Etheric / Energy Cords part 2

The following are writings that are sections of articles I took from various places online. Although I did edit them for our purposes here, rearrange, or otherwise change them; I take no credit for writing them. this is just extra information I felt was worthy of sharing and considering.

"(A) To release and cut (oki) all "aka cords" or connections with imbalancing, 

inharmonious, negative situations." 

So what are these "aka cords?"

 

The Hawaiian Dictionary definition of "aka" is (1.n) "Shadow"

 (2 nvi) "Reflection, image, likeness, faint glimmer preceeding the rising of the 

moon, essence of an offering rather than the flesh... 

(3 n) "Embryo." There are also two other definitions, but they don't seem relevant. 

If one combines the idea of the "shadow" with the "essence of an offering," 

one comes close to this use of "aka cords" that must be cut in the Ho'oponopono 

process. 

The idea of "aka cords" is central to an understanding of Huna thought, 

which is loosely (perhaps in some schools, too loosely) 

based on some Hawaiian traditions. 

In Fundamentals of Hawaiian Mysticism, Charlotte Berney says of aka, 

"This invisible material, which has never been measured by science, is known in

 other metaphysical schools as 'etheric' or 'astral' substance. All things--including 

the Three Selves"--and all thoughts have shadowy aka bodies and can form

 connections via aka substance, which is sticky and elastic.

These connections are in the form of cords or threads that reach between things.

 Aka cords can connect people or can stretch between a person and an object, or 

a person and a place. 

These aka cord connections are not limited by material obstacles or by distance, 

and they can connect persons on different sides of the world. 

They are the means by which telepathic communication is accomplished." 

Berney continues, 

"Throughout your life, you establish aka cord connections between yourself and 

people, places or things. 

These cords are created whenever you think about someone or something, speak 

about them, or take some action that involves them. 

Thus, by thoughts, words, and deeds you form many aka ties. 

Thoughts and feelings travel along these slender cords, 

and Basic Selves communicate with one another through them." 

This assertion that the Basic Selves communicate through Aka Cords is one of the

 basics of the ho'oponopono premise that we can work to clear conflict through a

 spiritual mechanism. 

We "cut and cleanse" the Aka between people, places, things, and situations

 using this vehicle of Aka Cord communication. 

In the Hawaiian dictionary, "Kala" means (1 nvt) "To loosen, untie, free, release, remove, unburden, absolve, let go, acquit, take off, undo; to proclaim, announce; to forgive, pardon, excuse; to substitute for; counter sorcery or sorcerer, proclamation, public crier, announcer; prayer to free one from any evil influence, to practice counter sorcery." 

"Kala hala" means (nvt) means "Atonement, remission of sins; to pardon, absolve from sin, ransom." 

In Ho'oponopono we cut, cleanse and loosen (kala) Aka Cords, and we also forgive and pardon (kala), and ask for forgiveness and pardon for ourselves. 

In an article called "Klearing Kala, Yet Another Way!" by Dr. Houston Vetter in the Huna Research Bulletin, May 2002, No. 6, says that "In Huna, clearing or cleansing 'kala' is one of the most important issues...In fact, if it weren't for Kala needing to be cleared or cleansed us Huna researchers would have an easy time of manifesting miracles..." He then goes on to quote a definition of Kala published by Enid Hoffman in Huna: A Beginners Guide: "'Kala' means, 'restoring the light.'" 

However, this definition is not found in the Hawaiian dictionary and I suspect Hoffman has used the article "Ka" (for "the") and combined it with "La" (sun, day, light) to arrive at this definition, which is technically incorrect--though in the spirit of things, loosening and freeing (kala) could certainly result in restoring light. Also, the phrase "clearing kala", used by Dr. Vetter, is redundant--as kala has the definition of "loosen, free, release" etc. 

My point here is we have to be careful when we make use of 'olelo Hawai'i (Hawaiian language) words, and make sure we go first to the dictionary and genuine kanaka maoli sources for the foundations of our understanding.

What are Aka Cords?

Aka Cords are types of energy cords; their constitutional element is a threading of 

different levels of energy, but of a higher vibrational level, like those with the 

element Akasha. These weaved threads can grow to be very strong cords 

during 

longer relationships, interactions, attunements or through strong emotional 

exchange.

With the Aka Cords, one can easily say that during an attunement what is being 

built is a connective relationship in you with the source of the energies and the 

functions you are being attunened to. It is an etheric connection, but it is as real

 as 

it can be.

spiritual sources, through them, we also receive information send prayers 

convey 

and receive healing.

Inside the Huna tradition, creating strong cords between yourself and someone 

or 

something else is the way that energy and information is transmitted to and 

from 

your Higher Self and Spiritual Source and is the key to manifesting and “having 

your prayers answered”.

We are connected through Aka Cords to all that is and all manifestations of 

God’s 

Grace. These “invisible” cords can bond us to people, places and things. Aka 

means mirror, reflection or essence. Many of these cords are Divine and pure, 

and 

play out in our lives as beautiful, harmonious relationships, a strong affinity for

a 

place we reside in or have visited, or favorite material things that evoke a 

strong 

sense of love and appreciation in us.

“There are several types of cords – soul cords, cords from past life experiences, 

genetic cords (connection to birth parents), parental relationship cords, and

 cords 

for relationships with others.  Since these cords are formed on the fourth aura 

layer and higher, the cords remain intact “before and beyond three 

dimensional 

physical spaces”. Once they are made, 

these cord connections never dissolve, 

although it is possible that they could sustain damage, or get tangled, or “dirty”.

