Episode 26: Exploring Awareness of Attachment - a podcast by Frank Anderson MD MPH and Lisa Barry

Ever think about what brings you a sense of security or what you may be holding on to in life that may not best serve you?  Who are, or what are you attached to, and what would happen if you didn’t need to attach to anyone or anything including your own ego? Some people have a yearning for something more -it may be a loud voice or a just a whisper, and for some perhaps there is no yearning- but if that yearning is there, we’d invite you to join us on our exploring awareness journey.  In this episode, we discuss attachment to thoughts, habits, ways of being that may contribute to the sense of attachment, and how exploring awareness of these patterns may be a new and more authentically feeling way to be in the world. It’s hard though, because becoming aware of all of the things that seem to be self-defining will start dropping away which may, as Adyashanti says, “be distressing to your ego”.  Being aware of attachments is the first step, watching them drop off could be the second step, then resting as awareness may open up a new sense of freedom where attachments aren’t the driving force- instead you may just realize that peace, joy love and generosity- the inherent qualities that are already there- become the motivators. Listen to “Within You and Without You” by the Beatles and note the line “With our love, with our love we can save the world, if they only knew” .
