Hi Gee,

Good to know that you may want to try that out.

No, the word ‘cut’ does not imply cutting the connection or the relationship itself. Do read all the links to understand more. It is to cut the negative energies within the relationship. But, it cannot be said what outcome Life has to serve.
i) either the attached feelings that you are currently having in your head may dissolve and you may talk to him like before, as you said that is what your expectation is
ii) or the feelings will dissolve and these thoughts no longer bother you any more and you will move on with your life

In either case, with him or without him in your life you will still be peaceful about the situation and I think that is what ultimately each one of us want in Life.

Also emphasize on the 2nd healing technique. It is a variation of Hoʻoponopono (an ancient Hawaiian healing technique).

As I said  – do it whenever those bothersome thoughts come in – whenever you feel the strong impulse to check the social accounts – stay away from your computer or mobile and start chanting the statements continuously.

Take care,
VJ
