What are you willing to give up to feel peace right now?

What this episode covers

In our lives we are attached to many things. We are attached to objects, feelings, emotions, opinions, thoughts and desires. When we are attached we are imprisoned by our own mind’s limited perceptions and expectations. When we become detached we open ourselves to possibility, spontaneity and freedom from suffering. We are no longer limited to our minds old habits and paradigms. When we suffer we are confused, muddled and collapsed. To become detached is to become free. Detachment is freedom from suffering. Look at what you can give up to feel the peace that is present in this moment. Are you holding onto anger, fear, loneliness, sadness, expectations or desires? Ask yourself, “Do I want to feel anger, fear, loneliness or depression more that I want to feel peace right now?” Peace is always present Freedom is always present Stillness is always present Get out a sheet of paper and put this down at the top: What am I willing to let go of to feel peace right now? Look at what you are feeling right now and ask yourself for each emotion, thought or feeling: Would I rather feel this or would I rather feel peace?
