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'
