Therapeutic letter writing is a powerful healing practice that bridges emotional release with spiritual transformation. It allows you to express unsaid words, release stored emotions, and reclaim your energy from past experiences and relationships. This ritual can be especially profound when combined with energy cord cutting—a practice of releasing energetic ties that may be draining, unresolved, or no longer serving your highest good.
What is Energy Cord Cutting?
Energetic cords are invisible connections formed between you and others in your life. These cords can hold emotional imprints, unresolved conversations, or energetic attachments from past experiences. When these connections remain unaddressed, they can influence your energy, mood, and even your sense of personal freedom.
Cord cutting doesn't mean severing all relationships or denying past experiences. Instead, it’s a conscious practice of releasing the energetic ties that are no longer aligned with your present self—allowing you to hold compassion while reclaiming your power.
How Therapeutic Letter Writing Supports Cord Cutting
Therapeutic letter writing creates a bridge between the emotional body and the energetic body. This process works by drawing energy from the sacral chakra—the energetic center associated with creativity, emotional storage, and suppressed feelings—and moving it upward into the heart chakra, where those emotions can be fully felt, processed, and lovingly expressed.
The act of writing accesses buried emotions that may have been suppressed in the sacral for years. When brought into the heart space, these emotions can be acknowledged, honored, and released. As you write, the words become a physical expression of the energy you’re ready to release. Burning the letter in a sacred fire under the full moon amplifies the clearing, as fire symbolizes transformation, and the full moon represents completion and letting go.
Therapeutic Letter Writing Instructions
Create Your List of People & Situations Requiring Release
Begin by reflecting on the people, situations, or relationships where you feel unresolved energy, tension, or unexpressed truth.
- Who do you feel still holds energetic weight in your life?
- Where have you withheld your truth, suppressed emotions, or felt energetically entangled?
Create a list of everyone you feel called to write a letter to.
This could include:
- Past partners
- Family members
- Friends
- Authority figures
- Even yourself or versions of yourself from the past
Set Your Space with Intention
Prepare a calm, sacred space where you can write uninterrupted. Light a candle, play soft music, or cleanse the space with sage or palo santo. Set the intention that you are stepping into this practice for emotional release, healing, and energetic freedom.
Write from the Heart (Without Holding Back)
Write a letter to each person on your list. Allow the words to flow without censoring yourself. You don’t need to write perfectly—this is not about crafting a letter for anyone to read. Instead, this is about emotional truth and energetic release.
- Write honestly about your feelings, pain, gratitude, or any unresolved emotions.
- Express what you need to say but couldn't in the past.
- Forgive where you can. Release blame where possible.
- Remember, you are expressing for your own healing, not to justify or seek validation from others.
Complete All the Letters Before Moving to the Burning Ritual
Commit to finishing a letter for each person on your list before moving into the burning ceremony. This allows you to complete the emotional process fully.
Sacred Fire Ceremony Under the Full Moon
The full moon represents completion, release, and illumination. Holding this ceremony under its light enhances the energy of letting go.
How to Perform the Fire Release Ceremony:
1. Create a Sacred Fire Space: Build a small fire outdoors or use a fire-safe bowl if you cannot be outside. Cleanse the space with sage or palo santo if available.
2. Ground Yourself: Take a few deep breaths. Visualize yourself grounded and supported by the earth.
3. Speak Your Intention: Hold your letters and say a prayer or affirmation, such as:
"I release all energetic ties that no longer serve my highest good. I reclaim my power, freedom, and truth. With love and gratitude, I let go."
4. Burn the Letters One by One: As you place each letter into the fire, visualize the energetic cords dissolving, turning into light and ashes. Feel the weight lifting from your heart.
5. Offer Gratitude: Close the ceremony with a moment of gratitude. Thank yourself for the courage to release and the fire for its transformative power.
6. Optional: Moonlight Reflection: Spend a few moments in the moonlight, breathing deeply, and visualizing yourself cleansed, whole, and free.
The Energy Shift: From Sacral to Heart
This practice is deeply connected to the energy body:
- Sacral Chakra: The seat of stored emotions, creativity, and unprocessed emotional pain.
- Heart Chakra: The space of compassion, forgiveness, and emotional healing.
By writing, you’re bringing suppressed energy from the sacral up into the heart space, where emotions can be *felt* instead of buried. As the words flow onto the page, you are transmuting emotional weight into an expression of truth. Burning the letters then transforms this energy into light, completing the cord-cutting process.
Why This Practice Works
- Emotional Liberation: Writing allows you to voice unsaid truths, creating emotional closure.
- Energetic Release: Fire transforms the written word into ashes, completing the energy shift.
- Heart Healing: Moving energy from sacral to heart clears emotional blockages and restores flow.
- Self-Empowerment: Cord cutting reminds you of your power to release and reclaim your energy.
When to Perform This Ritual:
- During the full moon for amplified release energy
- After a breakup, life transition, or emotional healing work
- When you feel emotionally or energetically drained by a past connection
Remember: This practice is about you. It’s not about controlling others or forcing closure from outside sources. True healing comes from within.
You are reclaiming your truth.
You are releasing what no longer serves you.
You are free.
