Ageless
With Detachment
A 5-Step Practical & Adventurous Application

One Friday,
I discovered I had a flat tire. As I was zooming off to my busy day, I
started driving only to hear Tha-THUMP, Tha-THUMP ... huh?
I'd been
reading the 7 Spiritual Laws of Success by Dr. Deepak Chopra, and Friday's
law is Detachment. The echo of "I will factor uncertainty as an essential
ingredient" was still ringing in my ears. But I was busy! I had a schedule!
Things to do! Places to be! Aarrgghh!
After
my initial "oh crap" reaction (and yes, I confess I used a different word
than crap), I started observing. Given I believe that everything happens
for a reason for my greatest good, then what opportunity was awaiting
me? I was being sent down a different road. Now what?
Step
1
I went into detachment by breathing, and then choosing conscious surrender.
Not "surrender" in the context of giving up - nuh uh. Surrender in the
context of letting go, and coming back to my faith that everything happens
for a reason for my greatest good. I sat in my car at the side of the
road, and said, "OK, apparently there's a new plan that's better than
the old plan. I have no idea what it is, but I'm open to finding out what
it might be."
Step
2
I closed my eyes, took a breath, and asked my intuition, "What's next?"
A very clear answer came: "Call your friend Allan and ask him to put on
your spare tire". I called him, he was available and there in 5 minutes
to put on the spare. Plus, another fella walking by stopped to help. I
had two beautiful men on their knees at my feet working on my tire. Goddess
moment! :)
Step

Was getting in the groove now, so next intuition said, "Canadian Tire".
Off I went, and they told me it would be an hour. I was feeling pretty
perky as I had completely let go of my original agenda ... and chose to
be curious about this new adventure. I wandered over to the Bread Garden,
where I ran into an old friend and had a marvelous reconnection with her.
What a gift! And when I picked up my car, the amazing gentleman at Canadian
Tire ("Stan the Man") had found a way to lower my costs so the brand new
tire was only $35. Wow!
Step

Now I was experiencing gratitude and celebration. I praised Stan mightily
for his excellent service, and carried on with my day at a much higher
level of energy and joy. The remainder of my day unfolded with easy productivity,
everything was clicking. Seeing as I wasn't fighting the universe, the
universe was responding by working with me to support effortless ease
and flow.
Step
5
An opportunity for reflection. If I had chosen to remain upset and frustrated
about the flat tire, my energy would never have been receptive to all
the gifts the day brought me ... as a matter of fact, the entire day would
likely have deteriorated and been completely shot.
It's
a funny thing about energy ...
We tend to get more of whatever we're putting our attention on. Because
I chose to open myself to what was actually happening and be curious (instead
of fighting it and trying to control everything), I was able to experience
magic and joy.
I had
one of my most powerful and productive days, plus I was able to bring
light and happiness to all those I came into contact with. It became a
SuperDay! Yay!
There's a paragraph
in the Law of Detachment that really hits me. I quote:
"Uncertainty
means stepping into the unknown in every moment of our existence. Without
uncertainty, life is just the stale repetition of outworn memories.
You become the victim of the past, and your tormentor today is your
self left over from yesterday."
Choosing
Detachment doesn't mean I give up my intentions and desires ... I simply
choose to give up my attachment to the "how and when" of results, and
be open to where intuition guides me. This is a very powerful thing to
do.
There's
a much higher level of intelligence operating in the universe than what
my brain could possibly imagine. There is space for magic when I choose
this level of unquestioning belief in the power of my true self, and just
get out of my head and out of my own way.
What
does this have to do with Anti-Aging?
When I'm in Detachment, I give up pressure and experience pleasure instead.
I'm relaxed vs stressed. I'm peaceful vs upset. I'm breathing, my blood
is circulating, everything's flowing, I'm loose, I'm open, I'm HAPPY.
All these things support extraordinary health, vitality and youthfulness.
And I become ageless.
To your healthy happy
luscious living,
