Detachment and the Metamorphic Technique
In the practise of the Metamorphic Technique we offer our clients an environment free of direction. We notice the facts, we acknowledge their presence, and we let them be. In other words we practise detachment.
In letting be, we are present to what is arising, without any resistance to it. This allows the beauty at the core of what is arising to be revealed, (in its own time), by life’s intelligence. We can practise this letting be in our daily lives too, and experience the wonder of life’s fluid expression: for instance, we may notice waves of disgust arising for us, which if not interfered with by thoughts of judgement, give way to a deep sense of love.

In practising detachment, we are being with ‘the seeing’. From this larger perspective of awareness, we can intuit, and even experience the vastness of the flow of life, where everything is possible, everything is both known and unknown, where everything is embraced, including cause and effect, and beyond that, where everything is joined, everything reflects everything else, and where nothing has ever happened. It is from this vast pool of potential, happenings and nothingness, that life is born.
In seeing and letting be we are taken into a ‘nothingness’, where what is arising in the form of an emotion, a sensation or fact dissolves into space. We dissolve into space. In fact the ultimate detachment is detaching from the ‘I thought’, the belief that holds us into the experience of being a separate form, a separate human being. In the flow of a Metamorphic Practice session, we forget ourselves, and the ‘I’ gets out of the way.
Detachment is not about keeping separate, but about being in love/being present with all that there is without having to fix any of it. It gives us the opportunity to shed our habitual ‘I’ stories of doing, saving, controlling, trying, defending, or needing. It is not an act of setting ourselves apart from our clients; rather it facilitates a recognition that we are of the same kind.
