What would you give away?

[Lady_Wu]

if you could give away anything or things, what would it/they be? The give-away might be physical, like that treasured chair of Aunt Bertha's that you've always secretly hated. or it might be emotional, like the feelings of anger and hurt that tie you to an ex. it might be metaphysical, like the ties of craving that hold you to samsara. it could be all three.
for myself, physically, i'm giving away most of my clothes. my beautiful Winter Sun and Flax skirts and tops that no longer will ever fit. plus anything that ties me to this world, that i'm overly fond of. i'm saying to myself,"pretend that you're moving and give away anything that is not totally essential to your life."
emotionally, i'm giving up feelings of anger, shame, and guilt. i do not need these: they are toxic to me and to others around me. they are a hindrance to my spiritual development.
metaphysically, i am giving away craving and desire. starting today, i will no longer look at catalogs, watch QVC, or do anything that will bring up a feeling of craving, be it physical, emotional, or metaphysical. i have given up craving recognition for anything that i do. and i have even given up craving enlightenment -for myself. when i meditate, i sit. when i do yoga nidra, i do yoga nidra. when i pray for others, i pray-for others.
Namaste,

i've got a lot of ignorance up for grabs....

anyone?

no?

okay, how about sneakers then? i'll throw them in free. i have 4 pair. 3 converse (2 pink and 1 black) and a pair of the very business like, i-can-kick-serious-sporty-ass sort.

[Soft*Silver]

I would give away joy...because I would want to share it...

[AtLast]

I would give away anger that is not productive or blocks my growth and understanding. Some anger motivates me, but not bitter anger that festers and is basd upon false or imagined premises. Best to give it to the universe for transformation.

Ah, we humans!

[Rook]

I do have a small container full of assorted Jelly Bellies :hrmph:

anyone want a siberian husky? :blink:

[Nat]

I might give away Freud, but I'm keeping Jung.

[Rockinonahigh]

Id give up anger and the frustration that comes with it because if my disablity.

[Soft*Silver]

Ok..I would give away my inability to handle a checkbook. Honestly, anything with numbers makes me crazy. I wish I could handle numbers better...

[Gemme]

I'll take Rook's Husky! :dog:

I've got lots of stuff to give away and/or send to the emotional/spiritual landfill in the sky:

Resentment towards my mother, exes and friends (and ex friends)
Lack of innocence
About 10 years of abusive memories
Self-sabotage
The expectation that there's always an angle/shoe will drop/etc
Harsh criticisms toward myself and others

and, finally

the spandex unitard :blink:

*raises hand* Hi my name is Wolfy and I'm a sneaker or in Chicago we call them gym shoes, addict, but I'll never be caught dead or alive in the pink ones. I even have a hard time throwing away my old beat up ones. I always tell myself I can use them for yard work......so, I was asked once, just how many old pairs do you really think you need for that.

[WolfyOne]

I would give away joy...because I would want to share it...


So, what you're saying is that joy isn't a person......and to think I was almost ready to accept something from these posts.

Tease us with jelly beans and give away a dog

Trade you one dog for 3 of my cats because they're so much smaller.

Gemmie this time I have nothing smart to say to you......I must be broken.

I do however have a hug for you because friends don't let other friends let go of that kind of stuff without one.

I'll take Rook's Husky! :dog:



Congrats Gemme. Who could not love a Husky? Well unless said Husky is ................ never mind. Again, enjoy and congratulations to you and the beauty dog.

[WolfyOne]

Now as for me, I'm a packrat and stuff my own feelings away, so I'll have to give it some thought and come back here when I have a proper answer.

I'd like to give Fred Phelps away, but I don't think anybody would take him. :(

[Soft*Silver]

I would take him. I would shackle him right next to my little vixen, Sarah Pallin, and make them do naughty things to each other for my demented pleasure... hawttttt :fan:

I'd like to give Fred Phelps away, but I don't think anybody would take him. :(

[Soft*Silver]

my snarky bad ass brother in law ..I would PAY you to take him..please...

[Enchantress]

regret....

[hippieflowergirl]

today i would give everything away...absolutely everything...to relive one particular day from my past.

[DapperButch]

Washer snob. :tease:

[Enchantress]

mistrust...

[Julien]

I'd give away my sense of no direction my life is taking at the moment. I need some insight.

Oh I have a heavy winter coat I bought when the wind chills hit 40 below zero. I don't really need it now in the land of sunshine and beaches.:bolt:

[Lynn]

I first thought I'd give away fear and regret. But, I think it would be better to keep the full range of human emotions and learn how to deal with them.

I'd give away all the clothes that don't fit so someone else can benefit from them. I'd give away all the knickknacks and stuff that I don't need or love.

I think I can spare a few cats, too.

[WolfyOne]

I had to seriously think about what I'd give away before I posted just off the top of my head.

I would give away pain and suffering to the heavens above us. Let the sky open up and take it all in.
I could live with haters in this world if a child or adult never had to know what it was like to feel pain or suffer.

[Orema]

Today I would give away ...

– A care package in a zip lock bag that I keep in the car for homeless and street people. It includes antibacterial wipes, a pair of socks, list of resources, pre-packaged tuna and crackers, one dollar. Sweet Carissa created these packages for people to give out and I added the dollar. Hope I can give out a couple of these today.

– I’d give away some tools, old gadgets, and table cloths I have stored in my garage.

– Some clothes and books.

[JDeere]

I would give away my Dads saws he never uses, one is still in a box.

I would also give away my resentment but no one want that's!

[cathexis]

Time giving nursing care (RN) to the people of Puerto Rico and Cuba (they got slammed too, but have a better health care system than the US).

Today, I will speak with my Partner and MD to see if this if this is realistic health wise. Doubt my doctor would clear me ... we'll see if I get laughed at.

[girl_dee]

i’d give a limo bus to the head injury unit where i used to work, so the residents could go out in a more comfortable and snazzy way....

[Orema]

Today I’d give away the doom and gloom I sometimes feel after reading the news.

[RockOn]

I totally agree! Doom and gloom excellent descriptor!!!
