We’ll also continue the discussion and practice of the yogic principle of ahimsa (non-violence.) Non-violence towards the world, towards each other and especially towards ourselves. Here is the exploration you were invited to partake in:

“This week practice courage by doing one thing daily that you wouldn’t normally do. If you’re feeling brave, make that one thing something that scares you. If you’re feeling really courageous, get excited about the fact that you’re scared and are doing it anyway. See if you can discern between fear and the unfamiliar. Watch what happens to your sense of self and how your relationships with others might be different because you are courageously stepping into unknown territory.”

~Deborah Adele, excerpted from her book, “The Yamas & Niyamas – Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practices”
