“Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.” ~ The Dalai Lama XIV Beautiful beings, In last week's newsletter, we struck up an internal dialogue about our relationship to aparigraha. A quick refresher: aparigraha is the 5th, and final, yama. The yamas provide our society with an ethical code and give us communal guidance. Aparigraha is commonly translated as non-attachment; you can also think of aparigraha as freedom. Freedom from greed, possessiveness, or covetousness. I love that another translation for aparigraha is generosity or awareness of abundance. If you want to easily re-visit last week's letter, you can do so here. The holiday season is the perfect time of year to deepen our practice of aparigraha. I'm so excited to share with you a few of my favorite techniques.
