Cut Cords of Attachment (19 page)

My dear, now departed, hairstylist Dale Hamel, used to run his fingers through my hair, crooning “Hands are the best tool God ever made.” So you can guess whether I prefer cord cutting with a special crystal or using my perfectly portable gadget, hand in Laser Position.

Yet when new to cord cutting, I was desperate for anything that would make me feel more confident as a healer. Soon as my teacher, Joanna Lester, said that I was qualified to cut cords of attachment, I raced out to buy a laser wand like the one she used. Money was no object.

Luckily for me then—and maybe for you now—a good laser-shaped crystal costs far less than a grand piano.

If you wish to use a crystal to help you cut cords, you could actually program any quartz crystal to do the job. For best results, however, choose a long, clear crystal that comes to a well-defined point. For the very best results, purchase a laser wand like the one I hold on the cover of this book.

Use your cord cutting tool exclusively for this kind of work.

What, exactly, is a
laser wand?
It is a long, tapering crystal which naturally comes to a point. Often the sides have curved or jagged edges, as well as a strong termination.

These crystals might remind you of a craggy mountain peak, only this kind of mountain would be exceptionally tall, also skinny, plus small enough to hold in your hand.

As with all crystals, a laser wand’s physical structure previews what it can do to move energy. Craggy edges gather momentum, like waves breaking onto a beach. When directed by your consciousness, this dynamic flow of energy will shoot out through the tip of the laser wand, taking form as a laser-fine beam of light.

A Cord Cutter’s Shopping List

Using crystals is optional. Still, you may wish to use physical tools to supplement your work with cord cutting. If so, your complete shopping list looks like this:

1. One laser wand

2. Three agate slices

3. A purple plate or crystal cluster

Agate slices
are colorful, thin cross-sections of a mineral that helps to rebalance the nervous system. You can use these slices for bandages. Agate is inexpensive. If you prefer something even cheaper, you could find some flat pebbles whose quality is pleasing to you.

Of course, you will need to wash and program any stone to make it suitable for psychic-level surgery, and instructions for doing this follow.

Purple plates
are my favorite appliances for cleaning professional tools like laser wands, agate slices, any other crystals, plus all my personal gemstone jewelry.

An alternative is
crystal clusters.
These natural formations have many crystal terminations joined at the base, forming one piece. Again, instructions for cleaning any type of crystal will follow.

But first, let’s discuss basic consumer smarts in a rock shop. If you are a born
crystal empath,
as soon as you pick up a stone it will take you on a journey in consciousness.

How can you know if you are a crystal empath? Go to a rock shop. Pick up one crystal at a time. Close your eyes. If adventures in consciousness begin spontaneously, know that you are this type of empath. If so, it would be smart to develop the skill set of Empath Empowerment.

Regardless of whether you are an empath of any kind, you can benefit from using crystals. Moreover, you need not study them for years to gain enough knowledge to use a crystal to help you cut cords of attachment.

Of course, if you do like working with crystals, eventually you may wish to study with an expert. Brilliant teachers are available to help you develop a powerful skill set as a crystal healer.

What do you need to know for now about using a laser wand? Crystals change auras.

Selecting a laser wand is different from buying mere jewelry. Here, the emphasis will not be on the looks of your purchase. What matters is what a particular crystal does for you energetically.

Therefore, a savvy consumer will audition one stone at a time. Is there a special consumer technique for best results? You bet.

TECHNIQUE: Audition a Crystal to Cut Cords

Aura reading to the rescue! Let your own energy field inform you as a consumer.

1. Start by doing a Before Picture on yourself. Be sure to read these chakra databanks:

• • The Third Eye Chakra Databank for Connection to Spiritual Source
    
  • The Solar Plexus Chakra Databank for Sharing Power with Others
    
  • The Root Chakra Databank for Making Contact with Objective Reality
    

2. Hold one laser wand or crystal at a time. Place it in the hand you will use to cut cords of attachment.

3. Do an After Picture with the same chakra databanks. A crystal worth your money does something positive to your aura.

Will a well-selected laser wand make you more powerful, cutting cords of attachment? It might. Once you feel established in your spiritual connection, the extra amount of oomph is negligible. Still, most
clients
will feel that something special happens when you use a beautiful laser wand.

