What it really means is we're only capable of losing things that we hold on to If we were to understand that nothing in this life is ours, nothing is permanent, we'd be less inclined to cling to things You can only lose what you cling to. — buddha Letting go of hang ups is a huge part of buddhist philosophy When you realize the impermanence of everything around you, you begin to let go and enjoy the world for what it is This is a lesson i reminded myself of daily when i end my meditation
Throughout our lives, so many of us naturally attach ourselves to relationships, material. As you practice today, try to unclench and let go Stop clinging to what a pose should look like and breathe into it Let go of the things that define you off the mat, and simply be here now with nothing but your breath And, remember — you can only lose what you cling to. In essence, you only lose what you cling to is a gentle reminder to approach life with open hands and an open heart
Instead, we find a greater sense of self, serenity, and strength Letting go to is an act of courage—a step toward living a life that values the flow of experiences over the futile act of holding on.
