The first few times practicing this energy cord-clearing process may be challenging. This can manifest as agitation, discomfort, bodily restlessness, a wandering mind, or even ego judgments about the practice itself, or possibly falling asleep. These symptoms are especially likely to arise if you have many energy cords or attachments, have never implemented energy-cord clearing before, or if it has been a while since your last clearing. They are all distractions of the ego mind and/or energy structures that aim to hinder your progress and keep you from shifting into a new dimension of consciousness. Stay the course.
