Attachments

 

What is an attachment?  An attachment is a strong connection to a person, place, or thing.  From my standpoint, this usually looks like a cord or stream of energy between the person and what they are attached to.  Here are some examples.

When someone relocates, it is common to stay attached to the previous location.  The result is that one’s energy is split between the 2 places, which does not serve either place.  One must very consciously pull up their roots from the previous location and repeatedly anchor their grounding cord into the new place until it feels solid.  Also, being in the now at all times tends to erase the memory of the previous place to make grounding into the new location much easier. 

One can be attached to things.  Not uncommon!  We all have favorite items that we use every day, or a favorite car, or beautiful things that we have collected.  There is nothing wrong with having material things, but it is our attachment to those things that can cause problems.  A lot of stuff can really weigh you down and lower your vibration.   One of my guilty pleasures is the show “Hoarders”.  For some reason, I am fascinated with the psychological issues that these people have that causes them to obsessively cling on to their possessions, including garbage! 

The most important category of attachments is from one person to another.  An attachment occurs when there is an expectation of the other person’s behavior.  Expectation creates attachment, and where attention goes, energy flows.  In these cases, the energy is flowing back and forth between the two.  The problem is that this is not an equal flow.  Someone always gets most of the heavy energy, and the other person ends up with most of the positive energy. This is mainly an unconscious pattern, although there are cases where someone attaches and is deliberately sucking another’s energy. 

So the point of this post is to encourage you to look at the attachments that are created by your expectations, and heal that need within yourself to attach.  Remember that any attachment to people, places or things will weigh you down and deplete your energy.  In these times of energetic acceleration and change, none of us can afford for that to happen.
