Today's Practice: Illusions

This life, your attachments, your beliefs and desires - are all illusions.

None of this is real. We are in body playing a game, experiencing life, experiencing being human.

When we can pull back from the illusion and recognize this whole experience is a game, we become more neutral to the little things that upset us in everyday life.

When we separate ourselves from the drama of the story we can begin to see what is really going on, and what our role truly is.

If we used the energy we spent upset because things aren't going our way - and harnessed it towards cultivating inner peace our lives would look very different.

Today, recognize when you are stuck in the illusion, in the drama. Then focus your energy not on the issue, or even on a solution, rather on the light that lives within you.
