I guess I've been doing this for a while without knowing what to call it. As I've practiced this, I've discovered that some attachments are usually scenarios or experiences that I want to happen in order to protect me from some lurking danger or perceived peril. In those cases the only way I can sometimes let go is to do a really radical what-if: What if the absolute worst thing happened that I can imagine because the thing I'm attached to doesn't protect me. Usually the answer is that I will die. Or be in a lot of excruciating pain. Or be acutely embarrassed, which is worse than death. The key is to be willing to feel. Once held to the light of consciousness these ego-traps usually wither immediately. And then the attachment collapses. My body relaxes. And peace returns. Aaah! Great stuff Emma! Thank you! Emma —

People can change their language, but they won't get to the Sacred Place without setting down those attachments and walking away. Thanks for sharing your learning as you go, Emma!
