Never Cut Etheric Cords, Remove Them Instead

By Jade Bonica

Through the years I’ve had energy healers, brujas, shaman and mystics tell me that I need to cut cords in order to sever harmful relationships or feelings, but the thought of cutting cords never truly resonated with me.  Perhaps it’s because of my background in psychology, and the years I’ve spent in therapy getting to the root cause of my own issues, but I feel that the same holds true with etheric cords. How can we ever expect to break free from the cords that bind us if we don’t get to the root of the etheric cord and psychically remove it?

Cutting cords is quick and easy, you symbolically go around your body with your hand acting like the blade of a knife, I’ve seen people use karate chops as well, and cut at the cords around your or their body. To me, this method always felt ineffective, because I could feel the cords grow back. Cutting cords is akin putting an energetic band-aid over whatever issue you’re experiencing.  It wasn’t until I started psychically removing the cords like plucked weeds that I felt relief from the painful or irritating cords in my life.  

As a Reiki practitioner, I deal with cord attachment every day because as I’m working on a patient and removing their pain, I’m taking on their karma and thereby their cords, it comes with the job, if you’re a Reiki practitioner, you know what I’m talking about. You can’t heal without getting your energetic hands dirty. Thankfully, I’ve learned how to ground myself and remove the cords with ease, helping my patient feel relief and giving myself relief as well.

To psychically remove cords from oneself or others is very simple, and it’s okay if you can’t “see” the cords, not everyone is able to see them, I can’t, but most people can feel the cords, and anyone can be trained to feel them.  The best way to know where a cord is, is to ask yourself, “Where do I feel discomfort?” There is usually a cord in the place where you feel that discomfort. A perfect example is after a breakup, the cords are usually in our head (crown chakra from all of the thinking), heart (hence heart ache), sacral (sexual chakra for men) and root chakras (sexual chakra for women). If you’ve experienced sexual trauma chances are the cords are in your head/crown (because it still haunts you), heart (again, heart ache over the situation), throat (for not speaking up), solar plexus (for loss of power), sacral and root (sexual organs for males and females respectively).  

If you’re not sure of where you feel discomfort, go through each of the main, seven chakras and start pulling the cords from them (crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root) As you do this, say, I remove all cords that no longer serve me, I remove all cords from this life and all previous lives and I strengthen the cords that do (serve me). Then, psychically put a healing salve over them, lastly, heal the holes where you’ve removed the cords with Reiki.

If you are a level one Reiki practitioner, CKR will work just fine. If you have level two training, SHK and HSZSN works even better, and if you are a master practitioner, use SHK, HSZSN followed by DKM. If you don’t have Reiki training, that’s okay too, simply go over each chakra and say three times, I seal this healing with love, light, and compassion, end the saying with, so mote it be. If you don’t trust yourself to remove and heal the cords, I’ve found a wonderful video from Steve Nobel called Ultra-Violet Angelic Fire Transmission: Dissolving Cords and Lower Energy Interference, his video really is an all in one, his voice is also extremely soothing.

It’s also important to drink plenty of water, and to increase your energetic vibration after such a cord removal process, this will speed up the healing process and strengthen the positive cords that remain; a mix of 963 Hz, 528 Hz & 432 Hz is best, and YouTube has plenty to choose from, one of my favorites is by Magnetic Minds called Higher Vibration – Raise Your Frequency – 936 Hz, 528 Hz, 432 Hz – Solfeggio Meditation Music, the video runs about an hour and thirty minutes and does a great job of keeping those feel good vibes strong.

Lastly, be kind to yourself, talking about whatever issue is most pressing either with a friend or a trained therapist helps at getting to the root of whatever issue you need to address. With that, I hope I’ve helped to educate you, uplift you and make your journey toward a better life and a better you a little smoother.

