Sometimes, after a relationship ends, many of us struggle to let go. Clients often describe feeling haunted or even possessed by their ex-partners, who are likely not thinking about them at all and are happily moving on with new relationships. It's as if the ex has left an indelible mark on their hearts, making it hard to move forward. The energy of the ex can manifest in various ways, such as omens or reminders in daily life (like a song lyric) or even as a visitor in dreams.
When a relationship ends, the emotional aftermath can be overwhelming. According to a study by the Journal of Positive Psychology, it takes an average of 11 weeks to feel better after a breakup, but for some, the emotional scars can last much longer (Sbarra & Emery, 2005). This lingering attachment can feel like an emotional haunting, where the ex-partner's presence is felt in everyday life, from hearing a familiar song to dreaming about them.
There are various methods people use to cleanse themselves of an ex's lingering energy. These range from burning sage to clear the room of negative vibes to discarding every reminder of the ex, including the bed. However, before you go to such extremes, consider trying a technique known as "Cutting the Cord."
The idea behind "Cutting the Cord" is that when we connect with someone, we form an energetic bond at the solar plexus, the area just below the diaphragm. This bond, often visualized as a rope of light, remains even after the person has left. The person left behind may continue to fortify this rope with their psychic energy, hoping to bring the ex back. This energy can be likened to a psychic vampire, who feeds off the energy being sent their way, even if it's negative.
To prevent yourself from being drained by this psychic vampire, try the following exercise:
Interestingly, one side effect of this exercise is that the other person may sense the detachment and come back to see where their source of energy has gone. This exercise not only improves your astral health but can also bring the ex back, if that's what you desire.
Research shows that emotional detachment can significantly improve mental health. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that individuals who practiced emotional detachment techniques experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression (Kross et al., 2011). This suggests that exercises like "Cutting the Cord" can have tangible benefits for emotional well-being.
Letting go of an ex can be a challenging process, but techniques like "Cutting the Cord" can help you reclaim your emotional freedom. By visualizing and severing the energetic bond, you can move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind. Remember, the goal is to focus on your well-being and not to dwell on the past.

By understanding and applying these techniques, you can take significant steps toward emotional freedom and well-being.
