Aparigraha

Sanskrit Name:
Aparigraha
Devanagari:
अपरिग्रह

Short Summary

Non-hoarding — trusting the flow of life instead of clinging to possessions, people, or ideas.

Full Description

*Aparigraha* dissolves the grip of grasping. In Tantra, clinging is born from forgetting the inexhaustible nature of *Śakti*. By letting go, you allow space for the new to arrive. This is not forced austerity — it’s making room for life to breathe.

Try this: Release one small thing today — an object, thought, or expectation — and breathe into the space it leaves.
