The Universal Law of Detachment

There is one Universal Law that I truly believe is at the core of our spiritual existence.  This is the Law of Detachment.  Detachment does not mean apathy or uncaring.  The detachment that I speak of is loving, nurturing, and freeing all at the same time.  It truly means not worrying about the outcome and not being attached to things we want and instead flowing with the tide of the universe and with the spiritual knowledge that no matter the outcome things will work out not always exactly how we want them too, but instead the way that the Universal Spirit knows is best for us.  This gives us true freedom as we open ourselves to all possibilities.  When you live your life by this Universal Law you begin to experience true peace and miracles really to begin to manifest themselves in your life as if by magic.

In recent days I have experienced this Universal Law first hand.  Having given myself over to the Higher Power through my study and practice of Reiki I have experienced this peace and it is truly miraculous.  My worries have ceased, I have opened myself up to new possibilities, and experienced the freedom these gifts bring.  When you know in your heart and soul that things will always work out for the greater good no matter the outcome joy, peace, and true fulfillment come into your life.

One simple example of this that I have experienced came yesterday during a simple board game with my life partner Tim.  I have always been a very competitive person when it comes to board games and I will be the first to admit that typically  in the past when I have lost a game or two I have become quite angry and upset which only serves to make things worse it seems.  Let's face it, we all want to control our circumstances no matter what the cost, and when we can't we often become angry and disillusioned and in turn miss out on the true joy of life.  Reiki has truly brought the Law of Detachment into the very soul of my being.  Yesterday as my life partner Tim and I were playing our game I did not worry about the outcome win or lose and instead focused on the joy spending time with the person I truly love.  I lost, I won, I lost again, but those losses were meaningless and unimportant.

I felt myself enjoying the games more than I ever had experienced before and appreciating just spending the time enjoying myself with Tim.  What freedom!  The outcome was that after that second loss, when I no longer cared if I won or lost, I won every game.  Without gloating or caring about the outcome I found that we both enjoyed our time together immensely.

I know you may be thinking, "What a silly example!"  Perhaps it is and perhaps it isn't.  Either way, it taught me a valuable lesson and that is that the Law of Detachment is truly a blessing.  My heart and soul have felt so free the last few days through the study of Reiki and the Law of Detachment, and because of these two things that I truly believe go hand in hand, I see magic in the world again all around me guided by the Spirit of Awen.

Every day is a blessing and every soul that I touch through Reiki is a magical moment in time that truly makes life more worth living.  Because of this I am more committed than ever to keeping the Law of Detachment as a part of my daily life for the rest of my life.
