Hey, my fellow empaths! Jojo here from Cozy Moon Child, and today, I want to have a real conversation with you about something I’ve struggled with for a long time: cutting energetic cords.

I used to think I could handle it all—the emotional baggage, the draining conversations, the unspoken energy exchanges. Like many of you, I love helping people. I’d walk into a room and instantly feel the shift. My energy would light it up, and people would gravitate towards me, feeling safe enough to let down their guard and release whatever was burdening them. And honestly? I loved being that safe space.

But here’s what I wasn’t prepared for: the toll it would take on me.

At first, it felt fulfilling. We empaths thrive on helping others. Whether it was giving advice or just being there, I was always ready to lend a hand. But over time, something changed. The people I helped weren’t moving forward—they were stuck in their cycles of self-pity, negativity, or helplessness. They weren’t doing the work to heal, and instead of feeling rejuvenated, I started feeling drained. My energy wasn’t just being shared; it was being siphoned.

I didn’t recognize it at first. I thought I was just tired, maybe even overcommitting myself. But when I started having those dark thoughts—feeling weighed down on days when everything was going well—that’s when I knew something was off. It wasn’t my energy I was carrying; it was everyone else’s.

That’s when I learned about cord cutting, and I can’t tell you how life-changing it’s been.

Protecting Your Energy is Not Selfish

I used to think that cutting cords meant abandoning people, but it’s not that at all. It’s about protecting your energy and maintaining your boundaries. Let me share something personal: I had a close friend who I’ve known for years. Every time we spoke, I’d leave the conversation feeling depleted, like I had just run an emotional marathon. I wanted to help them, but nothing I did seemed to make a lasting difference in their life. Instead of letting go of their pain, they fall deeper into it.

I realized then that I wasn’t helping them by letting them lean on me without any boundaries. In fact, I was enabling them. And that’s when I knew: it was time to cut the cord. It wasn’t an easy decision, and it took time, but once I did, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. My thoughts became clearer, my energy brighter. I was able to reclaim my sense of peace.

You don’t owe anyone your energy, especially when they’re not doing the work to grow or change. It’s not selfish to protect your own well-being. You can still love and support people, but from a healthy distance—one that doesn’t drain you.

My Go-To Methods for Cord Cutting

I know this journey can feel overwhelming, so I want to share what has worked for me:

1. Listening to frequencies: One of the quickest ways to cleanse and protect my energy is by listening to specific frequencies. 432 Hz is my personal favorite—it helps alleviate psychic pressure and restore balance. I recommend starting with that.

2. Meditation: I’ve mentioned meditation in previous posts, but I can’t stress enough how important it is. The good news? Meditation can be flexible. You don’t have to sit in silence for hours. Whether I’m in the shower, on a walk, or just taking a break, I use guided meditations that help me ground myself and release any energy that doesn’t belong to me.

3. Reclaiming your power: This has been one of the most transformative practices for me. Regularly recalling my energy from anyone or anything I’ve allowed to attach to it has brought so much peace into my life. It’s like gathering all those scattered parts of yourself and becoming whole again.

The moment I started doing this work, everything shifted. The heaviness I had been carrying lifted, and I was able to find peace in ways I never thought possible. And let me tell you—it’s not a one-time fix. This is something I do regularly, especially after emotionally intense interactions.

The Power of Boundaries

It’s easy to feel guilty about setting boundaries, but as empaths, it’s essential. Without them, we’re left vulnerable to energy that doesn’t serve us. People will unintentionally (and sometimes intentionally) latch onto us, draining us of our light and peace. And while it might not always be malicious, it still impacts our well-being.

We have to remember that our energy is precious. It’s okay to love people from a distance, to support without sacrificing your own peace. I’ve had to learn that lesson the hard way, but now that I’ve embraced it, I’ve never felt more empowered.

Sending love and light to you all. Stay grounded and protect your energy, always.
