“Letting Go of What Isn’t Yours to Carry”
Sometimes we carry energy that isn’t ours. Burdens from toxic people, jealousy, curses, or simply the weight of emotions we’ve absorbed. Over time, these energies feel like heavy baggage that drains our joy, blocks our peace, and clouds our sense of self.
In his Reiki session, Matt from Spirit Pond offers a gentle yet powerful clearing that plucks out dense energy, cuts draining cords, and restores balance through love, light, and sound. Like the Reiki healing we explored in [Michael’s session on breaking bad luck and dark energy], this practice is a reminder that we are not meant to carry what does not belong to us.
Releasing Negative Energy and Bad Luck
Matt begins the session by welcoming us into a safe space:
“This is your time for healing. Take a deep cleansing breath with me and set the intention to let go of anything you’re holding on to that is ready to be released. Any negativity, any negative energy, all evil eyes, jealousy, anything that has been put upon you, including curses or hexes, will be removed.”
This opening is essential. Energy healing begins with intention. By naming the specific weights: jealousy, evil eyes, hexes, bad luck, we permit ourselves to let them go. Reiki channels universal life force energy, which supports this process by gently drawing out stagnant or heavy vibrations.
With each breath, we invite unconditional love in, while exhaling anything that does not serve us.
Breathing Through Fear, Grief, and Anger
As the session continues, Matt reminds us that emotions themselves are not the problem; it’s holding on to them that creates blockages:
“It’s safe to laugh. It’s safe to cry. Whatever emotions need to be expressed at this time… it’s okay to feel and release.”
This is where Reiki aligns with modern psychology. Emotions like fear, grief, and anger are natural responses, but when they stagnate, they become toxins in the energetic body. Through intentional breath and presence, these emotions are acknowledged, honored, and finally released.
Each exhale becomes a chance to shed what is no longer ours to carry, making room for love, peace, and clarity.
Cutting Energetic Cords with Reiki Scissors
One of the most powerful parts of this session is Matt’s use of Reiki scissors to cut energetic cords:
“I’m going to feel into any energetic cords that may be keeping you attached to people or situations that are not serving your highest good… We’ll pluck those out now, snipping them, releasing them back to the universe, letting go of these attachments with love.”
Cords represent energetic ties we form with others. While some relationships, such as those of love, family, or support, are healthy, others can become draining. Toxic relationships, energy vampires, or past conflicts can leave cords that siphon vitality.
Cutting cords with Reiki is not about erasing people from our lives but about removing unhealthy attachments, allowing us to reclaim our own energy.
Filling the Empty Spaces with Love
After releasing so much, it’s crucial to fill the energetic field with something higher:
“We’re filling up all of those spaces left behind with pure unconditional love. This love is something that no one can take away from you.”
This step ensures we don’t remain vulnerable to old patterns returning. The energy of love becomes both a source of protection and nourishment. Matt emphasizes that love is not external — it is our natural state. Reiki simply reminds us of this truth and restores us to it.
Singing Bowl Healing: Tuning Into Peace
The session closes with the sound of a singing bowl:
“Place a hand over your heart as I close the ceremony with my singing bowl. Take another deep breath and feel this frequency in your heart.”
Sound healing has long been used to realign the body and spirit. The vibrations of the bowl tune our energy field to peace, safety, and self-love. After the deep clearing and cord cutting, the sound helps us integrate the healing and seal the field with harmony.
Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Carry It Anymore
Matt ends with gratitude and a reminder:
“We are the love we always needed. That love was never outside of us. It was never something to be chased. That love is what we are.”
This Reiki session is not just about removing negativity — it’s about remembering who we are without it. Free from jealousy, curses, or attachments, we return to our own light.
If you feel weighed down by energies that aren’t yours, this practice offers both relief and empowerment. And like all Reiki work, the session can be revisited whenever you need support.
You don’t have to carry this anymore. Let it go. Return to your inner light.

I felt it. Like a curse was lifted, or something. I never felt this sensation before but it have made my life easier the last week.. I started with meditation now and trying to only think positive thoughts. I don’t want to attract negative energy ever again!!
