Love Without Attachment: 4 Secrets To Love Unconditionally

Keeping love from turning into attachment isn’t easy, here are 4 secrets to love unconditionally

Love has no limit, no shape, and no condition. If we could understand this, we wouldn’t have the need to buy chocolate ice-cream and watch sad love movies while we sit wallowing in self-pity.

The fatal relationship killer goes by the name, attachment. This nasty little thing disguises its self as love at first and later becomes jealous and needy.

You see, the attachment is also known as co-dependency, it makes us believe we cannot live without the person we love. And this puts both them and us in a dangerous cage. When being so deeply “in love” we forget about the importance of ourselves and our needs because the sensation of pleasing our loved ones feels so good.

When we love unconditionally, the pains of attachment can’t affect us.

Loving unconditionally is the acceptance of all that is. When we can’t accept someone for everything they are we start to try and change them and we convince ourselves that we know best. This is often the start of toxic relationships.

How to love unconditionally?

Keeping pure love from turning into attachment isn’t easy, but here are 3 of the best-kept secrets to realizing before it’s too late, with one extra – to conclude it all.

1.   Ask yourself what you felt the first few days after meeting your loved one.

If you can’t remember those feelings and only memories and experiences, or that person comes up. It should be seen as a red flag.

When we first experience being “in love” with that person, we have a huge sense of freedom and happiness. Our senses become heightened and our awareness of the world is met with appreciation, everything is “just right”.

It’s important to remember what and how you felt without that person being right there, with you, in the physical. It’s important to try to remember how being in love enhanced your appreciation for life, with the mere thought of that special person in mind.

2.  Love is everlasting, unmeasurable.

When we love unconditionally, it should know no boundary.

We should be able to love someone so wholeheartedly that just the thought of them should satisfy us.

When we become attached to someone we crave they are being near to us all the time. We crave them and forget about the gift of solitude. Simply knowing where they are is not enough. And this is dangerous.

Once we learn and accept that love has no end and can be felt between worlds, and over oceans, we will then grasp the importance of allowing such freedom and space. Not only for our loved one but for ourselves.

3.  Unconditional love is the definition of the acceptance of imperfection

To love unconditionally means to understand that nothing is perfect, yet that imperfection is perfection. Attachment is supercritical, judgmental, controlling and serious. If you ever find yourself making decisions for your loved one and or find yourself lecturing them on changing or not meeting the expectations you are or are on the road to suffering.

Unconditional love for another never allows us to go down the road to the attachment. It loves all that is, even that weird little toe or skew tooth.