Prayer to Uriel

By Jade Bonica

Each morning, before I put my feet on the ground, I give thanks to God and the Universe for all I have. I also give thanks for all of the beautiful people in my life:  my girlfriend, family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I feel the act of gratitude sets the stage for a positive day and keeps my vibration at an optimal level. So it was no surprise when on my way to work, the man sitting across from me on the F train was wearing a baseball cap with a genie lamp on it. Smiling to myself, thinking of Aladdin, I made my wish. I wished for peace, I added all of the people on the train, my girlfriend, family, friends, my dog, co-workers, old and current, and my neighbors, I then expanded my wish to cover all of New York!

When I arrived in Manhattan, I entered the local Starbucks for a hot almond milk latte and walked through Central Park as I often do, to watch the dogs from the neighborhood play, and to ground myself.  Just as I was leaving the park, I spotted an angel card of Uriel on one of the park benches.

For those of you who may not know, Uriel is the angel of peace. It was at the point I knew my wish for peace on the train was heard, I gave thanks to Uriel, then flipped the card over to find a post-it note, and it said, “You found this card for a reason #leadwithenergy.” So to all of you out there, if you’ve ever wondered if you’re being heard by God/Universe/Higher Power, the answer is an unequivocal yes! I hope this card and post bring you peace, love, and forgiveness.

Seventy-Eight Cards

“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.” – Nikola Tesla

Christine, my sister, taught me Tarot using the Rider-Waite deck, she dabbled in it many years ago but has since renounced the use of the cards for personal reasons.  I respect her decision for doing so, and I will always be grateful to my sister for opening my eyes to tarot, and the esoteric.  Around the time Christine introduced me to my first set of cards, at eleven years old, she also introduced me to a man named Lazarus.  My first interaction with Lazarus was etheric, haunting, and unforgettable.  Christine had briefly mentioned Lazarus about a month before she introduced me to him. The night before I was supposed to meet him, I spent the night at my sister’s place and had the most vivid dream I’d ever experienced before or since that night.

In the dream, I was introduced to a man, I didn’t hear his name, but I was in an apartment playing pool with John, my sister’s son. The four of us drove to a restaurant, and while waiting for our beverages to arrive, the man proceeded to blow the paper cover off of the straw he used to drink his soda and then, I woke up. I thought the dream was silly, so I didn’t mention it to Christine or my nephew. I dressed and was ready to spend the day with Lazarus.  Christine, John, and I took the elevator to his floor, and as soon as we stepped off the elevator, I instinctively knew which apartment was Lazarus’ and rang the bell.  My sister looked at me strangely but didn’t comment.  When he opened the door, I took a step back because the man in my dream the night before was the man now standing before me.  He was tall, had black hair and the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.  Christine asked me, “Are you okay?” but I didn’t say anything, I just sheepishly smiled because I didn’t know what to make of the experience at eleven years old.  As soon as Lazarus moved out of the way to let us in, I saw the pool table in his living room, and when we went out for dinner that night, he blew the paper off of his straw.  I sat with my mouth open like I was watching a rerun of my dream.

When Christine, John and I came home that night, Christine said, “Okay, give, you’ve been acting weird all day, tell me what’s wrong.”  I didn’t know how to explain all that I had experienced that day, but I told her, “I saw Lazarus in my dream last night and everything we did today.”  She asked why I didn’t say anything, I said, “Because I thought I was going nuts like maybe I was short-circuiting.” She laughed, hugged me, and said, “That’s great, it’s called Deja Reve, it’s French for already dreamed. I’d like you to share the dream with Lazarus if you’re okay with that.”

The next day, we were back at Lazarus’ place, and we played a game called “Shouting from the Mountain.” In this game, meant to hone intuitive abilities, two people pretend they are on different mountain tops shouting a number. One person yells a number in their mind, and the other person tries to sense the number being yelled.  You start small with a number from one to ten; as you fine-tune your skills, you increase the number expanse by ten.  Christine and John played the middlemen and confirmed when the correct number was received. Lazarus held out his hands for me to hold, as he shouted from the mountain, I couldn’t sense the number being yelled.  Then, he asked me to close my eyes, and the numbers started popping into my mind’s eye.  I successfully received eight numbers in a row, but then developed a headache, so we stopped.  The next day in school, I played the game with Suzan, my best friend from childhood! She was a natural at Shouting from the Mountain.

