I always struggle with practicing non-attachment. I understand that so much of our suffering comes from wanting things to be other than how they are, and that a large part of this is becoming too attached to the people, places and things in our lives. It’s been very hard for me to accept that nothing lasts forever, no matter how hard we may try to make it that way. People come and go, and no amount of love or worry can change that. At the end of the day, the only person we have is the person in the mirror, and even that comes to an end eventually. So today I am reminding myself to just be grateful for the time we have, and to stop putting so much energy into worrying about how long that will last. Nothing is forever, and that’s okay. #practicingnonattachment #nothingisforever #gothgirl #gothstyle #gothfashion #gothclothing #gothaesthetic #gothmakeup #gothootd #gothgoth #gothgrunge #casualgoth #tradgoth #mallgoth #industrialgoth #gothgirlsofinstagram #altgirl #altstyle #altfashion #altclothing #altmakeup #altaesthetic #alternative #punkgirl #punkstyle #punkfashion #punkclothing #punkmakeup #emogirl #tattooedgirls
Attachment is the nearest enemy of love. We usually expect a lot from our relationships - especially the supply of a sense of wellbeing. But actually one should realise that someone else will never be able to make us happy. The illusion of that sits deep connected with our own ego and the self esteem we have which we want to get lifted by another person. I think it will take me a lifetime to understand this deeply and to life up to it since I of course see my own Ego getting in my way all the time especially when it comes to romantic love… I guess that’s only human. Try to love unconditionally, try to let go of attachment. #buddhistthoughts #practicingnonattachment #practicingmetta #purelove #overcomeyourego #loveunconditionally #letgoofattachment
LOVE IS FREEDOM!! Don't attach love with people Become love Love is not something physical. It's a frequency of God It's a way of living Give love When you expect love, then it becomes attachment But when you become love and give it unconditionally, it becomes FREEDOM! Freedom is the highest expression of love! ❤️ #LoveISFreedom #PracticingNonattachment #ItsWork #LoveIsENERGY #LoveIsFrequency #LoveISGod #TUNEIN 🌟 🤩
Aparigraha, or non-attachment, is the 5th Yama, or 5th principle of the first limb of yoga. I was recently faced with the opportunity to practice this principle when I got a new phone. I had dropped the old one a few times too many and needed a new one. Although all of my apps transferred over magically (I swear it was magic), my progress in the multiple games that I play did not. I was faced with the choice of starting over, Googling for hours on how to get back my progress, or to let it all go. Read my newest Substack post about practicing Non-Attachment.

