My recent birthday color analysis revealed several items no longer desirable in my closet. I weeded them out and set them aside to give away. Following each class yesterday, I invited students to take a look and choose any they may want.
During my time at the Kripalu ashram in the early 90s, I learned vairagya is a practice of detaching dispassionately. One application of this principle I used to embody by scheduling regular offerings of gently used items to our community. Yesterday’s giveaway revived that practice spontaneously and brought joy to those who participated.
What are you ready to detach from? What joy might it bring to someone else? Ki to Happiness loves and detaches, so as not to be possessed by possessions.
