"The longest journey begins with a single step." ~ Patanjali It's easy to drift through life without full awareness of how much your thoughts and actions influence how you deal with emotional stress. Recognizing attachments puts you on the path to releasing harmful influences so that you begin to reclaim your life. This week, you'll be exploring the fifth and final Yama from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. The fifth Yama is Aparigraha and has to do with non-attachment. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on honoring the way you live your life. You'll focus on releasing negative thoughts and physical possessions that no longer serve you. This is part 1 of a 7-part Non-Attachment meditation series with the 5th Yama Aparigraha, episodes 2124-2130. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Freedom Quest where every day this week you are challenged to do two things: 1) Release thoughts that no longer serve you. 2) Release a physical item that you no longer use or appreciate.

"Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it." ~ Pantanjali We are living in a time of excess and extremes politically, economically, and socially.

"Here is, in truth, the whole secret of Yoga, the science of the soul. The active turnings, the strident vibrations, of selfishness, lust, and hate are to be stilled by meditation, by letting heart and mind dwell in spiritual life, by lifting up the heart to the strong, silent life above, which rests in the stillness of eternal love, and needs no harsh vibration to convince it of true being." ~ Patanjali We are living in a time of excess and extremes politically, economically, and socially.