And so it begins at home!!! My first attempt crashed and burned with me laughing at myself as it collapsed…this is try number two…step one done….only 3 steps to go before it’s done…fingers crossed as I had a piece explode this week AND break a second one…oh well…pottery is a journey with many legs. #practicingnonattachment #thatsthewaythepotterybreaks #potterslifeforme #artistslife #learningnewskills #standinginmypower #steppingintomystory
As you head into a new week, practice nonattachment. Find your place. Lean into the things, people, and experiences that make you feel good! #nonattachment #practicingnonattachment #therapy #mdtherapy #columbiamd
Happy Sunday folks! I've been thinking about this idea of practicing lately and then I stumbled upon this quote from one of my favs @elizabeth_gilbert_writer . I've been thinking about what it means to practice and more specifically about what I've been practicing lately. For the last year or so I've been practicing non attachment. Buddha once said "The root of suffering is attachment." > Non attachment < is also one of the Yama's as outlined in Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga. (The Yama's are essentially moral guidelines by which to live with regards to our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us. ) I sometimes feel that the idea of non attachment is vastly misunderstood. It doesn't mean that we don't care. It isn't the elimination of desire. To me it is the practice of relinquishing control and being actively receptive to life and all it throws our way. It works with pretty much anything: attachment to feelings, ideologies, careers, things, people, places etc. I've been practicing letting go. Letting go of any attachment I have to what might have been, could have been, should have been. It doesn't mean I've become passive or jaded but rather that I'm remaining open and enthusiastic to possibilities I might not have envisaged. It isn't always easy. But there is liberation here. And look I know we all like to know what's ahead for us, we like to feel in control, but what about practicing leaning into the unknown a little? Remaining curious. Remain open. Remaining non attached. To desire without attachment to the outcome is also one of the primary principals of manifestation. So maybe Buddha and Patanjali were onto something. And hey if it's good enough for Oprah right... ?! What are you practicing this year? This month or this week even? I'd love to hear about it.
You manifest more by letting go than you do by holding on. ☕️ . . . . #letitflow #letitgo #practicingnonattachment #details
Why surrender is one of the most empowering spiritual lessons - and how to put it into practice. 🔻🔻🔻 💫 Instead of asking to be shown the answers, ask to have the faith to navigate the unknown. ⛰️ 💫 Instead of focusing on manifesting what you *think* you want, ask for the courage to be open to receiving whatever is for your highest and greatest good. 💎 💫 Instead of asking for help to be better or do better, try saying “thank you” as though you have already received it - the energetic shift in this is very powerful. ❤️🔥✨ Surrender actually empowers us, because when we know that everything is happening FOR us and not TO us, we are empowered to take soul-aligned steps into the most incredible and courageous places. What are you surrendering? 💕 ✧ 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭! ✨🌹🙏🏻 . . . . #aparigraha #divineguidance #intuitivedevelopment #spiritualgrowth #practicingnonattachment #manifestation #divinefeminine #divinefemininerising #healingandgrowthjourney #trustyourintuition

The word Reiki implies two things - 1) The Japanese system created by Mikao Usui 2) Energy - Reiki is the Japanese word for universal energy (rei=universal, ki=energy. The word ki can be compared to chi (Taoism) prana (Ayurveda), pneuma (Greek) and so, so, so many others. There is only one “system” of Reiki. It was developed in the 19th century by Mikao Usui and drew from many ancient traditions including animism. Japanese Reiki does not work with the Chakra system. It works with the organs and the meridian system. There are many, many newer systems out there using the word Reiki. Some of them claim to be using a newer, more refined energy of a higher vibration. We honestly don’t understand how that could be true. That’s like saying that we have been playing music using only the middle couple of octaves and then we suddenly start using high C and claim that high C is somehow superior to middle C. The system of Reiki includes the 5 Principles (guidelines), meditation, chanting, self-healing, hand-on-healing of others. It was designed primarily as a “lifestyle” program to make life easier and more joyful. It was not designed to remove us from the “physical”, but rather to support us in enjoying it more fully. The system of Reiki does not include psychic or intuitive guidance (of others) or crystal healing or any of the other add-ons we often associate it with. Your “psychic” or “intuitive” abilities may become more pronounced after being attuned to Reiki. You will develop your intuition for sure. We want to help you find your intuition, not give you ours. They are not a piece of the system. In fact, Usui might have found them to be somewhat of a distraction because the ultimate goal is self-knowledge. #crystalreading #psychichealing #psychic #metaphysical #energyhealing #chakrahealing #intuition #channeling #spiritualawakening #spiritualguidance #nonattachmentpractice #practicingnonattachment #practicenonattachment #selfawareness #psychicreading #psychicreadings #reikiclasses #trustyourselffirst #westcoastreikicentre #vancouverreiki #thecentre

