Cultivating Spacious Detachment
A simple guided audio meditation to help you move through loss, meet the ache, and find your way back home to you
“One could say that going through loss is the great awakener. It is a potential opening if you don’t run away from it. What is usually condemned as “bad” by the mind and the mind-made self is actually grace coming into your life.”
—Eckhart Tolle
They don’t call it heartbreak for nothing. It doesn’t matter if it’s the loss of a loved one, a home, a job, a pet, a dream; if it’s expected or it comes on suddenly…
it seems we are never, ever prepared for it.
When we go through loss, it feels like the heart is breaking into a million little pieces. The “potential opening” or “grace” that Eckhart Tolle talks about seems impossible to fathom.
For those of you grieving a painful loss, or rejection, or sadness, hoping for a different outcome, may you find comfort in knowing that we live in a fluid universe. Or, as Thich Nhat Hanh so wisely reminds us, “Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.”
May it remind you that there is nothing that light and love and time cannot handle. And heal.
…
How do you find your peace and equanimity when life throws you a curve ball? How do you detach with grace when all you feel is hurt, punched-out, disillusioned, sad, angry . . . lost?
In this week’s practice I will guide you through a simple detachment process. No matter how big or small the pain, the Audio meditation below can help you move through it.
It can help you find your center, restore your peace, and give you back your power.
Ahhh 🙌🏼

Spacious Detachment Process — Audio
This week’s audio meditation is a practice designed to connect with a loss, a hurt, or a wound from your past so that you can embrace it, detach from it, and heal it.
Note: This simple clearing process is not intended to dredge up a painful memory from your past to make you feel bad. It is a practice designed to help you grow your spacious muscle; to give you the bandwidth and resilience you need to step back, witness, and detach more easily from anything that holds you back.
