Begin to think of all your strong attachments in life. Think about your attachment to your family, children, spouse, partner, money, material possessions, and anything else that comes to mind. Now, taking each one in turn, fully welcome and embrace that attachment. This is very counterintuitive because our instinct is to push it away, or try to get rid of it, in order to let go of attachment to it. But the exact opposite is true. What you resist persists, and it’s in gentle, nonjudgmental welcoming that true release occurs.