Fear moves you into CONDITIONAL Love. When you put stipulations on relationships based on your fears, you cut yourself off from so many possibilities. That was the message I heard in meditation today. It felt so powerful, especially based on the state of the world right now, that I felt compelled to share. The questions I will be asking myself often are … “what if I could allow everything to just be okay?” “What if I could just let go of control and judgement about others and their choices?” And… “what if I got really really practiced with loving non-attachment? What might I be able to put all that wasted fearful energy towards instead??!!” May we all release our traumas and fear so that we can move into alignment with all the possibilities that come our way for our highest good❤️. Loving you all deeply, no matter what you choose, no matter who you engage with, and no matter what my preferences are. ❤️❤️❤️a. #loveis #practicingnonattachment #fearnot
A couple days ago I lost the 💎 in my engagement ring. I was beating a rug out on the fire escape, washed my hands, realized it was gone and was like 😳 I have a few theories as to why this happened: A. Genetics. My mom lost her wedding ring and the ring she inherited from her Aunt Bernice. My mom’s wedding ring was found decades later and I wore it and then promptly lost it when I was living in Honduras. Now I’ve lost the diamond of my Great Aunt Florence’s ring, which I inherited from Aunt Betz. So mom and I are 2-2. B. Destiny. I proposed to Dan and neither of us had purchased an engagement ring. I didn’t know I was going to inherit a ring so I boldly declared that I didn’t need an engagement ring. The universe heard and acted accordingly. C. Random act of chance. (Seems unlikely) What do you think the answer is?? 🤔 #genetics #destiny #random #nonattachment #practicingnonattachment

Everything Changes. Nothing is Permanent. So much of our anxiety and stress stems from trying to control all that we cannot. Believing that nothing will change when shit hits the fan or when life is amazing, cripping onto it so tightly because you want it to be like this forever. Both are untruths. One of the most important teachings we can share with our Littles and absorb ourselves at any stage in our life: is stepping back, opening your heart and observing the flow of life as a sacred witness. The changing seasons teaches us this practice effortlessly. 1. A few questions to ponder with your Littles: Have you taken the time to notice that things change every day? For instance, the weather? Maybe a tree has a new bud? Has a flower blossomed? Are your nails longer than last week? Is a friend's hair different? 2. How does this make you feel? Consider how some changes are big and others are small. Notice that you may even feel differently about one change to another. And that is okay. 3. Now, look around you or consider your current world. Find one thing that has stayed the same since yesterday... and one thing that has changed. 4. Take a moment to write, draw or tell someone how you feel about these changes. Have fun families! Much Love, Sunshine Raven XX #everythingchanges #nonattachment #practicingnonattachment #childrenmindfulness #childrenmeditation #nothingispermanent #familyfun #sacredwitness #anxiety #openyourheart #flowoflife
On a more human, honest note: I’m so ready for warmer days!! March is such a tease here in the Midwest. One day it’s 70 degrees, next it’s 40 degrees. A true test to our patience, presence and attachments. Lol. I had an amazing winter—truly. My appreciation for the cold has grown immensely, and now I’m so, so ready for warmth and outdoor play that is sticky, sweaty, and buggy. Nonetheless, the budding trees are still beautiful in 40 degree weather. This too shall pass, so they say. Trusting. Embracing. Allowing. 😩😅🙏🌿🌸🌞⛄️🤷🏻♀️ #surrendering #practicingnonattachment #practicingpresence #seasonalliving #itsallyoga #findinggratitude #honesty #authenticity #trusttheprocess #humannature #embracewhatis
I’ve been thinking a lot about Buddha’s teachings of non-attachment over the last few days. I received some disappointing news over the weekend (I’ll share more about it in time) and was reminded of the practice of shifting the energy tone of our pursuits and focusing on the journey rather than a specific destination. I had an experience a few months ago that I swear still makes me laugh and will remain the clearest reminder of this lesson as long as I live… I got a flat tire one night and had to call roadside assistance to change it. The very lovely gentleman told me that I can only drive 80k an hour with the spare tire and that I needed to get it changed as soon as possible the following day. He was kind enough to inform me that the back road home had been flooded earlier that afternoon and so I would be best and safest to take the highway. The drive home was extremely nerve wracking on the 100km highway. It was pitch black, I was anxious because the car handled differently and in a way I wasn’t used to and there were many trucks and cars that I kept having to pull over to let them pass and deal with their aggression until there was a safe place to do so. I will just add that this experience has made me a much more tolerant driver since, towards those going slower than the speed limit 🤣 The next morning before leaving to get the tire replaced I begged the Universe to give me a clear run into town, so that I didn’t annoy other drivers and I could safely remain under 80km an hour. I nervously got back in the car and as I turned onto the highway, I was met with a line of traffic further than I could see in front of me. It stretched out for kilometers and not a single car could drive above 60km an hour due to roadworks. The back up of traffic meant the entire trip into town was bumper to bumper. I have never been more grateful or laughed so hard in my life. Sometimes we get the outcome we want but it arrives in a completely different way to our expectation. Sometimes we get an opportunity to surrender instead and trust that the journey’s joy and lessons were the destination. So come at me, Universe. Let’s co-create the next joyful journey 💜

