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,
