Let it go

Over the last week we have shifted into the season of letting go, Autumn. The trees start to gently let go of their leaves as they no longer serve a purpose to the upcoming season of winter. The leaves shift from vibrant greens to golds, reds, oranges and browns. Just as we recognize the leaves as beautiful while dying we too can find beauty and grace in letting go of what no longer serves us.

In yoga there is a term Aparigraha--Not Grasping
This is the concept of non-possessiveness or non-greediness.

Yes we can take this literally such as the owning and the accumulating of things but I like to think it also be refers to holding on to judgements and feelings. No matter which way you look at it this Yama is a beautiful intention to hold during this transitional period.

It's a time to reflect on what no longer serves you spiritually and emotionally as well as your personal belongings and let it go. Lets start to make space for that which serves us.

Happy Fall!!

Namaste
