Do any of these resonate with you?
When you’re attached to any objects or results, you’re not free. Your essential aliveness has gone underground, and your
stuck in tunnel vision, focusing on
Even though these attachments are highly conditioned, they’re not a life sentence. But they’re not going to magically disappear either.
That’s why you need to learn to surf the urge.
Behind
any of these compulsive behaviors is an urge to do them. Surf the urge without acting on it, and you’ve taken one giant step toward freedom.
How do you surf the urge? Stop, breathe, and allow.
- Stop moving. Stop planning, negotiating, or thinking your way out of it. Just stop.
- Breathe. Take a long, slow, deep conscious breath, inhaling and
exhaling. It’s the reset you need.
- Allow the urge to be present. Expand into the vast field of awareness and welcome the energies and sensations that appear.
Do this every time, and the power of
the urge will start to weaken.
When you stop acting on urges, you’ll start to discover what’s been driving them. And then you get real—feeling the fear of being vulnerable, of showing up just as you are, or of resting in stillness.
These are the hidden fears that have been asking for your loving attention all along. Welcome them in like your long-lost child knocking at your door.
Always in
love,
