Meditation Exercise on cutting Attachments and Desires

Meditation Exercise from Ananda's Online Course on Inner Peace:

"Experiential Exercise
Mentally review your heart every night. Polish it and see it glow with golden energy.
With a laser beam of light cut the cords of any attachments you see connected to your
heart. You are cutting the attachment but not the love you feel in your heart. Rather, you are freeing yourself to love the object of your attachment unconditionally. Make a mental bonfire, and cast into it any unwanted desires along with the bonds of your attachments.

Burn them up and watch them disappear."