Not all the energetic cords are good or bad exclusively. There are cords that 

are 

created from relationships that are not necessarily serving to our higher good, 

and those may have to be server in one time or another in our lifetimes.”

Aka cords

Aka cords is a term from Huna mysticism, it defines aka cords very elegantly. Everything is connected to every other thing. Relationship, attraction... gravity... Love. I believe they are also the "super strings" physicists suggest are holding the universe together.

As aka cords show up in the etheric, they are the underlying nature of how relationships connect people. Everything you see, everything you touch, creates a thread of energy between you and it. However, these threads of attraction are usually are only readily visible when they represent the union in relationships, because the cords of love between people are stronger than attachments to things. Like "Apron strings" between mother and child, they are how we exchange empathy, love, and information. This usually happens on an unconscious level for most people. These etheric cords are a normal connection between friends and lovers. Most are flimsy and fade quickly, but they can also become negative attachments and vampiric siphons.

When you grow an awareness of these threads, it becomes very easy to manage these cords with the tools of imagination... even without intuition, one can do the ritual. Guardian angels will perhaps help on your requests. For most folks, knowing about the cords is not very important because the unconscious takes care of them. For healers, professional psychics and other folks who are doing energy work, it becomes more important to keep the tools in order and cut cord attachments that no longer serve. Sometimes a patient will continue to draw energy from a healer after the session is finished, and while this is a good thing in the short term, in the long term it can be hard on the healer and become a crutch, or negative addiction for the patient.

There are several ways to disconnect cords. It is best to be clear in your intention, so that you don't cut cords which represent win/win relationships that serve your highest good. In the ritual I was taught in basic Huna, you first ask to be shown the beneficial cords, and send love, gratitude and blessings down these cords. Then ask to be shown ones that do not serve, and cut them. This method is nice and simple... but those who are determined, will sometimes show up in your life again, or simply connect new cords as often as they are cut.

Cords are a method of high speed communication and sharing energy.Healthy cords create a nurturing sharing of information and energy. Unhealthy cords can be a huge drain or a means of control. They are attached by mutual agreement, but there are lots of ways to persuade, trick, or con people into being corded. Often they were useful, but outlive their usefulness. The cord may have been very important when you were 2 years old, but now in adulthood it is no longer useful, but the cord is still there.

Cords can be a temporary telepathic and energetic link between two persons. Usually, a cord doesn't last long and dissipate within a few days or even hours. Cords aren't necessarily bad, however if you find yourself constantly thinking of someone in particular, you may form a cord that will drain you and make you feel bad for no reason.

Etheric cords can form between people, objects, and situations where there is a fearful attachment; afraid to let go, scared to be alone, afraid to be without. These are invisible energy links. We normally cord to other people and also allow them to cord to us throughout the course of our everyday lives. Many of these cords are short lived and dissolve quickly. There are some however, normally the intensive, volatile, or the longer term relationships, that create cords and with a build-up of numerous energies and emotions, such as need, desire, love, anger, jealousy, envy etc. These cords can create problems in the form of aches and pains, depression, rage, exhaustion, burn-out etc.

Etheric cords act like hoses, with energy directed back and forth between both people. Therein lies the possible problem with having them. If the person to whom you are attached is having a life challenge, that person might siphon energy from you. He or she could draw upon your energy supply through the etheric cord. You will then feel drained, without knowing why. Very often, the people you have had sexual relationships with are attached to your womb, heart, or brow chakra. The people with whom you've experienced conflict could be attached to your solar plexus. Those who you grieve could be attached to your heart, brow, root, or solar plexus chakra. Those with whom you've had painful relationships, or relationships where you carried all the weight, might be attached to your shoulders. This might be the root cause of shoulder and neck pain.

There are several ways to disconnect cords. It is best to be clear in your intention, so that you don't cut cords which represent win/win relationships that serve your highest good. In the ritual in westernized Huna, you first ask to be shown the beneficial cords, and send love, gratitude and blessings down these cords. Then ask to be shown ones that do not serve, and cut them. This method is nice and simple... but those who are determined, will sometimes show up in your life again, or simply connect new cords as often as they are cut.

AKA is the Hawaiian Huna word for   the energy substance which  surrounds us and connects us to each other; it is how information and Mana  ( God Power / the life force and energy)  travel. All contact whether in the physical or on another level involves the exchange of  threads of aka material or energy. Ongoing relationship will build cords, energy and information is exchanged along these cords and connections. Where the cords are locked in has a lot to do with the quality of the relationship.

Some of  the cords we create  can dissipate our energy or  keep us locked into negative relationships or become tangled and distorted. Others  support loving and spiritual relationships.   When a romantic relationship deepens into lasting love many of the threads of the Aka substance weave themselves into strong cords which enhance the connection and flow of energy between the people involved.  

If a relationship ends abruptly a lot of the pain is from the tearing or severing of the aura  cords. Other grief and loss also is a symptom of cord severing or tearing.

When you do become aware of a negative connection to a person or event or some negative emotional or mental condition I find that rather than pulling it out  or cutting which you will often see recommended. 

 I prefer to meditate with the intention that the negative  cords release and return to their origin or dissolve and reabsorb into myself.  

Calling on spiritual energy and Your spiritual guides Aumakua and or angels. 

 You fill your aura while holding the intention that all the energy connections that do not serve your highest good be returned to their  owners  and that you release any of your own energy cords and connections and retrieve and absorb them back into your own being . 

Some  people like to visualize this energy being cleaned and charged as it  returns.
