Sometimes we stay connected to people, situations, or past experiences in ways that drain our energy. These unseen attachments, often called energetic cords, can keep us tied to pain, fear, or patterns that no longer serve us.
I’ve had to cut cords with people and situations that were part of my life for years. It wasn’t always easy, but it was necessary for my peace, growth, and freedom. Cutting cords doesn’t mean you don’t care or that you wish harm on anyone. It means you are choosing to take your energy back and create space for healing.
Crystals can support this process by helping you clear your energy, set boundaries, and stay grounded as you move forward.
Crystals for Cutting Energetic Cords
Selenite
Selenite helps cleanse your energy field and clear away attachments. I use it in almost every cord-cutting meditation I do. Gently sweeping Selenite around the body can help release stagnant or unwanted energy and bring clarity and light.
Black Kyanite
Black Kyanite is known for its sharp, cutting energy. It helps sever energetic cords while offering strong protection. Visualizing the cord being cut while holding Black Kyanite can help release what no longer belongs to you.
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz amplifies your intention and helps you stay focused on reclaiming your energy. It brings balance and supports your ability to move forward without being pulled back into old patterns.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is one of the best stones for setting and keeping healthy energetic boundaries. It strengthens your sense of safety and protection, helping you avoid creating new cords or reattaching old ones. Carrying or wearing Black Tourmaline can help you stay centered and grounded as you make new choices.
Rose Quartz
After cords are cut, there can be an emotional void or tenderness where that attachment once was. Rose Quartz supports emotional healing and self-love during this time. It reminds you to be gentle with yourself and to fill the space with kindness, compassion, and peace.
Simple Cord-Cutting Practice
Sit quietly and choose one or more crystals to support you.
Close your eyes and bring to mind the person, situation, or energy you are ready to release.
Hold a piece of Selenite or Black Kyanite in your dominant hand and sweep it across your body, visualizing it cutting the energetic cords connecting you to this person or situation. See the cord being cut as you say aloud or silently:
“I release this attachment. I take back my energy. I am free.”Visualize your energy returning fully to you as the crystal helps clear and balance your energy field.
Ground yourself by placing your feet on the floor and breathing deeply.
Use Rose Quartz or Black Tourmaline to soothe and protect your energy as you settle into this new space.
Drink water to help clear your system.
Rest if needed and give yourself time to notice how you feel in the hours and days that follow.
Cord-cutting is not a one-time event for most people. It can take repeated practice, especially with deeper ties. Be patient and kind to yourself. Let the crystals help you create space for healing, peace, and freedom. If you need further support, book a coaching session with me at https://crystalreikiwellness.as.me/discovery.
