This week's podcast dives into the concept of unattachment.
"Attachment is that which follows identification with pleasurable experiences." -Yoga Sutras
"Aversion is that which follows identification with painful experiences." - Yoga Sutras
Attachment and aversion are both rooted in fear of pain and a longing for pleasurable/pleasant experiences. When we are willing to understand that nothing in this life is permanent, not even feelings of discomfort, we become capable of practicing unattachment.
Not even our bodies withstand the test of time. Unattachment (vairagya) is an invitation to embrace every experience with an open mind and open heart, devoid of clinging and fully present to what is unfolding. Practicing unattachment is a way to acknowledge the impermanent nature of existence and embrace change and let go. Rather than cling onto stories of how life should be and hold onto resentment and disappointment when things don't go our way, we can choose to graciously let go and open our hearts to the way things are and gratefully keep flowing along our path.
When life invites us to let go, we have two choices, one is to leap and fly, the other is to hang on and be dragged. Change is inevitable. How we deal with change determines how aligned we are with the higher unfolding of our life path.
When we choose to willingly embrace the flow of our life and surrender our attachments over and over, we become fully present and immersed in the flow of existence. In this, we will always feel as if we are leaping and sure enough every single time, our wings catch us in the free-fall.
"Let go or be dragged."- Zen slogan
