Life is a Gift. Life is always flowing. All our desires naturally surface to the top because its all a part of the moving and flowing of life. The desire for any given thing at any given moment is very temporary. Its an emotion, a feeling that will pass. Suffering comes from wanting to acquire the things in life we don't really need and, as a result, getting stuck in that moment.
In a world and time where most material commodities are tempting to purchase and own immediately, discretion is a virtue I value more than ever now, and it has become my close friend. I have found a very simple way of releasing my desires. I believe most of the stuff we desire, we do not really need. Most things I have wanted are just because ....... They are like the many products I desire and want to buy immediately from the online store. Suddenly there is such an urgency to acquire the desire of the moment. However, instead of buying them immediately, I place them in "My Wishlist" folder. After a week my desire has naturally passed without any struggle and that intensity to acquire that 'something' just flows away without a struggle and without me even noticing that it has passed.
I am applying this simple, but highly effective tool for me, in my cleansing and releasing routine. It takes away the struggle and justifications one has when the desire to own something overrules the need to have it. Life is more fun to just observe this person called "Lavina" in this lifetime. It is definitely more peaceful and joyous.
"You truly can reach a state in which you never have any more stress, tension , or problems for the rest of your life. You just have to realize that life is giving you a gift, and that gift is the flow of events that take place between your birth and your death. These events are exciting, challenging and create tremendous growth." ~ The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer ~
Namaste!