Suzan was never afraid of her gifts and nurtured them with practice. It’s why she’s such a gifted cup reader today, her attention to detail and accuracy can seem a little scary to someone who’s never had a cup reading from her before, but once the things she’s told you start playing out, you can’t help but return! Initially, I was afraid of my gifts, not knowing what they meant. I, too, found myself renouncing tarot and my intuitive abilities for fear of the unknown until Suzan helped me to hone my skills and come out of the Witch’s broom closet.  I achieved this by giving her and her family readings daily.  When I started meditating, going to yoga classes, and practicing Reiki, I noticed my readings became sharper and more detailed. After a while, I abandoned the formation spreads and began reading the cards in a linear way, with a different deck called The Steampunk Tarot by Barbara Moore.  It’s a beautiful deck, still Rider-Waite centric but filled with mythic images in a Steampunk setting. When reading the Tarot, I like giving friends a detailed interpretation of what is going on in their lives currently.  Then, I open the cards up to more specific questions from the friend about a given situation in their life. I invite friends to take notes and ask them to let me know if what I’d told them had panned out.  Nine times out of ten, my interpretation of the cards is on point, and this has helped to boost my confidence by giving me credibility; it has also helped to spread the word about my readings.

As I mentioned before my Reiki practice only further honed my card reading skills, so while I would read a friend, I’d ask if I could tap into their energy field, I’d sense pain or discomfort in a body part or chakra, then I would lay out the cards and explain what was developing in front of me.  If the pain in my body became more intense, I knew I was on the right path; then my friend would confirm my findings.  After the reading, I would give each friend a Reiki treatment, and help them to remove cords, helping them to let go of any discomfort; this became my method for healing and reading.

Figuring Out My Life Purpose With Karmic Astrology

By Jade Bonica

I don’t know if you believe in reincarnation, and I’m not sure if it’s necessary for you to drink the proverbial Kool-Aid and believe in reincarnation in order to get the most out of this post but let me explain how Karmic Astrology helped me to confirm my life’s purpose.

So, what is Karmic Astrology?  The best definition that I’ve found on Karmic Astrology is from the Richard Brown’s website. Richard Brown says, “Where conventional astrology tells you what you are, Karmic Astrology answers the question: Why?”  I’ve had many mind-bending conversations with my therapist, Joan, pertaining to this very question. What about my childhood, young adulthood and past lives brought me to the place I am today? What is my purpose for being here?

I don’t feel it’s a coincidence that I’m writing this post or that you’re here reading it now. Despite how hippy dippy it sounds, and like I said, I know it’s out there! We are meant to discover who we are and why we’re here in this life. I never really had an interest in writing; in school my teachers weren’t particularly pleased with my writing style, I was told it was “too stylized” and “lacked structure.” In spite of those teachers, I kept writing and continued to create my own style as though I were sitting down, chatting with a friend.  My mom always enjoyed reading whatever I wrote but I chalked it up to my mom being my biggest, and only fan. So when she told me I should write a blog, I scoffed, “Who’s going to read what I have to say?”

Fast forward through therapy, lots of yoga, meditation, energy healing, and acupuncture than, an epiphany came to me, I began digging deeper into my Virgo nature and discovered Karmic Astrology. In Karmic Astrology, I found that my North Node is in my third house in Scorpio and my South Node is in my ninth house in Taurus. And, what would guess is the ideal profession for a Virgo with such nodes? You guessed it, writing! I thought, “Why couldn’t I have discovered this twenty years ago?!”

Karmic Astrology, or Esoteric Astrology is leaps and bounds from your average daily horoscope. I became interested in Karmic Astrology on my path to enlightenment because I wanted to better understand energetically how I came to be and how, on this plane, I could reach my soul’s divine purpose.  I’m going to direct you to a few websites that have helped me along my journey and I hope they will do the same for you in better understanding your “why”.

