An exploration of the fifth of ten of yoga's ancient ethical principles - Aparigraha - nonpossessiveness. "In our efforts to hold on tight, we have less space to receive other opportunities. We have less ability to grow, learn and change in all the ways our souls yearns for. Surrendering where it's needed can feel incredibly terrifying, for what is space other than emptiness? In Ayurvedic thought... space is the place where everything happens. It is empty, and it is nowehere, and yet it's expansive; it's the place before everything happens".
