A Joyful Letting Go
Once we can see the attachment, we can practice with it, and see if we can release the attachment.
- Breathe. Turn towards the present moment.
- Let yourself feel the emotion associated with the attachment. Just be with it, mindfully, and feel it as a sensation in the body.
- Ask if the attachment is serving you.
- Ask would it could be like without the attachment.
- Joyfully release the attachment like releasing your grip on a balloon … and let it float away! See if you can experience a few moments without the attachment, and see what that’s like. What’s available to you when you are free of the attachment?
