I recently ran into a friend of mine and our conversation seemed to focus on the fear of attachment. I can completely identify with this fear since I had a fear of getting to close to Emily when she was a newborn and so sick. For some reason I was so afraid of loving her because we weren't even sure that she was going to live long. All of the possible diagnosis that we were told for her only had her living until the age of two. I was so afraid that if I loved her I would lose her and I did not think I could survive that kind of pain.
They are many other ways people can fear attachment. I have seen it happen in families where their are children from a previous marriage brought together by two people. It is feared by the grandparent of step-grandchild that the marriage might not last and they will no longer be able to see that step-grandchild.
Fear happens when a couple is trying so hard to have a baby and with each pregnancy it ends in sadness of a lost child. Fear also happens when a couple is trying so hard to adopt and as they get word that their new baby has been born it is crushed by the news of the mother decided to keep him/her. Fear also happens when a child is diagnosed with a disease and you know that their time on earth is limited, but you don't know for how long.
So why is it that we are so consumed with fear in this world? How can we change things? Well, I don't have the answer to that question, but I have some help. We must change the way we think about life. We need to appreciate every waking moment we have with each other and with the ones we love. We must remember to cherish every day with each other and turn the rest over to the universe. Once we begin to let go, we open ourselves up to receive. Don't let you life be consumed with fear, let it go and see what happens.

Fear is the polar opposite of love. So to love all that is in existence removes fear from our lives. We fear that which we don’t understand.
ReplyDeleteThen we should ask ourselves, “Why do we need to understand?” Everything that is within our vision is there as an illusion.
Our mind creates it and draws that to us. If we simply accept what is there and honor it for what it is, a creation of energy, there is no need to wonder why. It teaches us a lesson.
We honor it, send it love and move along our path as it moves along its path. This applies to human and non-human energies.
In order to do all of this, we first love and honor ourselves as a being sharing the energy of a soul that we carry within.
Blessings on your path, and thank you for honoring us with your wisdom.
