Releasing attachment to outcomes

It’s only natural for us, as humans, to sometimes get attached to specific outcomes… to wanting life to go a certain way.

In our spiritual practice and work, we may get attached to having a particular result… such as healing a particular issue or challenge.

We may get attached to our meditations going a certain way, or producing a specific feeling in us.

When we work with the AR, we may get attached to receiving particular answers or information to some of our questions.

We may get attached to hearing a specific message, which may lead us to discount the most relevant and helpful wisdom that may be trying to come through.

We can also get attached to wanting every single reading to be powerful, effortless, and mind-blowing. We may get discouraged or frustrated if this doesn’t seem to happen.

Then there are the attachments we often experience as practitioners or healers.

For instance, we may get attached to our clients having certain outcomes, insights, and breakthroughs when they work with us.

So, we may put unnecessary pressure on ourselves to make this happen for our clients, forgetting that the level of deep healing and insight we want them to experience cannot be forced, rushed, or manufactured by us.

As healers, we may also get attached to our clients liking us, approving of us, or validating us. (This can be an unconscious pattern of trying to get our own needs met through our client work, which is a really human thing to do… BUT it can get in the way of serving our people at our highest, clearest, most conscious level.)

When we have all of these attachments to outcome, or attachments to getting a particular result in life or in our spiritual work, we tend to suffer.

We tend to be in stress, worry, and anxiety about how things are going to turn out.

We may also miss out on the beautiful, meaningful, purposeful experiences and outcomes that are already here – especially if we reject anything that doesn’t fit our mental picture of how we want things to go.

The antidote to all of this is surrendering control (or surrendering the *illusion* of control).

Surrendering our tendency to want to be in charge of how life turns out, and of where our spiritual practices take us.

This is something we repeatedly practice in Akashic Records work – turning on our deepest capacity to surrender, to not be in charge, to allow the Record Keepers to take us where we most need to go. (Because they are wiser than us, and they DO know best.)

When we open to the flow of life… to the flow of what the Universe wants to bring us… to the flow of the experiences we’re meant to have here as humans…

… that’s when magical things happen. Alchemy happens. Transformation happens. Healing and expansion happen.

By surrendering to the plans and divine designs of our Higher Self, we begin flowing in alignment with our highest purpose. We understand more clearly the meaning behind our human experiences.

We let go of what isn’t ours, what doesn’t serve us, what doesn’t reflect the truth and coherence of Who We Really Are.
