Signs of Negative Energetic Cords Holding You Back

Negative energetic cords are one of my favourite things to work on with my clients. The relief and the shift that clients experience are incredible to watch.

We all have cords, both positive and negative.

It’s also wonderful to share with clients what their positive cords are helping with and supporting in their lives. I love checking what Universal cords are working with. These do change from time to time as you shift and move through life, but it’s so nice to see and know that the Universe is listening and always has your back.

As for the negative cords, though, they can create messes in our lives, suck the life out of us and weigh us down.

Negative cords are not as strong as positive cords. One positive cord is 9xs more powerful than a single negative cord, but the state of the world and people’s lack of consciousness creates a web for us to walk through every day. The number of negative cords is rising, but so are the positive ones to help us out with these crazy times.

We can also get cords from situations, media, and places, not just people.

When we have a strong aura or overcome situations, negative cords will naturally let go, but we as humans are so stressed out, busy, and all over the place; we usually have too much on our plates, making it hard for the negative cords to let go naturally on their own.

Over time, they pile up.

Have you ever wondered if you have negative cords?

Here is a quick summary of some signs and symptoms clients experience when they have too many negative cords…

Constantly Feeling Fatigued

Negative cords are energetically taxing. When we have too many, we need to carry that energetic weight around, and it can feel like our bodies are way heavier than they actually are.

Depending on where these cords stem from, they can also drain us of energy. If they are linked to someone who is an energy vampire or gets under our skin on a regular basis, energy is taken from you and given to that person.

In situations where we are constantly repeating something that happened over and over again in our heads, we are also establishing a cord to it and losing energy to that particular situation. We are essentially feeding it.

Sudden and Unexplained Anxiety & Depression

Negative cords can cause mood swings. Most notably, sudden spikes in anxiety and depression without warning.

More than likely, this cord is attached to something on the other end that is feeding us its energy, the good and the bad. If it’s attached to a person and they have a panic attack, we may feel their anxiety. If it’s attached to a place and there is bad news that happens there, we can experience the sadness being felt there. It might feel like we have no control over our emotions. Most clients report that they know the feeling is not theirs, but they cannot help but be overwhelmed by it.

The anxiety can also come from feeling the cord being activated in some way, and depression can be the ‘come down’ from the cord.

Dreaming About People or Events From the Past Often

This comes up A LOT with clients who constantly dream about their exes still. It’s because there is still a cord attached to the person.

Past partners and encounters can also create cords if they are prominent enough in our energy.

“Silly” recurring dreams can also come from cords, like the ones where we dream of always being late, teeth falling out, being chased, etc. They are usually linked to a stressor or a situation in our lives that we have a cord to and are still hanging on to.

Low Immune Function

If your energy is constantly being drained from forces unseen, this will eventually show through in your immune function. We cannot recover and shield ourselves when we are always running on empty. We get weak all over.

We can also have cords from previous sicknesses and illnesses still stuck to us that can become activated. This is common with people who are frequently sick or have the same recurring issues.

I also see these types of cords a lot when a whole household has been battling a cold or virus.

In the winter months, these types of cords also pop up a lot because of the attention, worry, and concern that sickness gets during that time.

Obsessive or Intrusive Thoughts

Having thoughts that you know are not your own is a sure sign that you have negative cords stuck to you. It creates a connection between you and either the person or the situation, and from time to time, it can interfere with our thought processes.

Many people report sudden, out-of-the-blue phrases or negative affirmations that pop into their heads when dealing with too many negative cords, especially when they are stuck to the head.

Some will even get slammed with random visions throughout the day, leaving them wondering where the hell that came from or what they watched or listened to that day for a visual like that to pop into their head.

Many of these actually come from media and social media. We are constantly being bombarded with information and pressure through ads, influencers, the news, and impactful headlines. The media is a big culprit with negative cords.

I’m looking at you, disassociative scrollers.

Seeking Constant Comfort in Excess

But it’s never enough, or you always need to up it more.

If you have too many negative cords, you may find yourself always craving and seeking comfort. It will work, but you will always need more for it to work. You will be uncomfortable the majority of the time.

This can create scenarios of overconsumption, obsession, and addictive behaviours. You will NEED the thing that you know has brought you comfort previously. People will get hooked on that comfort, and it can be something as simple as food, substances, media, scrolling, disassociation, or even supplements or medication. Literally, anything that we can find comfort in.

You cannot fill your cup when there are too many cords; something or someone is always taking it from you.

An example of this was a client of mine who said she had become addicted to watching the same TV series over and over again. She said it brought her a great deal of comfort because of the laughs and humour (it was a sitcom), but over time she found she needed to watch more and more of it, well into the night, to get the ‘hit’. It was starting to affect her sleep. Her cord was not attached to the sitcom but rather was a way to self-medicate from the numerous negative cords that were attached to her heart chakra and higher heart chakra. Her joy was being sucked from her, and she needed to fill it somehow. She knew this sitcom would bring her laughs and joy, which is why she clung to it and always needed more.

Once those cords were cleared, she was able to move on to the things that actually brought her joy, such as painting, walks, reading, and being more present with her family.

Having your cords cleared regularly can bring about feelings of calm, light, and relief. Many report a pressure or a weight being lifted from them.

I have also had some clients experience CRAZY shifts, such as losing a job but immediately finding something better or realizing that the job was a major contributing factor to many of their problems.

Physical purging can also happen with cords that have been established in the body for years. It’s our body and energy’s way of clearing the residue it’s left behind and to begin the healing process.

Regardless of what shifts or how your body reacts, having your cords cleared and learning about your positive ones can be an energetic hack for creating positive shifts in your life.
