This ritual is designed to help you release any energetic ties to something hurtful in your past that you still carry with you even though it is no longer serving you. You will need a piece of string or twine, a pair of scissors, and something to ground you afterwards. I recommend really focusing on creating a safe sacred space before you start this ritual, and having your circle be a strong container for your powerful emotions. Feeling safe is incredibly important as you surrender your emotions and allow them to flow through you and out of you as you cut the cord.