TALE: Showmanship for Healers

Packaging does impress people. I remember doing consumer research when publishing my first book, “Food Processor Cooking—Naturally.” To test the dessert recipes, I used to fill up my car with home-baked goodies once a week and hold a bake sale at the Springfield, Illinois YWCA.

When I asked my customers for feedback, the most popular suggestion by far was “More plastic wrap.”

Yes, apparently each slice of cake would taste far better if, instead of being cut and served personally for each customer, the dessert could be pre-cut and wrapped, looking more like something you would buy in a store.

I took this as a lesson in showmanship. It applies to healers as well as to cooks. Some clients will be impressed by the sheen of a laser wand. At least, using a special crystal is easier than covering yourself in Saran Wrap.

Hygiene With Crystals

Will you use a dedicated crystal to cut cords of attachment? Then keep it clean. Otherwise you are definitely better off using only your hands.

Pain, fear, any of the qualities in the cord that you cut can temporarily penetrate a laser wand. It’s the auric equivalent of a scalpel being plunged into some bleeding organ. Just because you don’t see the grime with your naked eyes, could it still be there?

TALE: Hard As Which Diamond?

It would have given me a clue, if only I had been paying attention. My crush, David R., was a good man but not someone who would bring me happiness as a husband. The first present he gave me was a lovely necklace with a crystal heart. Within 24 hours, it smashed.

Oops, I married him anyway. For our engagement ring, he bought a lovely aquamarine ring, set with two diamonds.

Fast forward to our divorce, some four years later. I was left with a pretty ring that I no longer wished to wear. When I took it to a second-hand shop, the jeweler studied the ring through his special magnifying glass. Then he said, “Lady, I can’t buy this.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“Both the diamonds are cracked.”

Yes, diamonds do have a reputation for being hard. But, like any precious or semi-precious gems, diamonds will store the wearer’s vibrations. During my marriage to David, I didn’t know this. Never, once, did I clean my ring energetically. Enough emotional pain accumulated to crack both diamonds. Surely that lesson about cleansing crystals was worth the price of a ring.

Three Good Ways to Clean Your Crystals

For Crystal Cleaning Devices, here are three good choices:

A purple plate is a thin piece of specially treated, magenta-colored metal. These plates are said to emit positive energy that vibrationally affects any objects placed upon them. Purple plates range in size from rectangles the size of a file card to 12-inch squares. Developed from the work of Nikola Tesla by the late Ralph Bergstresser, these plates are wonderfully portable. If your local rock shop doesn’t carry them, you can find them online by searching for “purple plate.”

A crystal cluster is a natural quartz crystal that contains several different points joined at one base. These are natural washing machines for smaller crystals, and will be completely self-cleansing. Once you program your crystal cluster, it will cleanse anything that you place upon it. (An amethyst cluster will do this in purple-tuity.)

Or you can give your stones a salt bath. Dedicate a non-reactive container to this use, e.g., a ceramic, glass, or plastic bowl. Ideally the container will have a wide opening at the top. Fill your container with dry sea salt or kosher salt, either of which can be reused indefinitely. Gently bury your crystals and precious stones in the salt, with the most fragile parts uppermost.

TECHNIQUE: Cleanse Your Tools To Cut Cords

1. Treat your tools for cutting cords of attachment as the special instruments they are. Keep them out of reach, so nobody can casually touch them.

2. Buy or make a Crystal Cleaning Device: a purple plate, crystal cluster or salt bath. Keep it available in a convenient location.

3. After each use of a crystal tool, place it onto or into your choice of Crystal Cleaning Device.

4. Allow 15 minutes for the cleaning to be complete. But don’t worry about going over the time. You can leave your tools indefinitely without causing any problems.

