Detach to Connect

When life gets tough and rough, it's always a good idea to pause and remind oneself to be a leaf floating along the river, simply go with the flow, allow the water to bring you to wherever it wants. The more one resists the more the same thing will come back, keep repeating the loop. This imagery of oneself melting with nature is similar to when we say in energy healing that we attune ourselves to the elements, ie, fire, water, wind, earth. Say, we attune ourselves to a piece of crystal. We attune ourselves to the cloud. We attune ourselves to the candle fire. When we get into the state of being together with the elements of nature, there is no fear. It's all balance and calm. When we are balance and calm, that's also the state when we stay low, yet the strength inside builds up. In Buddhism, it talks about the detachment principle. As we evolve, we detach further. As we detach further, clarity unveils. We detach to feel the connection.
