Chakra cord healing work is a new level of expertise for energy healers. After clearing and charging the chakra system, and then removing astral energetic blockages, the next layer of work moves towards healing a client’s relational connections. The energetic hardware for dealing with our relationships are found in the invisible webbing that connect us to others: chakra cords.
I began working with chakra cords over fifteen years ago, in conjunction with my astral extraction and clearing work. In Relational Energy Healing the structured cord connections between us are one aspect of human energetic relationship, and the fluid, non-structured Astral world is the other. Human beings use both wired and wireless mediums – cords and the Astral world – to energetically relate to other people: to form and maintain contact, and to share important ideas and vital resources with each other. Shortly after I left The Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH) in 2003, my spirit guidance team taught me about this, a third energetic system that ultimately has become vital to my Relational Energy model: chakra self-cords.

These tiny filaments represent the energetic “wiring” of the way in which we internalize the outer world – and their relationships – into our personal, inner world. We become truly individuated through these personalized connections, rather than just another predictable personality springing out of our family heritage. While relational chakra cords extend out to others, and astral energies surround, or are embedded within our physical body, self cords emerge out of our cord connections with others and then loop back, sometimes embedding themselves into the chakra head. Normally these cords grow through our early and healthy interactions with others. They are automatically repaired and enhanced in any adult-to-adult relationship, such as that of a caring family member, a close friend or mentor, or even with your psychotherapist. If the cleaning and strengthening of these chakra self cords were simply a nice idea it would be one thing. But experience shows that that by receiving self cord work my clients (and my students) make substantial leaps of progress in the areas of:
- self-esteem, or self-value
- healing from co-dependent relationships
- releasing abusive, toxic, or addictive relationships
- healing of early childhood wounds and developmental deficits
- awakening to our true spiritual identity
The primary focus of chakra cord work is when the healer enters the auric system with the intention to clear or untangle any problematic energetic wiring of the self, as well as to reinforce important connections where necessary. A variation of this is Heritage/DNA chakra cord work address family patterns which we may unconsciously be perpetuating in our own lives. I have discovered that self-cord work is especially helpful to those individuals who have already accomplished much in their lives, and are looking for a new level to healing their past. As these early chakra cord connections are often pre-verbal, held in place by years of habits, a supportive re-wiring of the chakra cord system helps create the circumstances for a leap to another level of awareness.
This is not to imply that chakra cord work is dramatic or cathartic; cord healing is almost always gradual and gentle. One day you realize a glimpse into a new inner world, one where you are connected to a deepened sense of self. The old way is somehow behind you; you have found yourself. And the past is done.

is it possible to find myself within this lifetime for anyone? can we all do that? isn’t it our ultimate goal in our life, to find our true self? it seems so impossible. i want somebody to tell me what i need to do to find myself…
and if it is possible how does it feel like to find yourself finally….
The world’s great spiritual traditions use various approaches, but mostly agree that to find ourselves – to become “awakened”, or “enlightened”, or somehow free of the illusory grip of the world – is the ultimate goal of a human life. Many people spend years in search of (or following) spiritual teachers who promise they know the way to attain this experience. But my opinion is we are already “pre-wired” for any experience of “awakening” to our true nature. We just need to come to a place in our personal development where we know how to do it. My premise is that chakra cords are one part of the essential “wiring” that needs to be functioning correctly in order for us to have a satisfying human existence: one that could be described as an “awakened”, or evolved, life.
I’m excited about the information and the opportunities that you offer via the internet.. Please include me in your newsletters. All that I learned from you is helping many of my clients. I miss you. Namaste, Ninette
For me the self cord is as you described it Dean, a gradual and gentile work. It was as if the work allowed me to deepen into my observer as change occurred in my life. To arrive at a destination with a connection to clarity and then proceed on the journey, appreciating the work done at each stop of the way home to the self. Change was not always easy and with the self cord connections drama was diminished with in myself and I could hold myself through each change now in retrospect seeing the emotional depth gained through living life on life’s terms. Thank you always, Wendy
