What is Law of Detachment: A complete Guide

Make your life better by practicing the Law of Detachment.

Many of us find security in having things under control. We need to know what is going to happen, how it’s going to happen and when will it happen. But, too many things that we didn’t plan are happening, right? Some people manage it happily whereas some struggle to keep up.

Lord Krishna ji said “Actions do not cling to me because I am not attached to their results. Those who understand this and practice this live in freedom.”

And, that is what Law of Detachment also guides us.

What is Law of Detachment??

The law of detachment tells us to not attach ourselves to the outcome and to give up our need to control situations, outcomes, and even other people. We embrace uncertainty as a part of life and see it as our means to freedom.

Detachment is best described as a process of letting go. It permits you to let go of bad situations and, at times, difficult individuals. You can gain better insight by detaching from past experiences and future expectations.

Let’s practice Law of Detachment at:

1. Work

• Set a goal
• Have patience
• Put in efforts
• But we must not attach ourselves to the outcome and the route to achieve our goals.?

"We should-?apply for every opportunity that shows up and network with people that could assist us in our goals along the way—but not expect to get every job we apply for, and trust that the right one will manifest when we are genuinely ready"

2. On a Date?

• Take things one step at a time.
• When on a date, instead of expecting "Is this the one?" Focus on here and now.?
• When we allow our-self to be more present in the moment, we will cultivate deeper connections no matter what the outcome of the relationship may be.?

3. In Love?

• Let's not jump into a relationship just because we don't want to be lonely or the last single person in our friend circle.
• Focus on our own personal development, and trust that the right one will appear at the right time.?

"Many people understand this very late. This is the reason why so many people meet their life partner after experiencing toxic relationships"?

4. In Finance?

• When we worry about money all the time, unintentionally we adopt a scarcity mindset and repel abundance?
• With money, it is about working hard, saving, and making financially wise decisions.
• Don't wait to win a huge sum of money or find someone else to take care of your expenses.

5. In Relationships (romantic and non-romantic)

• Release the need to control others.
• It will create more room for genuine connection and understanding.
• We should accept our partner, friends and family as they are instead of changing them into how we think they should be.
• When we detach, we're not concerned with what other people are doing. As a result, we have a lot more compassion and love to give.

6. General Goal Setting

• When we focus on what, when and how we want an outcome to turn out, we energetically strangle the outcome.?
• The moment when we detach our-self from how we want an outcome to turn out, is when the universe can start getting to work.??
• Go with the flow, don't resist.?

Instead of obsessing over the what, when, or how, just trust that things will work themselves out as they will. Because detachment opens up room/ creates the space for guidance from the universe.?

7. When Dealing With Doubts?

• So, what do you do when doubt starts creeping - when things are taking longer than you'd expected?

? That's when we need to trust the universe, the most.

Life will be simpler if we trust the universe for the space between where we are and where we believe we should be.?And doing that requires avoiding being upset or challenged by even the smallest things.

We must invest our time to raise our level of awareness, so that we can identify the cause of unfavourable emotions and begin to separate our-self from them.

Law of Attraction + Law of Detachment ?

Law of Attraction says that positive thoughts and feelings attracts positive results into our life, while negative thoughts and feelings attract negative results. For example- If we are continuously thinking about how bad our life is and focusing on what we don't have, we will attract situations that reinforce this.

It teaches that in order to get what we want, we must first have the intention to get what we really want, genuinely. And, ask the universe, or God, for it and believe that not only do I deserve it, but also I will receive it.

We must not have any doubt or negative feelings towards our intention because that will drive our desire away. When we do this, the universe or a higher power, will put things in place and work to fulfill our desire.

When we practice the Law of Detachment with the Law of Attraction, we detach our-self from the outcome. We make our request to the god and align our attitude to believe that we deserve it and believe that our desire will be fulfilled. We put our trust in God or universe and believe that things will come to us at the right time and in the right way.?
