(5 ways to cultivate stability of mind in your daily life)


Ahimsa (the primary yama)- non violence, or compassion for all beings and things

Notice the aliveness of the floor, the mat. Step gently and carefully as if you didn't want to harm it.

Non violence on the level of action. Move through your practice, your day, as if you didn't want to harm the objects around you. Close the car door carefully. Walk gently on the ground.

Notice the state of your mind as you cultivate ahimsa.
