Detachment

Detachment is essential for moving forward. When we are attached, no matter to what or to whom, we are somehow held back. Detachment gives us freedom and makes us at peace with ourselves.

Being emotionally attached is a burden, no matter what the emotion may be. It keeps us from using our full potential. It is the break that stops us from being what we are because we stop to consider what is around us, and that could hinder our moves in any direction we may wish to take. By that we do not mean to be emotionless, but to be our true selves and respond to our inner inclination.

Detachment is extensive and we can find ourselves lost in its many avenues and criteria that can give way to misinterpretations. We can see this in close relationships. When discussing the subject, one of the partners may say that detachment is the best way to carry on with the relationship. If the full meaning of the word “detachment” is not understood there will be problems, and the one who does not understand it will treat the word as “abandonment”, “separation”, “indifference” or anything but the right meaning.

When we work on our self-development, detachment plays a big part because we have the freedom to move without anyone or anything pulling us back.

We hear people say that they cannot make a trip they would very much like to because their partners do not like travelling. Imagine being trapped because your spouse is holding you back emotionally. There are all kinds of examples where people are emotionally attached and that cord keeps them from being themselves and doing what they most like doing.

When we are detached from our husbands or wives, parents or children, friends, homes or objects, we are closer to them. Our love and dedication is stronger: it comes from the natural source rather than from our impermanent feelings that keep changing according to our moods and the influences that move them. Loving with detachment is a more reliable love, more sincere and honest. It is transparent, free from envy, jealousy, manipulation, guilt and more. It gives us peace of mind, a sense of belonging to the whole world and the whole world belonging to us in equal terms. There are those who will find this idea far-fetched, because they tend to be sceptical about anything new coming their way. Being open to the new will encourage our expansion and creativity.

If you are very tightly attached, it may be painful to pull away and it can take time. But the same pain that hurts you when you are becoming detached is the pain that kept hurting you when you were attached. The difference is that attachment equals pain and detachment equals freedom and wellbeing.

You may feel you are detached when you speak with your intellect. If you go to your emotions you may feel different. When you detach yourself from whatever or whomever you choose to, you will feel the difference. It is
