Currently going through this, when your heart is fighting your head is a pain you cant describe, its a mix both physical and mental anguish. I tear up whenever I think about the good times
Very intense stuff… thanks for being❤. Needed a refreshing, honest video to help me cope and recenter at least for a couple hours. I hope it gets lighter and that sharing lifts up the sorrow. The detachment in taoism and buddhism does not mean not grieving. Grieving is part of that, and remember the steps are not sequential. Not an expert, but from my understanding detachment has to do with the flexibility to flow through our emotions. Depending on the practice. Some Buddhist schools encourage to sit with our thoughts and emotions, others to picture them as arrows or spears heading our way and transform them into flowers and let them wash over you and disappear. Other schools call us to reflect on the practice of monks that create extremely complex and beautiful art that is brushed away as soon as it is finished, reflect on the impermanence of things and the beauty of that impermanence. In Taoism the flow with the Tao is sometimes described as the leaf flowing on a river, or as the water itself: flexible enough to move around rocks and find ways through the ground, at the same time strong, firm and constant to (with time) break through the obstacles in the path. I once heard a taoist monk reflect that there is no such thing as inaction, that the decision to remain still for however long one did was in itself a deliberate action, and that one should reflect upon what drove that decision and the purpose of that silence/stillness. Did you remain still/silent to avoid? To recuperate? To listen to yourself? To heal? Or to hide?c
Thank you for this I'm struggling at work losing my partner of 3 years that's I've spent everyday living together. I can't take it, he just left and went back to grindr and it's killing me.
“Hold on tightly, let go lightly” I FELT THAT. 😂

I am so sorry to hear that, it sucks. But, now you get to build a relationship with yourself, and that's pretty great.
Fucking hilarious hooked within the first 15 seconds
