Emotional attachments are what we hold in our lives for security. We emotionally attach to people, places, things, traditions and beliefs with a feeling that if we lose what we are attached to, we would be devastated. We are most often not even aware that we are attached or how we would feel with loss, until it happens unexpectedly and we suffer.

We find comfort in our relationships, family, material possessions, and our business, social and education statuses. There is nothing wrong with having relationships, owning assets of any kind or holding a specific societal status. The problem lies in our belief that our worth would be diminished if we were to lose what we are holding as security.

True security is in knowing our true nature. Knowing the truth of who we are is to feel completely secure without any added qualities. We may feel sad to lose something of value, but we do not suffer. Our sadness, does not linger for long amounts of time. We allow life to flow as it comes and go as it may.

Emotional attachments are restrictions to our freedom. We live attached to what we believe will give us security. In our perceived security there is familiarity. We hold attachments to familiar feelings that our being feels aligned with, even if these feelings are destructive to our lives. We live for what we are attached to and only see the attached as a way to our happiness, but the contentment that we find in our emotional attachments is transitory. We will always find ourselves searching for something more. We live with limitations.

We balance our emotions when we balance unresolved emotional memory that is keeping us tied to past trauma and a life of suffering. We heal when we face our pain for the truth that it is and our opening to the truth that we see dissolves our suffering, as we know it. Our emotional attachments cannot stand up to truth; they fall away in knowing the true security of our being.

We break the cycle of suffering, when we align with truth and see that we are limitless beings of freedom, love, joy and peace without added emotional attachments. In truth, we can enjoy relationships and various things without feeling devastated if we lose them. We live true to ourselves and live in the flow of life. We live healthy and free.

Let’s be healthy together.

Peace, love, light and balanced health to all.
