Attachment or should I say Detachment?

The Yamas specifically Aparigraha is one of the core focuses through out our yoga journey as yogi's. In everyday life it can not always be noticeable,or easy to spot. I do asana practice everyday and mediation as well each day, and even with this practice it did not prepare me for the unexpected moment. I had a physical mishap which would tear me away from what I love doing each day and the schedule that I love to keep. Amazing the lesson in Aparigraha, possessive attachment- or should we say detachment.
I spent a long week, unraveling a schedule I love, and noticed that I was very attached to it. I now am on a bit lengthy rest period and noticing the amount of detachment that is needed in my daily life as a yogi. Nothing is for certain, and the yamas and niyamas give us the base of yoga philosophy to guide us for these moments. I now am working one day at a time and focusing on each moment even more than I did before. Cultivating a deep sense of awareness of what attachments I have, what I can find energy to detach from and what can assist me in feeling grounded in this moment. Namaste'
