55. Ahimsa: Non-violence
from Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G Hosted by Jess Goulding
In this week's podcast, we are informed by BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga to help us wrap our heads around going beyond non-violence and into love of all. We are encouraged to EXPERIENCE what we believe, not just think about it. Start by experiencing it in your own body--pain can be thought of as the body's signal that there is some violence going on. Stop, back off, breathe, and re-enter what you are doing with more attention, ease, and self-compassion. Or perhaps change your activity entirely. Sometimes it's helpful to treat your body the way you want your best friend or partner to treat their's. Then take the practice to the world. We're all complaining that the country is divided, right? Do your part to practice love of ALL. The next time you catch yourself thinking negatively about someone or a group of people, try THE 7 STEPS OF AHIMSA at www.jessgyoga.com/blog Let me know how it goes! I love to have stories to draw from for my teaching. Your experience could help someone else, so don't be shy! May the world you create within and around you be one of love, compassion, and non-violence. Love, Jess
