A Practice in Compassionate Non-Attachment PT. II

Set and remember your intention. Because compassionate non-attachment is usually an acquired skill, we usually need to remind ourselves of our commitment to do it.

Creating affirmations reminding us it is okay to be non-attached is helpful. We might affirm:

• With love and empathy, I can compassionately non-attach from _____________’s problem with _____________.

• I love and support _____________ without being attached.

• I trust ____________'s ability to move through this crisis constructively.

• God is loving, holding, and guiding ____________ right now and always.
