Transforming Attachment

Venerable Thubten Chodron leads a guided meditation on letting go of attachment, a state of mind that exaggerates the good qualities of an object and clings to them. Learn more from her book, "Guided Buddhist Meditations" published by Shambhala Publications.

What an interesting turn of events in this meditation. Very useful when you change the perspective. Instead of yearning, remember what you had.

This was helpful for some attachment anxiety I was having. Thank you 🙏

Gave me a really different perspective on attachment. Feeling so light after this.

This brought me right to my majotär attachements and helpdesk to open up a way to let go and to free from the attachement. Thanks! I will come back.

True guidance on the process of letting go. Lots of space to practice. Thank you.

Such helpful remedies for letting go of attachment. I use this meditation often and feel so peaceful after. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Super helpful. I hope to return to this again and again.

Very good suggestions. Putting my friend in God’s hand (or the Buddha) is one I always forget about and is always a good suggestion. Thank you ✨🙏✨

Very pleasant voice to listen to and very insightful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Great insights with a lot of reflection in between.

Very helpful. I appreciated the moments of silence after the prompts.

Great meditation! It helped me a lot to feel more calmed and really start to transform attachment. Will listen to it again.

I have been struggling with my anxious attachment and this helped me sooo much!! thank you for a wonderful new perspective

I don't even remember doing this a year ago, but it's still 5 stars. I have been struggling with seeking instant gratification in all aspects of my life lately, but a lack of physical intimacy with my partner has been one of my biggest problems. I was able to face the feeling, accept it, and detach. I hope I can carry this practice into my day and into my life. Attachment has been the root of my problems for some time.

This is an excellent guided exercise for re-thinking attachment / clinging, especially towards a person. It really made me stop and think, and calm down. Thank you

Such an amazing teacher. Thanks!

No longer clinging
I offer you to Buddha
We both go in peace

I ❤️ this. So wise, so helpful. 🙏

Thank you so much for such a soft yet poignant guidance for letting go of attachment. I started sobbing when you said " we are not grieving the past but the future " we are losing or have to give up when it comes to a romantic relationship. This is so on point and I still wonder why it's so painful to accept that a deep and lasting relationship with a great marriage and growth will not take place with this man I have been seeing and sharing with for good while ? It is truly hurtful to love stop seeing someone because he does not look at a relationship the same way It becomes toxic to wish for more time together and a future with a man who is emotionally unavailable, who says he loves me but is not able to give time nor space and be proactive in the relationship. I know I have to decide to gracefully end this and come to closure to fully grieve and free-up space for someone who will be willing to show-up on a regular basis and have an open heart. I did not expect this detachment process to be so long ...but thank you so much for your soothing words and voice and for allowing me to try to look at things differently.
