Twin Flames - Non-Attachment vs Detachment

Episode 67 - In this episode, Michele talks about non-attachment vs detachment on the Twin Flame journey—how this can be helpful and why it’s important to know the difference. "The feelings we have for our Twin Flames are an energy unlike anything we've ever experienced. I know for me this was the case. Sometimes it feels like if we could just detach from these feelings we would find relief. So often we use the words detachment and non-attachment interchangeably. But when we are dealing with romantic relationships and especially our Twin Flames— It’s important to dive deeper and notice the subtle differences. To detach means to separate. Other synonyms of detachment are aloofness, indifference, impartiality, and being neutral. The definition of non-attachment at first glance seems pretty straightforward. Non-attachment is not being attached to something or someone. But non-attachment is more than just an action. It’s actually a spiritual practice and it’s a state of being. it’s the practice of not attaching to an outcome in the future or from someone else’s behavior. In order to do this—non-attachment requires us to be in the present moment and trust that we can handle whatever outcome comes our way and that this outcome may be better than any we ever could’ve attached to. Non-attachment is when we trust in Divine source to bring us the outcome that is for our highest good.  Non-attachment is the opposite of control. Non-attachment is a life long practice. It is a philosophy that has been practiced in many eastern religions. Now let’s look at Twin Flames. They're our Divine counterpart—the other half of our soul before we split in two. We couldn’t be more connected spiritually to anyone else—other than God/Divine source energy.  Yet when we go on this Twin Flame journey—we are often faced with challenges and obstacles with our Twin Flame—it can be confusing because at a soul level we feel this connection and therefore our minds and egos believe we should be with them. Yes, perhaps we should. But what do we do in the meantime if they’re not fully available to be with us—physically, emotionally or mentally? Our egos natural inclination is to hold on—to attach to them and also attach to a certain outcome. That’s when the suffering starts. That’s when we feel separate from them. Then let’s say we want to stop the obsessive thoughts and the constant longing for them and the pull to them. We could try to detach from our feelings for them—but as we learned from the definition—detachment brings with it a certain aloofness and indifference that can be confusing. It can lead us to feel like we’re closing off the flow of eternal love that we already have with them. It’s hard to detach from the feelings for our twin flame. Because detachment has a feeling of not caring about it. We will never not care about our twin flame. Even if we detach from the outcome with them—the word detach still carries with it the energy of separation. What we we can do instead is practice non-attachment to the outcome from them. Sometimes just switching this shift of focus brings relief. If we can practice non-attachment from the outcome and from any expectations from them—then we can still love them and feel what unconditional love feels like. Join me on this episode as I dive deeper into non-attachment and the relief it brings. You don't need to suffer on this journey!!  Thanks for listening!"