❤️As the dust settles on this most recent full moon 🌕, for me, and I begin to meander through the newest season, Scorpio ♏️ ~ there’s a sense of clearer seeing (with less of the intensity and fear that came through last week), clarity in my position in this world, right now, where I’m at ~ aligned in both my internal feels and my offerings and my new found sense, or should I say, remembering, that external choice is an illusion ~ that how we are, be and react in this world, in our day to day lives is really the only choice we have the power of albeit the most powerful. With this in mind ~ this mantra 🕉 flashed before my eyes this afternoon and really feels aligned with how I want to begin this week and embody fully. Non-attachment ~ the practice of seeing, hearing, feeling without attaching to whatever is going on internally and externally ~ a way to stay “in flow” and aligned. It definitely doesn’t come easily, being human and all BUT it is possible.

Don’t give up. Keep going. Keep growing. 9 years ago today & I’ll never not share this. It’s not Your typical IG post. I don’t care. This was my 2nd (of 3) surgeries for endometriosis. I was in a dark place. I was in pain CONSTANTLY. I told myself this would heal me. It did. For a while. Here’s the thing, I have a *chronic* illness. There’s no cure. I have had long periods of remission. I have gone years feeling great. Right now I’m on day 3 of a flare up. This happens. This will probably continue to happen for years to come. Or maybe it won’t 🤷♀️ like with all things in life there’s no guarantee. I’ve learned to be strong. I’ve learned to rest. I’ve learned not to be attached to outcomes. And mostly I’ve learned not to give up. On my dreams. On myself. On love. On life. Never. Give. Up.
Some more Edinburgh wandering today. I walked down Cockburn street and practiced the art of non-attachment through window shopping. It’s wonderful to be able to appreciate beautiful things without feeling the need to own them. I remember hearing @eckharttolle talking about this in an interview with @oprah years ago, telling her he would look in shops and think to himself (presumably in a German accent): “That’s nice. I’ll leave it there.” She thought it was hilarious but if you think about it, this is what wee do with nature all the time. If we can appreciate a sunset or a flower without having to possess it, why can’t we do it with objects as well? Where’s your favourite place to window shop? #beautifuledinburgh #wandering #nonattachmentpractice
Bye bye summer…hello 🐢necks! … This week in class we slowwwed down and gave room for silence… … Because every season we enter brings a new start… And also, every season we leave needs a good send off… … It can be a hard practice to acknowledge the end of the current state of things, of ourselves, of others… but when we do this, we make room for the impending change to grow into something palpable… … So this week we grieved, yes grieved (the flip side of love, after what we love leaves us), and gave time to appreciate our summer… not to forget, but to remember… … and to commit to move forward into the space of possibility for the Fall 🍁 … #TherapeuticYoga #Autumn #Fall #Turtlenecks #GriefCycle #Appreciation #change #Readiness #StagesOfLife #StagesOfGrief #StagesOfLove #PracticingNonAttachment #Aparigraha

Part of owning your truth, is facing your truth. So much is said in silence. Silence is an answer, whether it is or isn’t what you wanted to hear. Create your path unapologetically and fearlessly.