First, I wanted to discover my “Nodes of Fate”, which are my North and South Nodes of my birth chart that I mentioned above. According to Astro Style, “Our South Node reveals the gifts that you bring into this lifetime. The North Node is the exact opposite zodiac sign of the south node. The North Node requires you to stretch out of your comfort zone. Once you do, you’ll be amazed by how fulfilled you feel.” The best website I’ve found to quickly calculate my Nodes of fate was from Rainbow Moon. From my understanding, the South Node is what I came into this life with, and my North Node is the lesson I’m here to learn in this life but I must also learn to balance my nodes in order to get the most I can from each.

Next, I wanted to figure out which house my North Node was in, figuring out my North Node house was the key because my South Node is it’s polar opposite. Then I wanted to research how my particular North/South node combination played off of one another. For those who aren’t familiar with houses in astrology (I was not), houses are similar to a clock and are divided into twelve houses, each house is ruled by a different sign, the first house begins with Aries and goes counterclockwise, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and so on.  The best website I’ve found to help me locate which house my North Node was in – The Astro Codex, this website offered me a free  six page birth chart, I just type in my first name, birthdate, time of birth, (if you don’t know your birth time, it’s okay), and birth city.

Lastly, I wanted to read about how my particular houses affect my nodes, for this I found an in-depth PDF with all possible combinations from the website Astro Fix. After all of that searching and meeting with psychics, it was here where I confirmed my calling to be a writer. 

So, all, I hope this post was helpful, and if you’d like assistance in discovering your nodes and houses, I’d love to help, free of charge, for people who message me, and if you find that my how-to helped you along your journey, I’d love to hear about that too.

Until next time, be well, and remember to always live in love and light!

2020: The Year of Positive Change

By Jade Bonica

Astrologers say the Age of Aquarius began in 2012 and in the lead-up to 2020 we, as a society, are experiencing accelerated personal growth.  Yup, that’s what I’m talking about people, harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelation, and the mind’s true liberation.  

Okay, now that we’re all singing the song, it’s said, unfortunately, that most of us can only begin our path to enlightenment when we’re shaken to our core. I can speak of my own growth which, began  in June of 2011, the impetus was a life-threatening illness; one that forced me to reevaluate the life I was living, and the people I chose to keep closest to me.  I was not living my best life and in no way was I my greatest version. My eating habits were subpar, I was the heaviest I’d ever been, work was extremely stressful, the relationship I was in left me feeling suicidal, in short, I was in the darkest place of my life; the only way to go was up, and to let God, therapy and spirituality back into my life. It’s presumptuous of me to say but that illness was a Godsend, because all lessons in life are Godsends, whether we realize it or not, but I’m acknowledging it here, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today emotionally, spiritually, and psychically without that life altering experience. It was just shake up I needed!  

In case you missed my last post about angel numbers, feel free to click on this link: Top 5 Helpful Things To Do When you Spot Angel Numbers. This brief how-to has aided me along my path to enlightenment.

Now, let’s get back to 2020, yes, this is an angel number people, and this is our guides, all at the same time trying to get our attention (because before we know it, 2020 will be plastered everywhere in the new year).  So, listen up!

The angel number 2020 started popping up, for me, and I’m sure a lot of people, during the 2016 election. It dawned on me then how in four years we might all become more enlightened! It brought a joy to my soul and gave me hope that people would find the light, I’m talking 5D kind of light! 2020 points to discovery of the human collective and the potential to be greatest version of ourselves. So, let’s breakdown the numbers…

Number 2 refers to intuition, unity, courage, communication, creativity, personal improvement and development, growth and progress. This number refers to people who are ready make changes to improve their lives.

Number 0 is pure, positive energy; it’s also known as the God source number.

And we see both numbers twice, put together, 2020 is a call from our angels to improve ourselves by being of service to others in our daily lives and to have a balanced approached in all areas of our lives.  2020 also means we can turn the most ambitious of dreams into reality because of those double twenties! The angels are ready to help you, all you have to do is ask for their guidance.

With that, please feel free to share your journey toward enlightenment with me, and angel numbers you come across, I’d love to hear about your path to oneness, love and light.

