Empower Yourself

Inner freedom is a profound and transformative state of being that transcends the constraints of external circumstances and societal expectations. It is the liberation of the mind and spirit, a sanctuary where one’s true essence can flourish uninhibited. Inner freedom is the ability to make choices rooted in one’s authentic self, unaffected by fear or external pressures.

It is a sense of peace that arises from acceptance, self-awareness, and self-compassion, allowing one to navigate life with resilience and grace. In this inner realm, there is room for creativity, growth, and the pursuit of happiness on one’s own terms. Inner freedom is a precious gift we can cultivate within ourselves, enabling us to lead lives that are authentic, meaningful, and profoundly fulfilling.

In order to achieve this state of inner freedom, first we need to discuss different forms of entanglements.

1. Attachment to Objects and Situations

Excessive attachment to objects and situations can have detrimental effects on our well-being and overall quality of life. When we become overly fixated on possessions or particular circumstances, we risk fostering feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and discontent. This attachment often leads to a cycle of craving and disappointment, as nothing external can truly satisfy our inner needs. It can also hinder personal growth, as we may resist change or cling to familiar but unhealthy situations out of fear.

Moreover, it can strain relationships, as attachment can manifest as possessiveness and dependence, making it difficult to foster healthy connections with others. In the end, the negative impacts of excessive attachment remind us of the importance of cultivating inner contentment and resilience, as true fulfillment comes from within rather than from external sources.

2. Attachment to People

Excessive attachment to people can have significant negative effects on both our emotional well-being and our relationships. When we become overly dependent on others for our happiness and self-worth, we risk losing our own sense of identity and self-esteem. This can lead to feelings of insecurity, jealousy, and possessiveness, which can be toxic to any relationship.

Excessive attachment often puts immense pressure on the people we are attached to, as they may feel smothered or burdened by our emotional needs. It can also lead to a lack of personal growth and independence, as we may become too focused on meeting the needs and expectations of others rather than pursuing our own goals and desires. Ultimately, while connection and attachment are essential aspects of human relationships, it is crucial to strike a balance between healthy attachment and maintaining our individuality and self-esteem.

3. Attachment to Beliefs

Excessive attachment to old beliefs can impede personal and societal progress, stifling growth and inhibiting open-mindedness. When individuals become rigidly bound to long-held beliefs, they may resist new information, alternative perspectives, and the opportunity for personal evolution. This can lead to a stagnation of ideas and a failure to adapt to changing circumstances, hindering problem-solving and innovation.

An attachment to outdated beliefs can foster division and conflict, as individuals may vehemently defend their positions, even when evidence contradicts them. In a rapidly evolving world, a reluctance to reevaluate and adjust one’s beliefs can lead to missed opportunities for growth, understanding, and cooperation, ultimately impeding the advancement of both individuals and societies. It is essential to strike a balance between respecting tradition and remaining open to new ideas and perspectives for genuine progress to occur.

“Life is governed by cycles, by change. Sometimes you are up. Sometimes you are down.”
– Master Choa Kok Sui

Change helps with detachment! Embracing this principle can lead to a sense of detachment by encouraging individuals to let go of attachments to fixed outcomes, situations, or even identities. When we recognize that change is a fundamental aspect of existence, we become more adaptable and resilient in the face of life’s ups and downs.

This detachment does not mean indifference but rather a healthy acceptance of impermanence. It enables us to navigate change with greater ease, reduced suffering, and an open-minded approach to new possibilities. By acknowledging that everything is subject to change, we can release the grip of attachment and find a deeper sense of peace and contentment in the ever-evolving nature of our lives.

“Live an intense extraordinary life. It makes life more interesting.
You must flow like water. Learn to “Let Go” in order to flow with the situation.”
– Master Choa Kok Sui

Knowing about detachment is one thing but learning how to practice it is another. Taught by spiritual teachers such as Master Choa Kok Sui, there are different techniques to help us detach and live an intense life with freedom.

• Purification: Energy techniques such as Pranic Healing and Pranic Psychotherapy can help us purify our system from negative thoughts, beliefs and emotions. They can help us detach from negative programs and self-limiting behavior. The result is open-mindedness, clarity and freedom.
• Meditation: Through meditation we can bring down tremendous amount of divine energy and not only flush out the negative thoughts and emotions in the aura, but also achieve higher degrees of intuition. In this way we are able to see the bigger picture and therefore not to get too attached to what is temporary.
• I AM Affirmation: The I AM Affirmation is a fantastic affirmative taught by Master Choa Kok Sui that helps one to detach from the body, emotions and thoughts and connect with the Higher Soul.
• Using Will Power: A strong will power can help us remain calm and composed in different situations and deal with life challenges in a better way.
• Chanting Matras: Chanting any mantra can help the mind to focus on the mantra rather than the persistent negative thoughts. Mantras such as OM, OM Namah Shivaya OM and OM Mani Padme HUM can further help calm the mind and emotions and bring inner peace and freedom.