Journal Prompt of the Day: Where did scarcity show up in my relationships today? How would abundance look instead? . . . Whew y'all this is a tough one for me to crack. I have a tendency to get majorly internally controlling about relationships, even loose acquaintances and find this terribly embarrassing and one of the reasons I don't hang out with a lot of people. If someone does something I disagree with I have a hard time not resenting them for it. Intellectually I know that I will never have 100% context for their decisions and more importantly it's *NONE* of my business. But still I get caught up in it. . Where this came up recently was I gave money to an acquaintance of mine that they stated would be used for an intended purpose. They did not use it for this purpose and I legit got ticked off. Like I had the urge to go gossip about them, wanted to call them out on social media, just a whole ass mean girl trip. . And then I was thinking what am I even mad about? In abundance there is enough for everyone. If I give them part of my pile of magic beans I'm just spreading love and good energy around, no matter how that plays out. My urge to control them, however much in the background of their existence, is total scarcity mindset: There isn't enough energy to go around, I must only give away what I can control. I must manage others to my standards with the giving and taking of energy. . It was such a healing moment to realize this, and let go of the outcome and my mean girl hold I had over this person's business. . Have you done this lately? If so how could you change your mindset and do better?

“However you must do it, to truly understand. When you say ‘Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ it will slowly remove all of the bad decisions you have ever made. The more you repeat the words the more you make your life clearer. The more you chant it the closer you get to your true nature. Your true nature is the right way of thinking and the right way of acting. The longer you go on this path, the more you avoid making wrong decisions. The Lotus Sutra helps me in my daily life. It is indeed mystical! And my life has proven this! “- Tina Turner. 💚💚💚 My Dad took my sister and I to see Tina Turner at the Worcester Centrum (now the DCU Center) in 1985.

You know that feeling when you lose something you think you need, spend time working patiently to get it back, only to find out that when you do: the experience of the thing is now more treasured and at the same time less “needed” than ever before? . I think I’ve accidentally stumbled upon Buddhism. . #JustRun #BackfromInjury #PracticingNonAttachment
We are half-way through the week and as the school year begins (or nears, depending upon where you live), I feel a lot of fear stirring. Fear of the unknown, fear of how dramatically different school might be, fear of what the future holds for ourselves and our children...all of these stem from one thing: attachment. In this case, attachment to the illusion that we are in control in the first place. The paradox is that the only true guarantee in life is change. But we stand so firm in our attachment to what “was” and how things “should be,” that we rob ourselves of the beauty in the present moment. Whatever life looks now...take a moment today to embrace what IS, without comparing it to what WAS. There is no power in the past. It is truly wasted energy. What IS can be beautiful and perfect in its own way. Your only power lies in your RESPONSE to change...because change is inevitable (whether we like it or not!) And you are more powerful than you could ever possibly know. All together now, “I release attachment to the past, and embrace today with enthusiasm, love and ease.” Namaste❤️🙏 #healingwithkristin #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen #letitgo #practicingnonattachment #buddhaquotes #energyhealing #reikienergy #momlife #releasing #changeisgood #changeyourthoughts #mindsetmatters #energyiseverything #liveyourtruth #lifeisgood❤️

Nonattachment. There's that word again. It is such a practice. Personally, I get less attached to things, houses, cities, but perhaps because of this, I tend to attach to people, memories, and the glorified version of both these things. Enjoying the journey and the moment, and being free to let go when that is what's best is the challenge. #dailycalm #dailymeditation #itsajourney #practicingnonattachment
Practicing non-attachement is an essential part of my yoga practice 🙏🏻✨ It is a constant process of reflecting on the difference between the things I want and the things I truly need. When we mix up the two we can feel bound or limited by needs that are really just constructs of our own mind. Learning to let go is important in order to feel free and soar high 🦋 📷: @goddess.is.within #lettinggo #feelfree #practicingnonattachment #bethechange #yogalife #yogainspiration #sustainabelles