Top 5 Helpful Things To Do When You Spot Angel Numbers

By Jade Bonica

Along my path for enlightenment I’ve found that as my frequency increased, the quicker the synchronicities came into my existence.  With this awareness came a desire to understand and make sense of the signs I witnessed.  These symbols came in the form of what I discovered were called angel numbers. According to the website The Secret of The Tarot, Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that carry divine guidance by referring to specific numerological meanings. If you’ve been lucky enough to recognize angel numbers around you, you’ll know, angel numbers come in many forms, in sets of double-double digits, triple single digits, quadruple digits and so one.  I began noticing these numbers first on digital clocks, calendars, then on license plates, TV, billboards, clothing and then I began hearing them on the radio (think of the Cellino & Barnes commercial and all of those eights!).  If you want to understand what your guides and ascended Masters are telling you, you can do what I did.

1. I was mindful of my thought process at the time of seeing the angel number.  This allowed me to understand what the angel number meant in relation to my current thought process.

2. When I had time, I took a picture, my phone is filled with license plate numbers like I’m on neighborhood watch!  When I didn’t have time, I made a mental note of the number but each time, I did a Google search of the number sequence I saw. This helped me to understand the message my angels wanted me to know.

3. Sometimes my guides reminded me that I needed to keep my thinking positive, and not worry, other times they reminded me that I was on the right path to enlightenment and abundance and to keep up the good work.

4. Seeing the angel numbers was like my teachers in school reminding me to sit up straight, this time it was my guides were telling me to keep my thoughts positive and to pass along the positive vibes and feelings to all I came in contact with. This in turn created a good vibes snowball that continued to gain steam and make me a positive vibes manifestor.

5. As long as your spiritual fitness/frequency is high (you do this by giving gratitude for all you have), you will bring the frequency of everyone around you up too - paying the good mojo forward, it’s a win/win.

One of the best websites that’s helped me along my journey is Angel Numbers - Joanne Sacred Scribes by Joanne Walmsley.  I don’t know what I would have done without her thoughtful and insightful explanations of each number sequence and number combination.  She really knows her craft.  So, if you’re just getting started, her site is a good place to start you along your own path of enlightenment, and even if you’re well on your way, her explanations are some of the best on the web!

In order to find the love I deserved, I had to do this first

 By Jade Bonica

Three years before I met my partner Gwen, and four years before I started seeing angel numbers, more on angel numbers in my next post, the universe sent hearts into my existence.  In literally everything I saw, architecture, clothing, plants, TV, billboards, masticated bubblegum, clouds, coffee, food, pick-up sticks, you name it, I saw hearts!

I brushed them off at first, I only saw the hearts once in a while.  I viewed  them as a happy coincidence that put a smile on my face, but I was grateful every single time I saw one. The more gratitude I felt for the hearts I saw, the more the hearts came into my existence. I began seeing the hearts everyday, at least two to three times a day, and I realized something within was shifting for the better.

I mentioned the sightings to my therapist, Joan, and to my delight she quoted Rumi, “That is great news, Jade, I’m really proud of the progress you’ve made. Rumi says, the beauty you see in the outer world is the beauty you see within yourself.”  This adage resonated with me on a cellular level and explained perfectly what was shifting within me.  I was expanding spiritually with my yoga practice, and I’d been working hard in therapy to get over a devastating break-up.

Had it not been for Joan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who helped me to navigate those rough waters after the break-up, I wouldn’t be here now to tell you this story. It was Joan who, with deep compassion and understanding, gave me the strength to pull myself back from the abyss. She helped me find my spirituality again, and to give thanks for the life I was given and the lessons I was here to learn.  After Joan’s name read LCSW, but it should read miracle worker.  

Joan drove home the immortal words of the great and powerful RuPaul, “Honey, if you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” This became my mantra, love yourself, love everything about yourself, the good, and the not so good.  I know, it sounds conceded and a bit contrived, but it worked for me.  Without gratitude and love for myself first, I wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to notice the beautiful hearts and all the love around me and then within me and eventually in my amazing partner, Gwen.
