For those of us on this life long learning journey, the values we hold can make or break the impact of our efforts. Deliberately reflecting on our values, as often as possible, is essential to our growth and maturation processes.

Many spiritual teachings guide on the importance of detachment on a path to some form of enlightenment. These teachings have application to our lives in very challenging ways that often pin our logical thinking against our emotions and intuition. In better understanding detachment and where it can help in our maturation processes, we give our gut the chance to catch up to our mind to create a more coherent growth journey.

Our adult life experiences have the power to teach us so much, yet we struggle to absorb the necessary learnings to grow up into mature, conscious humans. Despite the power of experiential learning, there is still a necessary deliberate learning practice that must accompany our processes.
