Find a quiet place where you can be alone and undisturbed. Begin by taking three deep, cleansing breaths in through your nose, and exhale slowly and firmly through your mouth.
One effective method to achieve this is through energetic cord clearing, which helps detach from negative influences.
As you breathe, you may wish to silently say to yourself:
Breathing in the breath of Life and breathing out all stress and tension.
Breathing in healing and breathing out disease.
Breathing in light and breathing out any stuck emotions.
Close your eyes and ask Archangel Michael to be with you and assist you. Allow yourself to feel or sense his protective and soothing presence. Archangel Michael is known as the protector of those on the spiritual path and is often depicted carrying a flaming sword of truth and protection.
As you engage in this practice, visualize the process of energetic cord clearing to enhance your connection with Archangel Michael.
You may say:
“Archangel Michael, please help me heal. Please cut all etheric cords that have attached themselves to me. I ask that any energy that is not mine be released and sent into the Divine Light to be transmuted into love. Thank you.”
You may actually see or imagine cords leaving your body, detaching from different places and releasing from various chakras. Sometimes you may even sense or recognize whom you were connected to through these cords.
Now picture or imagine that all the places where the cords were attached are filled with beautiful, healing golden-white light.
Then gently call your own energy back to you by saying:
“I now call back all of my own energy from wherever I have left it. May it return to me cleansed, balanced, and filled with light.”
Allow yourself to feel your energy returning and settling peacefully within you.
Many people find this practice very helpful as a daily energetic clearing. Afterward, you may feel lighter, calmer, and more relaxed.
Understanding Energetic Attachments
Always remember that we are all energetically connected. Attachments can sometimes form simply when someone focuses strongly on us—whether in a positive or negative way. Often people are unaware they are doing this or how their thoughts and emotions may affect others.
For highly sensitive people, this can sometimes feel overwhelming and may appear as anxiety, emotional heaviness, or sensations that do not seem to originate from within. Because of this, it is helpful to develop simple practices that help keep your energy clear and centered.
Simple Ways to Keep Your Energy Clear
Healthy energetic self-care can include:
• Taking salt baths or using salt scrubs
• Cleansing with tools such as a selenite wand
• Visualizing yourself surrounded by a protective sphere of golden-white light (remember to include beneath your feet)
• Grounding your energy into the Earth
• Wearing supportive or protective stones
It is also helpful to keep your home energetically cleansed and clear. Be mindful of objects or gifts that may carry emotional associations or difficult memories. If something feels heavy or uncomfortable, consider placing it in storage or cleansing it with salt.
Take a moment to notice how you feel when holding or being near certain objects. Just like people, objects can carry energetic imprints and may benefit from cleansing as well.
And don’t forget to cleanse your jewelry—many pieces contain crystals that absorb energy too.
Living in an Energetic World
We live in a fluid and interconnected energetic world. With awareness and simple practices, you can maintain greater balance, clarity, and sovereignty over your own energy.
Practices like this one are simple, but they can be powerful reminders that your energy belongs to you.
At Soul Centered, our intention is to provide tools, knowledge, and community to support people on their spiritual path—helping you stay grounded, clear, and connected to your own inner guidance.
