Cutting Cords

a very short (about 3 minute) mini cord cutting with Archangel Michael

A good technique physically cutting the energy cords and inviting in energy of mother earth and father sky
from: Sealed with Love
Other cords can be cut using the “Cutting the Ties That Bind,” exercise by Phyllis Krystal to

remove the energy of unhealthy relationships from your auric field. Visualize an infinity sign with the inner circles colored white and the outer circles colored violet – violet is transformation and white is new beginning. Imagine you are standing in one side of the figure eight and the person you want to let go of is standing in the other side. Then imagine you are having a conversation and you are telling this person how much he or she has helped you in your life, how much you appreciate the experience. See the cords that connect you to the person, ask for the cords that need to be cut to light up. 
Then using a pair of golden scissors cut the energy cords you have built between you seeing the cord ends absorbed by yours and the other persons being, making sure that the cords are healed and sealed.  When you have finished thank the person for their friendship and then proceed to cut the circles in half allowing each half to become a complete circle. Wave good-bye and see them in their circle leaving your auric field floating into the distance. Do this daily until you feel they have been released
Another version: from bali3000

It is recommended to do this visualization first upon rising before you get out of bed and right before you sleep for at least two weeks. Keep a journal  of your memories that emerge about life experiences with the person you have placed in the top circle of golden light, visualizing yourself in the lower circle of golden light.
