LOCK-DOWN DAY-6 Monday ( 30th March 2020)
Those who seek security in the exterior world chase it for a lifetime. By letting go of our attachment to the illusion of security, which is really an attachment to the known, we step into the field of all possibilities. This is where we will find true happiness, abundance, and fulfillment.
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” –Helen Keller
When we embark on a journey, our mind naturally wants to know all the details ahead of time. Where exactly are we going and how long will it take? Will we be safe and comfortable and enjoy ourselves? When we begin a spiritual journey, the mind’s need for certainty is only intensified.
Life’s uncertainty can feel unsettling and even threatening at times, but it’s also the source of our greatest joy. When we let go of the need to know how things will turn out, we can experience the spontaneity and unanticipated pleasures of the present moment. In reality, there are no safe paths. We can’t buy traveler’s insurance for our life’s journey, and we can’t be sure of our destination.
By opening ourselves to uncertainty, even if just a little bit at a time, we release our self-imposed limitations and allow our life and spiritual journey to unfold in ways more wondrous and fulfilling than we could have imagined.
Today let yourself release the need to know – if only for a few moments. Take one small step into uncertainty, knowing that you’re always supported by the universe.
Detachment takes practice, and it reveals itself in stage
- ACKNOWLEDGMENT : Acknowledgment doesn't just mean recognizing that we want something badly or that we are feeling loss. When we want something, feel how we want it—find the wanting feeling in our body. When we are feeling cocky about a victory, be with the part of our self that wants to beat us chest and say, "Me, me, me!" Rather than pushing away the anxiety. fear of losing what we care about, let it come up and breathe into it. And when we are experiencing the hopelessness of actual loss, allow it in. Let our self cry.
- SELF-INQUIRY: To begin the self-inquiry part of the process, bring our self into contact with our inner witness. Then explore the energy In the feelings. As we go deeper into this energy, its knotty, sticky quality will start to dissolve—for the time being. In any process for working with feelings, it's important to find a way to explore our feelings that allows us both to be present with them and to stand a little aside from them.
- PROCESSING : detachment when we realize that we have actually gained something, even if it's just a lesson in what not to do.
- FREEDOM : It's no small thing. Every time we free ourselves from one of those sticky feelings, we unlock another link in what the yogic texts call the chain of bondage.
- CREATIVE ACTION: Detachment when we able to start something new with real enthusiasm for the doing of it, rather than out of the need to prove something.
