 Hello Earth citizens! In this video, I will show you a 10-minute meditation for letting go of attachments. This meditation is taken from the book Connect by Ilchili. I'll drop a link in the description below on how you can follow along, grab a copy and read more about pineal gland meditation, Awakening the Third Eye. Let's get started. First, sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight. Rest your hands comfortably on your knees. Close your eyes and first feel your body. Feel the top of your head and now bring your awareness down to your forehead. Feel your cheeks, jaw, your neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, lower belly, hip joints, thighs and now feel the bottom of your feet and your toes. Feel your entire body sitting in that posture and take a deep breath in and out. Deep breath in. Bend your upper body forward, exhale and return to center. Open your eyes. Now bring your right palm up and in front of you. If you're left-handed, you can use your left palm. Bring your right palm facing up and imagine your palm is like a cup. And now with your mind, imagine into this cup, you are putting all the things there that you're attached to. Some people are attached to money. Some people are attached to status. Some people are attached to their car, their houses, spouses, friends, recognition, security, control, anything that you are aware of. Imagine that word and place it in your cup. So for example, if you're attached to wealth, if you have a strong desire to become wealthy and successful and rich and it's actually blocking you from creating the life you want, basically anything that you're so severely attached to that it's creating more obstacles in your life rather than letting your life flow. So whatever that is, let's say for example, wealth. Imagine the word wealth and put it in your cup. What things are you attached to? Maybe your mom, helping people, even that could be an attachment, where your desire to help people is so strong that you forget to help yourself. Maybe fame. A lot of people want to become social media famous or you want your friends to recognize you and tell you did a good job. Are you attached to your high social status? Whatever it is, put it in this cup. If it helps you focus, please close your eyes and ask yourself, what am I attached to? What is my mind fixated on that is actually creating obstacles in my life rather than letting my life flow? The best way to understand attachments is mental fixations. Or is your mind mentally fixated on your friends judging you? What other people think about you? Those are attachments too. So place that in this cup. I will give you one minute. Close your eyes and whatever you can recognize you are attached to, bring it into your palm. Do you have many things that come to your mind? Do you have a whole mound of things you're attached to? Or maybe just a few one or two things? The amount is not what's important. What's important is that you can recognize what you are mentally fixated on. So now when I count to three, I want you to flip your palm over and imagine it coming out and releasing it from your body. So keep focusing on the attachments you have in your hand right now. Can you imagine all the things that you are attached to sitting on your palm? So now when I count to three, imagine releasing all of that out of your body as you flip your palm over. Ready? One, two, three. Flip your palm and let all the energy of those attachments out of your hand. Release, release, release. Now imagine into the top of your head a golden waterfall comes down, down your arm and let all those heavy mental fixations, attachments release out of your body, attachments to love, attachments to security, fame, money, success, status, wealth, recognition, judgment, whatever you have, let it out of your body from your palm and imagine it bursting like bubbles into the world. And because they're bursting, it's dissipating. So don't worry about inflicting harm on others. They just disappear, disappear out of your body. And now as you release those attachments, imagine your body becoming as light as a bird. As light as a bird, stretch your arms wide, open your chest, open your chest and take a deep breath into your body and exhale. One more time, stretch your arms wide to the side, take a deep breath in and bend your upper body forward, exhale, turn to center. How did you do? Did you feel a lot of attachments that you're holding on to? Remember, it's not important how much you have or how little you have, but the fact that you can recognize and be aware of what you are holding on to because when you know what you have, that's when you can release it. You did a great job. To experience a full one hour brain education based class, please visit a local body and brain yoga studio near you.
