What would you give away?
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, femme2tao

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.

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...

I'll take Rook's Husky!
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 |

*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.

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.

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.

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.
