Universal Irony Division: To be unattached isn’t necessarily to detach. Rather it’s to love unconditionally, observing all of your emotions that come up and letting them flow naturally. The brain actually shows all of your emotions to you so you can choose what you want to do with them. Yes, you get to choose what emotions you experience and what to do with them!
Ain’t it great being human?
You can hold onto emotions like many other people do (but that would be attachment then wouldn’t it?). You can suppress them too. And they’ll come back up another time when your subconscious knows you’re ready. That’s why life’s lessons repeat themselves in different ways until you get it. You can observe your emotions too. Witness everything that comes up. Love it. Sit with it. Give it a voice and listen to it. To be unattached is simply looking at it from a different perspective. You can float above as you witness, releasing the “charge” associated with the feeling. And that’s how you get the underlying lesson. Your brain is sending you messages embedded within your emotions. And you can decode them. You have the power to do so. Witnessing allows this to happen naturally, so overthinking isn’t required (but it might be fun to analyze). You just get the lessons, and then see the beauty in every situation. Yes, every situation.
