The ego and attachment stings in the most subtle manner taking me on a merry go round. When I think of the behavior patterns of another, it indicates that I’m still holding onto an unfulfilled desire and a deep attachment towards the actions of the other. This creates a dissonance within myself, which deprives me of experiencing bliss, freedom and an innate sense of joy. The attachment clearly moves me away from staying connected to the deep wisdom of the scriptures.
The concept of detachment was given to us for a reason. We create a spider web of our agendas, desires, expectations and judgements, which keep us severely trapped.
As I was observing myself, I recognized that this was creating toxicity within my way of being. As my clients have heard me say tirelessly, language is generative. The language and narrative helps me understand how attached I am to my ego which shall only destroy me. The mind must be tamed first by awareness and then by acting upon the discovery. Transformation happens with repetitive practice until it becomes an ingrained habit.
My practice has been to consciously stop the mind from thinking about others. The results have been magical. I am listening to podcasts that inspire and uplift me. I am reading a book a week. I reflect on a poem for days and aspire to live from that space.
What will your practice be? Please feel free to share with me personally as you always do or in the comments below.
