When we hear the word sacrifice we often think of giving something up. When we are attached to something or someone we think giving it up might be a painful sacrifice. In reality, what we have been holding on to so tightly has limited our own freedom, our sense of who we thought we were when we had it. When you offer as a sacrifice, you may be surprised to find out the real cause of your attachment. This will offer you insight and a sense of freedom and wholeness.
