Cord-cutting is a spiritual healing process that energetically severs that negative attachment between you and another person so that the shadow of that past relationship does not hang over you or affect your behaviour in the present.  This means that the rage, paranoia and inadequacy, particular to that aforementioned relationship can be eliminated.  And obviously, other relationships can be improved too because of it.  It does not mean that you lose contact with the person or that it weakens the positive connection.  Cord-cutting will never mean the person disappears from your life unless you consciously make that happen by severing contact.  If anything, that pure, positive connection is improved because it is no longer overshadowed by negative energies.

How it is done:

For the practice of cord-cutting, you sit comfortably, close your eyes, slow your breathing and get into a meditative state & the practitioner will start the meditation. You may want to have a notebook handy so you can take a few minutes to free-write whatever thoughts and feelings came up for you during this meditation.

Each person can have any number of such cords in one relationship itself. Even with the relationship continuing, it is essential to cut these cords because they will make the relationship healthier. It is all the more important that cord cutting is done when the relationship ends.
