Ego Bonding equals PAIN.

Do you want to know the ROOT of ALL PAIN???

The short answer: ATTACHMENT

There are varying PAIN levels that are equal to our ATTACHMENT levels when it comes to people, places, and things in our lives.

We can either feel a mild sting, or if we're not careful, the weight of ATTACHMENT can send us into a spiral of depression.

The pain of not booking that gig, worried about paying the bills, a relationship ending, watching someone we love fall ill are all related to some form of affixation in our minds. 

So what is it that we are so tied up in that it causes us to feel mental and emotional trauma?

Our egos are to blame. Our egos tell us false stories of how things SHOULD be. And when the result isn't the way our ego desires, ie. ATTACHMENT, we have a hard time accepting what IS.

The reality we're seeing in front of us isn't what we really want, and our ego can't let go of what IS, and THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE PAIN POINT.

Do you want to know HOW to cut the cords of "ego bonding?"

1. ACCEPTANCE of what IS is KEY. Without this step, the PAIN you feel will never go away. Yes, you might be able to push it down, but again it will NEVER go away.
2. Give yourself GRACE that you're human, and you're allowed to let your ego rule your mind for a bit and feel all the feelz, especially in the form of grieving. Be gentle and soft with yourself for as long as you need to. AND at the same time, recognize you don't HAVE to live in the grieving state forever, and you can begin to choose JOY and RELIEF.
3. Get to a mental place of KNOWING all is well. No matter how much we dislike the outcome. KNOWING there are NO ACCIDENTS because God/ Life/ Universe/ Source Energy/ Infinite Intelligence/ Higher Self is RIGHT ON TIME. Getting to this level of KNOWING is equal to your ability to having FAITH.

To really understand this, even in grieving, our egos tell us the world SHOULD be different from it really IS. Or that terrible event SHOULDN'T have happened like that. And this means our ego is ATTACHED to an idea that doesn't EXIST.

I share all of this on the 1st REBIRTH Anniversary of my beloved Queen, Dazy Girl. 

Dazy is the sweetest, gentlest, poised, and most beautiful fur baby. She had a way of teaching me HOW to be present in the moment and was truly an expression of Grace in dog form.

I absolutely LOVE my Dazy Girl, yet I can sit here and feel no pain about her transition. And that's due to giving myself time to grieve, accept what is, and NOT wishing for things to be different.

So today's post is a tribute to my LOVE, realizing she gave us a gift I never knew existed till this very moment.

She just taught us the gift of LOVE without ATTACHMENT. 

That alone is proof she's still here and why I feel no pain.

Thank you, Dazy Girl. I love you.

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
