A spear cutting through a spiritual cord — Cord cutting ceremony

“Some souls walk with us for a chapter, not a lifetime.”

Some souls are sacred checkpoints on our soul’s journey—profound, purposeful, and deeply transformative.

They enter our lives with love and purpose—to help us grow, heal, and remember who we are on our path. But as we evolve, so too can the energy between us. What once felt supportive may become draining, painful, or confusing.

Every soul we meet has as a reason for being part of our journey. In the realms beyond this life, we make sacred agreements with members of our soul family to cross paths in this incarnation—to teach, to heal, to challenge, or to awaken us. But not all connections are meant to stay. Once their purpose is complete, the loving act is not to cling, but to release. Once that lesson is learned, we’re not meant to hold on if the connection begins to hurt us. If we continue, we can be entangled in a toxic merry-go-round that keeps us in a low vibration.

Letting go and cutting the energetic cord that binds you, is not failure—it is freedom. It is a profound act of self-love and spiritual alignment. When a connection becomes toxic or hinders your growth, it is a sign your soul is ready to rise. Letting go doesn’t mean the bond was meaningless. It means its purpose has been fulfilled.

When a relationship turns toxic or keeps you stuck, it’s a sign it’s time to release it with love.

Honor the journey. Honor the lessons. Most of all—honor yourself by choosing peace over pain, and freedom over fear.

It's time to release the bonds and soul connection with love, along with an acknowledgment and gratitude for the lessons it brought to your life.

In my Reiki practice, one of the most transformative rituals I offer is a Reiki cord cutting ceremony—a sacred energetic release that helps you sever spiritual cords and dissolve soul contracts with someone who no longer serves your highest good.

What Are Spiritual Cords and Soul Contracts?

Spiritual cords are invisible energetic ties that form between people. These cords can transmit love, support, and connection—but when a relationship turns toxic, they can also carry anger, guilt, fear, and unresolved pain.

Soul contracts are spiritual agreements made on a soul level, often before we incarnate, to learn certain lessons together. But once the lessons are complete, the contract may become burdensome, keeping you tethered to karmic patterns you’ve outgrown.

Signs It’s Time to Cut the Cord

You feel emotionally drained or anxious after interacting (or even thinking about) the person.
You're stuck in repetitive patterns or reliving past wounds.
You’ve already physically left the relationship, but still feel bound energetically.
Dreams, intrusive thoughts, or intense emotions connected to this person persist.
Your intuition tells you: It’s time.

The Power of Reiki in Cord Cutting

Reiki is a gentle, yet deeply effective way to support the cord cutting process. It raises your vibration, clears stagnant energy, and connects you to your higher self for clarity and peace.

During a Reiki cord cutting session, I guide you through:

Grounding and Intention Setting: Anchoring into your body and spiritual support system (guides, angels, ancestors).
Aura Scanning: Using Reiki to identify where energetic cords are attached.
Calling in Archangel Michael (or your preferred protector): His sword of light is often invoked to assist in cutting and clearing.
Cord Cutting Visualization: Guided meditation and breathwork as I direct Reiki to sever the cords with compassion and finality.
Soul Contract Release: We energetically acknowledge and dissolve the outdated soul agreement, freeing you both.
Chakra Sealing and Aura Repair: Reiki helps close energetic holes and restore balance.
Affirmation & Integration: We end with grounding affirmations and self-love practices to anchor the shift.

People who choose this particular healing session often feel relief, clarity and an instant catapult forward.

There’s something truly beautiful about the way our bodies and spirits communicate. Often, we feel tired, off-balance, anxious—or even disconnected from ourselves—but can’t always explain why. That’s where Reiki and chakra healing come together in such a gentle, transformative way.

Whether you're just beginning to explore energy healing or have been walking your spiritual path for a while, understanding how Reiki supports chakra alignment can offer deep insights into your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

As a Reiki Master Teacher in Barrhaven, Ottawa, I’ve seen how this practice brings people back to their center—with compassion, clarity, and calm

💫 What Are Chakras?

Chakras are energy centers within the body, each connected to different emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of our being. There are seven main chakras, aligned along your spine—from the base to the crown of your head.

Each chakra is like a spinning wheel of energy. When they’re open and flowing, we often feel aligned, grounded, creative, expressive, and connected. But when energy becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can show up as physical discomfort, emotional stress, or even a sense of disconnection.

Here’s a quick overview of the chakras:

Root – Grounding, safety, stability
Sacral – Creativity, pleasure, emotional flow
Solar Plexus – Confidence, personal power
Heart – Love, compassion, forgiveness
Throat – Communication, truth, self-expression
Third Eye – Intuition, clarity, insight
Crown – Spiritual connection, higher self, unity

🌿 How Reiki Supports Chakra Healing

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that channels universal life force energy through the practitioner’s hands. During a session, Reiki naturally flows to the places in your body and energy field that need it most. Often, this means helping to unblock or balance the chakras.

You might come in feeling heavy, anxious, or even unsure why you feel "off," and leave with a sense of peace, clarity, or lightness. Reiki doesn't force or push; it listens to your body’s wisdom. It nurtures.

Each session is different, because you are different each day.

🌿 What Might Chakra Imbalance Feel Like?

Here’s how imbalances might show up, and how Reiki may help:

Root chakra imbalance: You may feel anxious, unsafe, or disconnected from your body. Reiki can help you feel grounded and held.
Heart chakra blockage: You might struggle with trust, grief, or self-love. Reiki brings warmth, compassion, and emotional release.
Throat chakra blockage: Difficulty speaking your truth or feeling unheard?

Reiki invites gentle energy to help you open up and express yourself.

Sometimes, clients cry during a session—not from sadness, but from release. The body remembers, and Reiki helps it let go.

🌿 Realignment Brings Renewal

When your chakras are balanced, it doesn’t mean life is perfect or pain-free. But it does mean you’re more in tune—with your needs, your boundaries, your joy. Reiki doesn’t fix us because we are never broken. It simply brings us back to ourselves.

Whether you receive Reiki from a practitioner or practice self-Reiki, tuning into your chakra system can deepen your awareness and connection to your own inner wisdom.

🌿 A Gentle Invitation

If you're curious about your own energy, I invite you to sit quietly, hand over your heart, and ask yourself:

Where am I holding tension?

Where am I ready to soften?

You don’t have to know the answers right away. Reiki meets you where you are—with kindness, with grace, and without judgment.

May your energy flow freely, and may your healing unfold gently, in its own perfect time.
