COURSE
Releasing Attachment And Coming Home To Self
With Katie O’Connor
If you are noticing that you are trying to control other people, situations, or gripping onto external circumstances, this five-day journey will help you shift your energy from fear back to love so that you can more deeply trust the flow of life. When I think of attachment, I think of an energetic leak where our energy is going towards something outside of us rather than being circulated internally. The gripping we experience is simply a loving nudge to look inward and pay attention to parts of ourselves that are asking for a bit of love. This course will walk you through a series of guided meditations that will address some of the areas that need love and bring you back home. It is designed to be done with a focus on a single thing you're feeling attached to, but it can be applied to multiple areas of your life.

Amazing! It led me to identify my fears behind my attachment to cigarettes and I was able to let go freely with love.

This course is very, very good. I highly recommend when something from outside grabs our attention so much that we forget to look inside.

Thank you for this beautiful and deeply healing and alchemizing journey. After spending most time of my life in the cold of lonely darkness, I finally got to see and feel the warmth and light of a loving fire burning within myself. Reconnecting. Coming home to myself, in my body, my being, my soul. Wauw. What an amazing and profound gift. Thank you..

Many thanks for this thoughtful and suburb series. My goodness, I needed this with all of my might. Thank you for creating a safe space for visualization, perspective, reflection and healing. I so appreciated identifying the attachment, seeing it in front of me and releasing love and gratitude for it. Thank you for opening yourself to this vision and for sharing it in an accessible and meaningful practice. Have a beautiful day!

The only thing I wish is that each session was longer because I never wanted them to end! But also, it was just the right amount of time, and I’ve already repeated sections to make sure it sinks in and I fully grasp and understand the concepts. Intuitively, I already knew what I learned. But doing this process with you enabled me to move at least some of that knowing from my head to my heart, and for that I am very grateful. And accepting that it is all inside of me is truly what I needed and will always need to remember. Thank you 💜

This hands down included the best meditations I’ve ever done, and I loved how they flowed through each other via one course! The realization that attachment is connected to fear (not love) and how you can feel that in your body, coupled with the visualizations in the meditations made it feel so real. These visualizations also gave me the tools to make progress in letting go and feel like my journey was actionable towards the things I really desire in life. I absolutely imagine I’ll be coming back to this course when I feel gripping around something again. I am so appreciative of the thoughtfulness behind this!
