What Are Energy Cords? by Adeline Atlas
May 17, 2025
Welcome back to Soul Renovation! I’m Adeline Atlas, and today we’re diving into a concept that affects our energy, our emotions, and our overall well-being—Energy Cords. You might not even realize how much these unseen connections are influencing your daily life. Ever felt drained, tired, or emotionally off for no apparent reason? It might not just be "life." It could be the energetic cords connecting you to others. Let’s explore how these cords form, how they impact us, and most importantly, how to manage or cut them to reclaim your energy.
Energy cords are invisible connections that form between you and other people, situations, or even objects. These cords serve as spiritual contracts—energetic exchanges between two beings. The deeper the connection or the more attention given, the stronger the cord.
Why Should You Care About Energy Cords?
Do any of these sound familiar?
Feeling inexplicably tired or emotionally drained.
Experiencing physical pain like headaches or backaches with no clear medical cause.
Getting overwhelmed by recurring thoughts or emotions tied to someone else.
Cords are created not just through in-person interactions but even through thoughts, memories, and yes, social media. Every time someone thinks about you, good or bad, that cord strengthens, and its impact grows.
How Social Media Strengthens Energy Cords
Let’s talk about Instagram stories and profile pictures—a modern twist on energetic cording.
The Profile Picture Connection
That harmless little image? It’s far from innocent. Most people keep the same profile picture for years, sometimes decades. From a branding or marketing perspective, this is great for recognizability. But think about what that really means:
Stored Emotional Memory: Every time you see someone’s profile picture, your brain recalls the emotions tied to your past interactions with them. This strengthens the cord between you.
Emotional Triggers: Seeing an ex’s photo might instantly bring up sadness or anger because your brain and body can’t distinguish between memory and the present moment.
Social media has made these cords even stronger. Think about how many times a day you see the same profile pictures pop up in your feed or on stories. Repetition strengthens the cord.
Story Views and Emotional Reactions
Have you ever felt a specific emotion just from seeing that someone viewed your story? That’s the energetic cord at work. Your brain associates their profile with past emotions and triggers a reaction in your body. Social media, with its constant visual repetition, reinforces these cords every single day.
How Energy Cords Impact You
Unchecked energy cords can:
Drain your energy, leaving you feeling tired or emotionally unbalanced.
Influence your thoughts and emotions, even when you’re not consciously thinking about the person.
Cause physical symptoms, such as tension or pain, tied to emotional and energetic blockages.
It’s vital to recognize these cords and take control of them.
What Can You Do?
1. Mute, Mute, Mute!
Muting stories and posts on social media is a powerful way to limit the energetic impact of others in your life. Every time you see that same profile picture, the cord strengthens. By muting, you can stop the constant reinforcement and choose what—and who—you allow into your energy field.
Mute anyone whose energy doesn’t align with yours.
Remember: muting isn’t about judgment; it’s about protecting your energy.
2. Cut Unwanted Cords
When you feel an unhealthy cord is draining you, cutting it can bring immediate relief. Here’s a simple visualization exercise:
Close your eyes and imagine a glowing light surrounding you.
Visualize the cord between you and the other person.
Imagine yourself gently cutting the cord with a golden sword or scissors.
Affirm: “I release this connection with love and reclaim my energy.”
3. Limit Profile Picture Bonds
Consider changing your profile picture occasionally to avoid others forming repetitive, entrenched cords with you. Fresh energy means fresh connections.
4. Be Intentional About Engagement
Every like, comment, and interaction on social media is a tiny energetic exchange. Before engaging, ask yourself:
Does this interaction serve my highest good?
Am I strengthening a connection I actually want?
The Role of Energy Awareness
Energetic cording isn’t just about cutting ties—it’s about mindful connection. Not all cords are harmful; some are deeply nourishing. But it’s up to you to discern which ones to keep and which to release.
