I'm dealing with people who are tapping into my energy and using it to heal themselves. I'm new to spirit keeping in general and looking for spirits that help with ensuring no one cords with me. Not quite sure how to go about communicating with spirits in order to task them.

Any protection spirit should be able to do this. Simply ask them to protect your energy from being access by someone else and block anything that has malicious intentions toward you.

Speaking out loud, thinking with intent towards your spirit, writing and burning a letter with intent for your spirit, digitally recording task requests, sign language, music triggers, etc.

There's multiple ways to communicate.
Do whatever comes naturally to you.

Also you can do de-cording yourself, which helps in its own way.

One book that includes how to do that is Judy Hall's The Way of Psychic Protection.

The theory on cording - which I first learned from The Psychic Healing Book by Any Wallace & Bill Henkin - is that it's a natural feature of psychic interactions. And to some degree at least it functions consensually. Also the reason de-cording is good for us is that generally speaking it's good for us to run our own energy, not others', and vice versa.

Sometimes someone puts a cord in our energy system that drains us. But cords can also be beneficial. It's common to find a cord from a teacher/mentor in the seventh chakra. After we've carefully removed cords we don't want, they may come back if we subliminally or subconsciously want them to. Learning to de-cord ourselves is a good way to become aware of how our cording system is working and gives us an opportunity to make decisions about which cords to leave in and which to remove.

tl/dr: Specialist protection spirits who can stop energy drains or unwanted external influences might be best to help with cords. I don't know of a type of spirit that's specifically described as cord-related. Diy decording is good to do - I always recommend using a tried and tested system, as we're dealing with our energy system, which is a core part of us.

Ty for this! This thread is interesting. It occurs to me that I should probably to some pretty major cord-cutting with my father... He was very exploitative both emotionally and spiritually. I will have to put this on my to-do list. Thank you original poster for asking about this!

Something I do every evening is visualize standing inside my own heart, in a room that's full of doors and windows. I ask my spirit family overseer to stand with me, and point out all the doors and windows that are open and active, so I can close them down.

The act of closing the doors and windows shuts off any energy exchanges I've made throughout the day- family, friends, people over the internet, cashiers, whoever I engaged with that day. I methodically close each door and window so my energy is called back to me and protected before I go to sleep. No energy cords to be pulled on or messed with while I'm asleep.

Incidentally, this has drastically reduced the number of nightmares I have!

I like this. Thank you for sharing.

Very welcome @Osean! I hope that's useful!

Hello! You're not alone. There are so many people who feel like they have a lot of energy, and others are tapping into it without their consent or knowledge.

I would recommend starting with some basic protection work. Think about what you need to keep safe, and then focus on that in your practice. For example, if you want to keep your energy safe, focus on protecting it—or even creating a wall around it that can't be crossed.
I like to visualize a sword and use it to cut the cord linking me to somebody who is toxic to me.

Another thing I find helpful is asking the spirits to help me identify when someone is trying to take my energy and turn it against me. If someone is trying to do this, ask the spirits for help understanding what's happening and knowing how to stop them from doing it again. The more specific you can be with your requests, the better!
Any spirit can help you with cord cutting. However, I would recommend having a protection spirit in order to protect you and prevent something like this from happening again.
It's also good to pair with a healing spirit so that they can heal you from the emotional damage caused by this.

When it comes to communicating with spirits, there are many different methods that people use. Some people prefer to use divination tools such as tarot cards or pendulums, while others prefer to simply meditate and listen for messages from the spirit. I started by speaking out loud, and then I moved on to telepathy, which is like speaking in your head.
There are no right or wrong ways to do this. You just have to do what feels comfortable for you and what works for you.

@stargazerjournal ...it's interesting what @Tarvos said about his cord cutting technique using a sword.

As you can probably tell, in my own practice I'm not so keen on going straight to diy techniques without having first mastered the basics from a tried and tested method taught by a teacher acknowledged as expert in that field.

I use 3 types of cord cutting. One is learned as part of a course in psychic development, during which you learn to read your aura, chakras, psychic pictures, regulate your chakras etc, so by the time you come to pull cords and heal the aura & chakras as part of that...which needs to be done with care...you've developed the necessary sensitivity. I gave the name of that book in the post above.

The other, in Judy Hall's book, is also part of a more comprehensive book. By the time you reach the cord cutting method, which involves some imagery, such as burning the cords afterwards, you've already learned how to heal the aura, close gaps, remove simple attachments. And another technique teaches how to close your psychic gates - which relate to some extent to parts of the body, eg where there are chakras.

Once I'd learned both methods, I came across a cord cutting method online, which I use for convenience, when I don't want to do a whole session. I can sense cords easily, due to what I learned previously. The 'easy' method involves imagining a blacksmith's forge, placing the blade of a sword in it, letting that grow hotter and brighter, until it's white hot, then using it to gently sever whichever cord(s) I'm aiming to cut. Then I regulate my chakras afterwards - which I seem to remember was part of that method.

tl/dr: Sword imagery seems to be a common feature of some types of cord cutting. There are different types. In some you use psychic sensitivity to locate the actual cords. Others are more ritual and magical intention based, more to do with relationships & cutting ties.
