A Fantastic Technique to Use When Someone Says or Does Something that Upsets you
It’s about watching ripples in a pond.
Letting go is the be-all, end-all of spiritual growth. For those of you counting, that’s the 3,478th time I’ve written that. I hope you’ll agree that something so important bears repeating…a lot.
What I mean by letting go is releasing all of the emotional baggage we’ve accumulated and held onto over the course of our lives.
Why is that so consequential? Because if we don’t let it go, that baggage just sits there and runs, and ruins, our lives. Not even thousands of hours of meditation will change that.
You might be wondering why ‘letting go’ doesn’t appear in the title. That this article is supposed to be about dealing with becoming upset.
Answer: By definition, if something is upsetting you, it’s poking your baggage…and that baggage needs to be tossed out of the airplane, AKA let go.
That being the case, I’m always on the lookout for eloquent, impactful descriptions of this letting go process. My favorite might be one I recently heard Michael Singer talk about.
