Energy Cords & Hooks Explained

Energy Cords are energetic connections that form between two or more people.

Sometimes these cords are formed from love and cause no harm but sometimes cords are formed through fear, anger, manipulation and other negative means. You are creating cords all the time as you interact with others. These cords need to be cleared from you in order to preserve your own energy body.

Cords are made of energy and connect two or more individual energy bodies. They stretch between people very much like an umbilical cord and transfer emotional energy and life force energy between the people. It does not matter how far away the other person is, as the cord is not a physical substance and distance is irrelevant, so this connection can still be felt from the other side of the planet.

The most commonly felt entanglements are the energetic attachments or cords between lovers.

Each shares their energy with the other during sex but also emotional ties or feelings of love and sharing are often enough to build a cord. Often these cords are between the bellies, or the spiritual stomach, and the genital parts or sexual centers. But cord attachments can be in other areas like the heart or solar plexus.

In every relationship, people are constantly exchanging energy that can become a cord connecting two people. This energetic cord forms just below the breastbone and can remain long after a relationship has ended. This unbroken cord may leave an open channel between you and another person, through which emotions and energy can continue to flow. If you are unaware that the chord exists, it is easy to feel the other person's emotions and mistakenly think that they are yours. Besides the fact that this can limit the amount of closure you can experience in a relationship, letting this cord remain intact can leave you with a continued sense of sadness while creating feelings of lethargy as your own energy is sapped from you.

Cutting cords can help you separate yourself from old baggage, unnecessary attachments, and release you from connections that are no longer serving you. 


There may be times where cutting a cord can help free a relative or loved one to reach new stages of growth. You're not severing a relationship, but you are severing the cords that are no longer serving you both. At other times, a cord may simply refuse to be cut because it is still serving a higher purpose.

Cords can grow back, especially if it is with someone that you are in contact with often. You can cut the cords on a regular basis but don’t become fearful or overprotective of yourself regarding them.  Fear can lower your vibration and put you in a space of negativity which will allow the cords to attach easier.  

Too many Cords can drain your energy and lower your vibration.

Cords can be created between any two people or even groups of people that have emotional relationships. Lovers, friends, workmates, ex-spouses, and even enemies can all have energetic cords between them.

Sometimes the emotions we are feeling belong to the person we are in a connection with, in that case an energetic cord should be severed before your energy is depleted.

In most cases, in adults, hooks and cords are the result of emotional trauma, family dynamics, love and sex relationships, and serious conflicts with others.


Energy Hooks are formed when you allow other people to “hook” into your energy. One way others do this is by saying hurtful things.

The whole idea of a hook is to try and take your power. They may put you down, make you feel unlovable or shame you. Empaths are often targeted because they unknowing allow others to play on their sympathy and make them feel guilty. Others can feed on your energy through these hooks and sometimes makes you sick or prevent you from moving on.

Hooks cannot become implanted in you unless you allow the other person to do it. Consciously or subconsciously you have given your permission for this person to feed on you.

An important part of removing hooks is acknowledging that in some respect you have given your power away.

Perhaps you are seeking validation from this person or feel you can somehow save them. Maybe you are a people pleaser and have a hard time saying no to anyone. Unless you remove your permission and stop the behavior that allowed them to hook into you in the first place, they can come back.

In most cases, in adults, hooks and cords are the result of emotional trauma, family dynamics, love and sex relationships, and serious conflicts with others.
