Here’s something that shows up in energy sessions all the time—and maybe you’ve felt it, too. That weird pull toward someone even though the relationship is… well, kind of fried. The boss or ex who still rents space in your nervous system years later. The soul-deep “I know you from somewhere” feeling that makes zero logical sense.

Yep. You’re probably dealing with cords. And maybe a soul contract (or five). Let’s break it down.

What’s an Energetic Cord, Anyway?

An energetic cord is just what it sounds like: an invisible connection between you and another person, place, belief, or even an old identity you used to hold.

Cords aren’t automatically “bad.” In fact, they can be:

• Loving (like a baby and parent)
• Supportive (healthy friendships and partners)

Or they can be:

• Draining (cue the “ugh” energy)
• Controlling (double yikes)

They form through things like intense emotions, intimacy, long-term roles, or even thought patterns you’ve been repeating. Basically, cords create an energy pipeline between you and “the thing.” The real question is: are you choosing to keep that pipeline open—or is it just running on autopilot?

What About Sould Contracts?

Soul contracts are like cosmic agreements your soul signed before you incarnated. Think of them as the “let’s meet up in this lifetime to work on this thing together” kind of deals.

Some are gorgeous:

• “You’ll be my child so I can learn unconditional love.”
• “You’ll break my heart so I finally wake up.”

Some are a little heavier:

• “You’ll test my self-worth until I remember who I am.”
• “You’ll mirror my abandonment wound until I heal it.”

They’re not punishments—they’re lessons. But not every contract is meant to stick around forever. Some are supposed to expire once the lesson is complete. The problem? Most of us don’t notice the expiration date and keep re-signing them energetically, even when the curriculum is over.

Signs You’re Corded or Contracted

How do you know if you’re tangled in a cord or clinging to an expired contract? Look for things like:

• Constantly thinking about someone (even when you’re “over it”)
• Feeling drained after certain interactions
• Struggling to move on from a role, title, or identity
• Attracting the same type of relationship in different disguises
• Feeling like you “owe” someone something energetically

These aren’t always toxic, but they are neon signs that it’s time to unplug, reset, or rewrite the terms.

Can You Cut Cords or End Sould Contracts?

Yes—and it’s not about canceling people, it’s about claiming your energy back. Cutting cords means saying:
“I release this outdated connection. I’ll keep the lesson, but I’m calling my light back to me.”

Releasing a soul contract is more like:
“Thank you for the role you played. I free us both from repeating this loop.”

It’s sacred work. And honestly? It feels freeing as hell.

Reclaiming your Energy…

You came here with a soul blueprint. Part of your evolution is learning when to:

• Keep a connection
• Clean a connection
• Or lovingly close the chapter

Cords happen because we’re human. Contracts happen because we’re soulful. But none of it is permanent. You’re allowed to grow. You’re allowed to release. You’re allowed to reclaim your energy and choose again.
