Ego Detox: Funerals

Recently we had a "funeral" for a friend who's relationship had ended with her boyfriend and she wasn't able to "put it to rest" and end it in her head. It helped, but ultimately the "work" was up to her, but the process of the funeral allowed her to speed up the process a bit. What could have lingered on for months, only went on for a few weeks (then on & off for a couple months) until she could come to a place of acceptance. We actually wore all black, had her write a eulogy, "bury" stuff that released her from the attachment.... and so forth. It was actually very liberating for her!

Death of the Ego is much of the same. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to check ourselves into a center where we could dextox quicker from the addiction of our ego? Or to be able to have a funeral to put it to rest when we are having trouble letting go?

Now you know my brain is in crazy mode, but hey.... I think it, I write it. Sometimes it can be fun! :)