Dress clean, too, when you cut cords of attachment. You can use your Crystal Cleaning Device for any precious or semi-precious stones that you might wear while doing sessions (or at any other time). Cleaning your jewelry once a day isn’t excessive. Remember, the cleaner your accoutrements, the clearer your aura. Exactly what works best for Rosetree Energy Spirituality!

If you happen to be a crystal empath, it will be especially important for you to dress clean, when it comes to gemstones. You were born with a gift for sensitivity to their energy. Subconsciously (and maybe consciously, too) you can feel when stones are junked up with negative vibrations.

Crystal Power

To buy a crystal without programming it afterwards is like moving a grand piano into your living room without ever playing a scale. Such a waste, especially when programming a crystal is so simple!

You will definitely want to program your laser wand, plus any agate slices dedicated to cord cutting. If you wear jewelry with precious or semi-precious stones, why not program that as well? Both precious and semi-precious stones can be programmed. They might become even more precious.

TECHNIQUE: Program Any Crystal

Sure you can do this.

1. To prepare for your programming ceremony, collect all the crystals and jewelry you wish to program, the more the merrier. Use a purple plate, crystal cluster, or salt bath to clean them up.

2. Find a room with a door to serve as your sacred chamber for this ceremony. No pets are allowed within, not even your favorite gerbil. Do whatever you feel is needed to create a sacred space, whether burning a candle or incense or simply saying out loud, “Be here actively, Spiritual Source, to witness this ceremony.”

3. Choose the program for each item.

4. Do the “Get Big” technique. If other facets of your work involve guides or angels, invite them to participate as well.

5. Set the intention “To program these stones.”

6. Hold in your hand one object at a time, be it a crystal, a piece of jewelry, or a decorative stone. Announce the program aloud. Allow a moment for it to stabilize within the object you are holding. Done! (Repeat this sequence until you have programmed the whole batch.)

7. Thank God and all the Divine and celestial beings who have helped you. Each program installed will replay permanently... until and unless you do another ceremony to reprogram.

What constitutes suitable programming for a crystal? Choose how you would like it to subtly alter your vibrations. Your program could be a wish, an affirmation or a specialty. For instance:

• A laser wand’s program could be the wish “to bring the highest caliber of healing possible, whenever and wherever I use it.”
  
• A rose quartz necklace might be programmed with the affirmation “I like myself.”
  
• The double-pointed Herkimer diamond that you keep in your pocket might turn into a healing factory, given a program like “To attract high-frequency healing vibrations that are compatible with my aura.”
  

TECHNIQUE: Special Protection While You Cut

Right before cutting any cord of attachment, ask the Divine Being in charge to protect you with golden light so that nothing from the cord being removed will enter into your aura. Energetically you have the right to remain free and clear.

1. To claim that right, just request that a golden light of protection will cover you while you cut the cord of attachment.

2. Then accept it. That simple.

3. You don’t have to imagine how the light looks or what form it must take. One simple thought will do. Although, of course, you can supplement this two-second technique with imagination, just for your own entertainment.

4. Personally, I have fun requesting that the golden light take the form of a doctor’s white coat, the sort of clothing appropriate for doing surgery. Makes me feel oh-so-professional. Yet the light also covers my face, my feet, all of me, which might look a tad weird in a typical hospital. Luckily, I’m in my office; and nobody’s likely to notice that gold coat but me and any Divine Beings helping out.

5. Regarding timing, it can be flexible.

• • Ask right when you pick up your laser wand or place your hand into Laser Position.
    
  • Or you might request this golden light as early as Step 6, while your client (or you) is saying the Permission Statement.
    
  • Should you forget to request the gold light until you start cutting that cord, ask for it then. No worries! It’s so easy to request that no STUFF from the cord can spill into your aura.
    

So now you have actually cut the cord of attachment. Don’t stop here. Your most fascinating Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment lie ahead.

Our very next one, Step 8, will be especially enjoyable as an act of creativity for you or your client.
