Day 2: Letting go

✨ DAY 2: LETTING GO OF ATTACHMENTS ✨

Today's Teaching:

Abhyasa Vairagyabhyam Tannirodhah - "Practice and non-attachment are the means to still the mind" Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.12

This powerful sutra reveals the dual path to inner peace: consistent practice (abhyasa) and the art of letting go (vairagya). Like a river that flows continuously yet never clings to any moment, we learn to move through life with dedication while releasing our grip on outcomes, expectations, and old patterns that no longer serve us.

Taking It Beyond the Mat:

This practice of non-attachment weaves into every aspect of life:

In Relationships: Loving without possessing

In Goals: Staying committed without being attached to outcomes

In Emotions: Feeling fully while allowing emotions to flow through

In Thoughts: Observing without getting caught in mental stories

In Change: Embracing impermanence as a natural part of life

Words of Wisdom:

"Like holding sand in your palm, the tighter you grip, the more it slips away. But open your hand, and the sand remains, free to stay or go. Today, we practice opening our hands to life."

Remember: Letting go isn't about not caring—it's about caring so deeply that we're willing to release our need to control. Each release creates space for something new to emerge.
