"_The greatest enemy of [love](./love) is [attachment](./attachment). Why? Because it tries to disguise itself as love. There is a similarity between closeness and clinging that easily confuses the mind._" "_a [fear](./fear) of loss or craving to control creates the type of clinging that tries to grasp another person with tension_" "_[Attachment](./attachment) is essentially a refusal to come to terms with change, it’s an attempt to keep things the same or under your power._" "_[Love](./love) is meant to be grounded in freedom. [Attachment](./attachment) is an opposing force to freedom; it tries to keep things the same, while freedom understands that change is ultimately good._" "_[Attachment](./attachment) will create images in your mind of what you crave the most and it will direct your energy into creating and maintaining them in the external world._" "_We can end up “falling in [love](./love)” with the idea we have of someone and whenever the reality of that person deviates from the image we have of them in our mind, we fear the dissonance and fight against it._" "_[Attachment](./attachment) will ask our loved ones to stay the same, but this is impossible when the river of existence constantly flows forward._" 17:T4c1,This meditation from the book Ritual by Lorri Davis and Damien Echols helps cut energetic cords of attachment. It supports us in acting according to what feels right in the present moment and in letting go of unhealthy attachments, desires, and expectations. We recommend practicing this regularly as a form of energetic cleansing, for example as part of a morning routine. - Find a comfortable position and relax with a few deep breaths or a short meditation. - When you feel calm, call upon Archangel Michael, represented by a shining, powerful red light carrying a sword. - Say: "Please cut all my energetic cords that I have formed to other people, places, situations