And I’m wishing someone didn’t let me go the way the did, but everything is a learning lesson. #yogijelli #asanastellstories #learningoffmymataswellason #practicepracticepractice #practicepatience #trustintheuniverse #fullwheel #urdvadhanurasana #adhomukhavrksasana #adhomukhasvanasana #letgo #practicingnonattachment #newbeginnings #selfawareness #egocheck
When we PRACTICE NONATTACHMENT we are making conscious decisions to "let go" of something. Have you noticed a shift in your perspective in the last several weeks? This is a season of examination, growth, and change. One of our greatest teachers is Jesus. As we observe Good Friday, may we look at the teachings of Jesus and the messages that stir within our hearts. 💗 • • • • #nonattachment #practicenonattachment #nonattachmentpractice #practicingnonattachment #consciousshift #consciousdecisions #changeofperspective #perspectiveschange #examineyourheart #examineyourlife #makechoices #youdecide #growthandchange #goodfriday #jesusteaching #dailyhappyrocks #bethanykirwenfineart #bethanykirwen #paintedrocksofencouragement #paintedrocksofinstagram #perpetualcalendar #dailydesktopcalendar #paintedstonesofinstagram #changeyourlife #changeyourperspective #behealthyandhappy #behealthyinsideandout
Remembering past disasters while in the midst of current ones. "The Flood that Wasn't a Flood" or "The Day it Rained in the Library."

Today was my last day at Mount Mahabharat. We had a beautiful fire and chanted mantras, sang songs, and meditated in the nearby forest. It was beautiful and calming as the waves of change and uncertainty wash over each of us in this surreal time. It feels so strange to know I will leave tomorrow, especially as I am stepping away from my safe haven as this global crisis continues to emerge. I’ve been looking forward to my next step, but this place has become deeply embedded in my heartspace. These people - the family who so graciously has opened their home to me as well as the incredible guests that have come through, will remain an extended family. My plan from here is to go trekking. It has been such a dream to immerse myself in the Himalayas, and now I’ve been gazing at them every clear day for the last two months. I’m practicing some non-attachment to outcomes though; everything is in upheaval here as well: schools closing, flight destinations being restricted, gatherings discouraged. Nepal has no active cases right now but the country is terrified that the health system will not be able to handle an outbreak should it occur and therefore is taking extreme precautions. Mount Everest is closed; all spring climbing expeditions to all mountains have been cancelled. Foreigners can only enter the country with a special doctor’s note. While I’ve been in the country for two months, I have to get a doctors note before my trekking permit will be issued. If everything goes well, I hope to send inspiration back home in the form of stories and photographs from beautiful mountains and spiritual places, maybe even share some guided meditation from the incredible Himalayas. .

Dear Outer Erika, My intention this year is to keep growing in my business without fear and to keep the drive and momentum I’ve created. I’m in the vortex now. Outer Erika, I want you to corporate. I want you to stop doubting yourself, worrying about what other people think, and stop doing things that aren’t adding to my growth such as Netflix and mindless phone use. Now, adult self will take responsibility for this. I know you were only trying to help... but I’ve let you run loose out there on your own. But now I’m going to call the shots and keep the momentum going that I’ve worked so hard for. Here’s how I’m going to do things different: A. Limit non beneficial phone use B. Limit Netflix instead watch more educational videos in my downtime # C. Write sticky note reminders through my home place D. Show up for all my team calls within Breakaway E. Be more consistent with my posts for my biz F. Be more proactive of finding Kangen water to have for myself (Thank you to those who have shared so far!) G. Look to people who inspire me and spend more time with them H. Be confident within me and living without fear if judgement and listening to my adult Erika voice more often I. Finding a balance of being gentle with my self and pushing myself! I suggest writing a letter to your outer child, the reactionary side of you that you just let slip and you feel hard on yourself about. Creating a dialogue between Adult you and Outer child you can really be effective! Inner child you is the emotional side and you can also create a dialogue with her. This is great way to tame your outer child and have a better self living relationship with YOU. ✨Unpeeling the onion layers of the Self - the process has already begun and I will continue to keep the positive momentum going that I’ve already created ✨ #nofilter - this is me 💖 #inthevortex #tamingtheouterchild #livingwithoutfear #bossgirl #iseeme #iknowmypotential #motivated #healthylifestyle #vegetariangirl #innerchildhealed #adultselfcare #entrepreneurship #kangenwater #practicingnonattachment

