Nikkimoon,
I learned early, from a dear Lady on this board, that cutting cords is tricky business. She taught about finding the root of the cord and not being too eager to cut cords as well.
From my own experience I believe that cutting a cord should be looked at like psychic surgery. Clear communication with the client is very important. Ask these questions: Are they aware of the cord or symptoms of one? can they visualize it at all? What characteristics would they give to the cord? If it is removed or cut what will they LOOSE by the removal or cut?
You can add to these questions but get the idea. Ther emoval of anything is a loss even if it is something that was not "good" for them.
Final words: Be careful, Go slow :))
Love and light,
Tracey
