When I Watch That Attachment Happening, I See The Beliefs That I Have Around It. If Somebody's Not Paying Attention To Me In A Certain Way, In My Mind, It Means They Don't Love Me Or They Don't Respect Me. Bringing Awareness To The Beliefs That Are Underneath The Attachment And Bringing Awareness To The Way My Body And Heart Are Tightening, Helps Me Wake Up And Re-inhabit A Larger Space Of Being. Holding On And Pushing Away Might Be Going On But I'm Freer To Respond In A Healthy Way.

The Next Time You Find Yourself In Some Way Trying Desperately To Land Safely, Your Compassion Might Be What Finally Gives You The Courage You Need To Let Go Of The Controls. In Doing So, You Might Discover That Each Time You Let Go, It Becomes Easier And Easier To Re-enter The Atmosphere Of Your Own Aliveness. Gradually You’ll Come Home To The Flow Of Your Own Living Presence, The Warmth And Space Of Your Awakening Heart.
