Attachments: The ECHO





Sitting in contemplation I meditate upon the many sounds within me like ripples in water they call out, responding and returning.  In the soft quiet of the morning, I contemplate upon a particular aspect which kept getting my attention, it is an attachment, a habit and now that I can be present in the open space of myself, instead of instantly acting upon it, I sit still, I observe, I listen and realise it is an ECHO.


For some, attachments are like vines

a chokehold on ones spine, to be gradually

cut away, transition into ashes gone by.

But to me, they become echoes

of the past, Phantoms haunting my mind

getting louder each time I shout back

until I realise what they are & where

they come from so I be still and listen

I stop responding back

until no more echoes ripple in my mind

at peace  I now AM .

 


Listening to the echo within, to the subtly teacher guiding my focus onto it, I came to realise reactions and attachments are a choice. Those patterns you keep repeating in your life whether from the past, relationships, wounds that effect your life and perceptions. The unconscious aspects, emotions, reactivity, thoughts, habits and whichever they may be, become a choice once self-realisation, empowerment and knowing is cultivated.




Depending on the work done and the power of the attachment, they can be like either echoes, a yarn of thread, chains, sandbags, a garden of weeds, luggage, vines, etc the form they take can guide us but it is their vibration, how they effect your life and what steps you take to be aware and unravel them that are the key to self understanding and mastery which thereby lead to freedom....

 

They are vibrations we have a choice to tune into or not.

 Whether those vibrations uplift you or  keep you from progressing is what motivates us to making that choice.

Just stop & listen, feel it out.

💚 Do I want this in my life? Does my heart truly desire this? where is it coming from? Why? what is the desire behind it? What emotions/feelings come with it? Does this make me happy? Is this who I really am?

They are echoes and it is our choice to respond or let it go.
