to truly come into vertical alignment, we must clear our cords of attachment.
cords of attachment happen all the time, when we react to something, when we emotionally engage with another person, we also plug into positive emotions as well.
we do not realize how we attach to people, places, emotions, thoughts, and we are not aware of how others or our environment may attach to us.
over time these cords create a drain on our energy, our vitality, and we need to detach and release these cords in order to fully align with our truth and our highest good.

so let's begin.
imagine now, there are cords connected to you running out from you in every direction.
imagine these energy cords being plugged into a person, a place, an emotion, a thoughts, in the past, present and future. you may not even have a specific idea of what these cords are plugged into, but with your imagination and your intention, call your energy home: unplug these cords.
pull them out from whereever they are with force, use sound even to feel the sensation of unplugging.
like a retractable cord on a vacuum, your cords zips right back to you.
offer your gratitude and love to this cord, and ask for forgiveness from whereever the cord was plugged into, for our cord not only drains us but also whomever or whatever we were plugged into.
you may even gently touch all the areas on your body you imagine these cords returning to. maybe a cord was sent out from your right shoulder, your left knee, an elbow.
simply acknowledge the return of your energetic cord.

now we also need to release the cords of attachment that have plugged into us.
imagine taking hold of these plugs all over you, and pull them out, or maybe it's like peeling off a sticky tentacle. maybe it's just one big cord, and with all your might, you pull it out of you...
with sound and movement, imagine sending these cords away from you, sending them back to where they came from with forgiveness, love and gratitude.
this is important because we want to release the cords energetic hold on both ends.
with integrity we offer the intention for these cords be transformed with love to a higher vibration that will serve all.

take a deep breath here now, sit or stand up tall, feel the sensation of being cleared of cords of attachment.
practice this any time, when you feel triggered, or reactive, sensitive, emotionally engaged to someone or something, release and unplug.
come back to center with your breath, draw on the earth energy, and let the light of the cosmos clear you of all that does not serve your alignment and your well being.
even if you dont experience a miraculous shift at that moment, continue to practice, and you will learn to discern when you are being pulled horizontally, when you are not vertical in your alignment. it takes time and patience. this is work that will support and activate clear boundaries.

may you experiment with these meditations and exercises, and make them all your own. these are practices that have served me for many years, and have laid the foundation for deeper magical and spiritual work. blessings to you and your true alignment.
