Cutting Energy
detach
Create space for your partner to come through.
When you are still energetically attached to people in your partnership space, this attachment is blocking your partner from coming through. This goes for all energy. Just as energy begins to attach the moment you start developing feelings for another person (AND ESPECIALLY when you sleep with them), if there's anyone you are still energetically holding space for or are attached to, you're completely blocking your partner from coming through.
I'm going to list out examples, so this is clear. If you don't find your exact example here, you should be able to piece it together based on the scenarios I share. These are from my vast body of clients, and they all reflect energetic/physical blocks that are communicating to The Universe that you are not in your worth, more importantly, that your self-worth is not in alignment with the worth of the amazing person you're calling in.
EXAMPLES
Still hooking up with or sleeping with people even though they aren't your person.
Really good friends with (but secretly in love with) this person of the opposite sex (or same sex) and waiting for them to realize that they have feelings for you too.
You're a sexually empowered woman or man, so you sleep with anyone you please. *Look, I'm all for someone who is authentically and entirely in their power, but I will wholeheartedly say that I've never met a woman in my practice who is genuinely sexually empowered. I've met very few in my life but never in my practice. However, every woman I encounter in my practice that thinks she's a sexually empowered feminist, once truly doing the work, it always comes down to the energetic that she is sleeping around too soon and frequently because she is in need of attention, validation, or she's using it as a way to cope with trauma. This also goes for men (though it's more socially acceptable).
Friends with your exes. But what if we're just friends? Here's the deal. This is possible, but it's energetically impossible until both parties have entirely fallen in love with another since being with each other (and therefore pulling the energetic cord from each other and plugging it into another). At this point, you both are no longer energetically taking up space in the area of love; therefore, the two can be friends if it's healthy, evolved, respectful, completely platonic, and an equal exchange of friendship.
"Twin flames"! Look, spiritually speaking, the difference between a twin flame and a soulmate is a twin flame comes to teach you lessons and help you grow. The latter continue growing together. I believe that we have many soulmates and past life intersections in one lifetime. So chalk up all that you learned from your "twin flame" and let that expander and lesson go!
How Do I close The Portal?
It's energy, so actions mean everything.
Closing the portal means that they're not in your energy field anymore or that they're not getting any more of your energy. I don't care how you go about this, as long as what you do isn't an effort/manipulation (or hope) that it will make them step up and become the person you want. From conscious communication to deleting their number, you have to decide what this closing means for you. Whatever it is, this action says their energy needs to completely free up your space in order for your person to come through. For some, this means keeping them at a distance, and for most, this means closing the portal on them entirely.
"But why does spirituality say that I should evolve and work through any relationship?" I'm not a spiritual teacher, I'm a manifestation advisor who is here to have you actually manifest your intention.
DO
Take note of who is taking up space.
Create a timeline of everyone you've hooked up with, dated, slept with, or crushed in the last three years. Note who is still around and taking up space. Close the energy on all of them. Make sure to include any caretakers or friendships that might also be taking up this space and create healthy boundaries.
