In this episode of Ask A Swami, Swami Matananda, Ashram teacher and resident, reflects on the deeper spiritual dimensions of Love and Attachment. Drawing on her lived experiences, she speaks about how she has navigated attachment, emotions and competition within relationships.Inspired by the spiritual teachings of her guru, Swami Radha, Swami Matananda invites us to look more closely at our emotional reactions and the ways they can become opportunities for awareness and inner work: "Whenever I've had an emotional reaction and it kinda jumps on me like a snake, that is my warning that I'm heading to ego-land or attachment-land, and I want to investigate that. What is that? Where did it come from? And how do I work with it?" - Swami Matananda
