In my last post I talked about looking forward to the future.
Today, I read "What does aparigrapha (part of the yamas in the Yoga Sutras) mean to you?"
My first thought was: Non-hoarding.
Of course there's physical hoarding (shopping, collecting, even hoarding someone's time) but, then I began to think about metaphysical hoarding.
We humans seem to hoard emotions, feelings, sensations even when it is a detriment. Sometimes we just can't let go. Addiction comes in many forms and on many levels. External stimulants/motivators come in many forms: Good Grades, Love, Alcohol, Nicotine, Food, Sex, etc.
So I think aparigrapha means not letting these external stimulants define your being.
What will you let go of in 2011?
