Stoic Meditation For Cravings And Attachment
About this episode
Marcus Aurelius had a habit of stripping the glamour off things he wanted: the fine wine is just fermented grapes, the expensive meal is dead animal and plants. This guided meditation puts that practice to work on your own cravings and attachments.
You take something you are pulled toward and break it down into its plain parts, with the flattering story removed, until you can see it with a neutral eye. The point is not to hate the thing. It is to loosen its hold, so the wanting stops running quite so much of the show. Includes examples and a few questions to sit with.
