ..what do I mean by “the template?”
When I say “we play to the template,” I’m referencing the energetic template or blueprint that we all carry in our energy fields.
Each person has a unique energetic signature that is theirs alone-
However, because we’re interconnected, there is a lot of overlap and communication that goes on between the different energy fields.
You can think of it as a dance, with different energies moving in and out of our field at all times, with some feeling lighthearted and fun and others a little more heavy or dense.
Without getting too sciency, this idea is based of a concept called quantum entanglement.
While energies are moving in and out at any given, there are also some that seem to stick around. Perhaps we’re just in resonance with them- or it’s in our highest good and ultimately for our soul’s growth and evolution to dance with this one or that one for a little longer.
There can also be what’s called an energetic cord of attachment. This is when two or more energy fields are connected by an energetic cord or rope. It is similar to an unbilical cord and can result in one or both people energetically siphoning the other one.
Cords can be from in this lifetime or previous lifetimes. Oftentimes they are formed during traumatic events, or result from relationships based on needs (parent-child, patient-caregiver, etc).
While cords shouldn’t be feared or shamed, I am of the belief that they are not conducive to freedom, autonomy, and well-being.
First of all, they are usually attached at the lower chakras: from each persons’ root or sacral chakra to the other.
The lower charas govern safety, security, and power. When cords are attached to the lower charas the relationship starts to feel codependent, addictive, and obligatory.
When I have been in relationships with energetic cords, I have personally felt needy, clingy, and even desperate.. .not fun!
So, what “should” connection look like at the energetic level -if not a bunch of cords?
Im my opinion, the ideal connection is from heart chakra to heart chakra. From that space, two people can freely give and receive from a place of love instead of obligation or need.
If you wondering if you have energetic cords with people in your life, you probably do!
I’m only saying this because I believe that we choose to incarnate with specific people- many of which we have past life karma or unfinished business to work out.
Sidenote: I am not one to believe we should spend all of this life trying to clear karma or endlessly doing healing work. In fact, that idea may actually be a psyop (psychological operation) to keep us looping in a slave state, and thus extremely disempowered. However, I have found it extremely helpful to clear cords when I do run across them, instead of continuing to play out the dysfunctional patterns that the cords create.
I feel pretty safe in saying that everyone could benefit from releasing cords between themselves and their immediate families, at a minimum. If you’re a parent, it wouldn’t hurt to release energetic engagement and enmeshment with the family you came from and the one you created.
This will help free everyone up to be the best version of themselves- and to access the sovereignty that is our birthright in this lifetime π
I actually scheduled a session for later this week with a healer who does shamanic work- including releasing cords. She’s helped me clear multiple cords, past life traumas, and even a few spells or curses over the past year π
I don’t usually share this type of personal work on the blog, but maybe it’s time to start π€
Depending on what is revealed, I may report back π
