Think of it as "taking an internal shower", an inner cleansing.

The power of letting go

Non-Attachment. A term the world is becoming more and more familiar with if. Have you ever found yourself saying “I want peace”, “I want to feel more connected” or “I want to be able to live in present moment”? Letting go of things, situations that no longer serve you, projections, desire to control the future, and expectations are the best practices to live a mindful and healthy lifestyle; the recipe to a fulfilled and stress-free life. Let go and start living! Let go of stuff . Are you the type of person who acquires so many things because you believe that this new ... fill in the blanks... or that .... fill in the blanks ... will make you happy? By continuing to search outside of yourself for comfort without a strong inner practice, you will always be hungry: your heart and bellies will never feel full. What if you could come from a place of enough—how much stuff do you actually ...