This last week, I felt like I was being put through a massive universal initiation. I had been feeling the call about 2 weeks ago to slow down and go within, but work and life took over and my practice fell short of being a priority. We often resist what we need the most and I was subconsciously resisting this initiation, this ascendance. Learning multiple lessons through pain is not for the faint of heart. It’s for 𝓖𝓸𝓭𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼 and 𝔚𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔬𝔯𝔰 who are ready to take that leap of faith, surrender and trust that if they sit with the pain, face their own shadows, release and heal, all will align, in divine timing and in their highest and best. This is wonderful in theory, but when you’re busy going through the motions of 3rd plane human life, these wounds come at you from left field when you least expect it. When you continue to do “the work” without numbing, healing does get easier and quicker, but it’s still painful and every aspect of it needs to be felt so we can transmute and alchemize. Some of the lessons I learned this week (yup all in the span of a few days!): 〰️ 〰️〰️〰️ 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️🦄 𝗚𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🦄 𝗘𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 🦄 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🦄 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 - 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲 🦄 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 - 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 🦄 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 🦄 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🦄 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 That last one is a biggie. Sometimes we think we’ve done a lot of healing and that we’re clear for a while, but when we become cocky and let our ego get the best of us, the universe will present us with a painful situation to get us off our high horse and back onto the ground and on our knees in no time. So stay humble and remember that we are all students on this journey we signed up for. The lessons will be there until the day we leave our physical bodies so keep doing the work even if it’s hard and stay grounded. Continued in comments...

goodbye august. goodbye summer. i’m practicing non-attachment to you, and struggling. I am going to spend tonight meditating and focusing on how many phenomenal moments we caught this summer; fleeting and beautiful and perfect. || #practicingnonattachment #aparigraha #solongsweetsummer #familieslikemine #yogimama
We proclaim our attachment to one another in so many ways these days. Photos of engagements, weddings, baby showers, births, and families get more "likes" and attention than thoughts, revelations, goals, and recognition. There is such intense value on who and how we are connected to others - be it a family member, partner/spouse, or children. And yet, when we really dig deep behind these images and relationships, it is often discovered that there is fear around what could go wrong, how things could unravel, so much so that we focus solely on the successes and brush the lessons (not failures) under the rug. Whether this attachment is to another adult or child or even career path, it seems to me we have forgotten the healthy elements of attachment. In no way is attachment all bad - it serves as a means of basic survival. We need one another on an instinctual level, assurance that we will not be left alone to fend for ourselves in a world of chaos and disconnection. But true, mature attachments have roots in respect. For love to blossom between two souls, there needs to be a recognition and understanding of the sanctity that is our independence, our differing experiences and life transitions while being integrated in to this reality, be it through childhood, adolescence, or other major life shifts. The lenses we all view this life through are completely different - and that's what makes relationships so thrilling and exciting! When we attach to someone with this knowing and honoring of separateness, we can see that the relationships we have with others serve as nothing more than wonderful opportunities to navigate this life outside of our own interpretation. Relationships give us the gift of connected wisdom, each person sharing their perception of a road navigated together. When we approach the integration of another soul in to our lives with respect, we can truly understand the depth and dynamics of love. Love is supportive and not stifling. It is nurturing and not controlling. It is the only path to true happiness and not a means of escape from growth and change. I see you & I love you!
