July 2022 week 1

We have finally made our way to the 5th and final Yama - Aparigraha (translated as non possessiveness, non hoarding) as our spiritual guide. A perfect guide for summer!!! The spiritual life is always about letting go, it is never about holding on!!! We all know the feeling of clutter in our physical space and how it weighs us down and blocks our ability to physically move. Clutter in our minds blocks our freedom to expand and have space for the next thing life wants to bring us. I heard from Deborah Adele: “What we possess ends up possessing us."

Attachments to our thoughts is as wasteful as our attachments to our piles of stuff! This summer lets use Aparigraha to travel light which as far as I am concerned requires me to be on a spiritual path so I can trust and let go of my busy mind and old thoughts. These thoughts, projections and fears are an energy in our lives that robs us of the moment.

How many bags full of expectations, tasks, plans, worries and fears are you carrying around with you everyday? Our intention is: Happiness is a choice I make!! Choose happiness today, choose to let go of things, people or thoughts that are weighing you down and enjoy the ride here in our beautiful space!!!!
