silver cord
The silver cord, in metaphysical studies and literature, often refers to a life-giving linkage or energetic connection from a person's physical body to their astral or spiritual body. This cord allows people to astral travel or have out-of-body experiences, and it is believed to sever upon death. The concept has roots in various spiritual traditions, including Ecclesiastes in the Bible which mentions a silver cord being snapped at death.

Silver cord
The silver cord in metaphysical studies and literature, also known as the sutratma or life thread of the antahkarana, refers to a life-giving linkage from the higher self down to the physical body. It also refers to an extended synthesis of this thread and a second that connects the physical body to the etheric body, onwards to the astral body and finally to the mental body. In other research, it is described as a strong, silver-colored, elastic cord which joins a person's physical body to its astral body. Alfred Ballabene, an astral projector whose works are mostly published and accessed online, observed that during his out-of-body experiences "glue-like strings" appear as the astral body tries to separate itself from the physical body. As the astral body moves further away from the tangible body, some of the strings break apart and clump into a specific and smaller region - preferably the head, breast, back, stomach, and the abdomen area - thus forming the silver cord. Some prophets and soothsayers in ancient times also claimed to have seen the silver cord during their out-of-body experiences
