🪞 An exploration of the ego, self-image and attachment, examining how fear can shape our sense of identity and how self-awareness, acceptance and letting go can help us reconnect with our authentic selves.
Are you attached? Are you holding onto someone, an outcome, or an identity of yourself?
The attachment you feel was never yours, or an entity to begin with.
This is the egoic mind at work: your self-images, those life experiences that make up ‘I am’.
When we feel an image of ourselves is under attack, we build walls to defend ourselves and create a feeling of separateness.
The ego is fueled by fear, and this is where desire and attachment are formed.
When we are our authentic selves, we can become the observer of the ego; we can acknowledge how we feel within the present moment.
The ego not unlike a mask; we do have the choice to wear it.
The mask can also appear when we are unaware. Bear in mind that we do not need to wear a mask, and if you choose to do so, there may come a time that you cannot remove it.
Let go of attachment by relinquishing the need to control, release what no longer serves you, and surrender to these universal energies at play.
Create space for what may be and let self-love illuminate your path towards what is for you.
Where is the universe guiding you to? There are boundless possibilities and opportunities along the way; feel for what is for you and take action when your opportunity arises.
Take the path of least resistance, trust in this process, and do not be afraid to create change if need be, for unconditional love of another and for the love of yourself.
