As I have shared in previous posts, the Yamas are the outer ethical codes and foundations of the eight limbs, made up of five Yamas: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya, & Aparigraha. ⁠
⁠ ⁠
 ♥️ Asteya ​♥️ ⁠
(Non-Stealing / Generosity)
⁠
Let's unpack these... ⁠
⁠
Non-Stealing:
Not only physical possessions We're talking time, energy, care, and attention! Consider how easy it is to steal these intagible items from others! ⁠
Non-Stealing Check-In: ⁠
Are you quick to pour your heart out to a loved one without first checking-in to see if they have time OR energy to hold space for you? ⁠Do you expect an instant response when you text or email? Are you nurturing reciprocity in your relationships? ⁠
⁠
Generosity:
Not only physical posessions or money  Generoisty has everything to do with time, energy, care, and attention! Consider what it means to have a generous heart. ⁠
Generosity Check-In: ⁠
When have you received generosity from someone? ⁠
How have you been generous with your heart and energy?⁠
⁠
Now, perhaps most importantly, consider how you practice asteya with yourself! As with all growth, our practice starts and ends within.  ⁠
⁠
What can you do, starting today, to deepen your practice of Asteya?
⁠
In our Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology YTT's we are all part of the studentship and it is essential that we work together to be generous with our time, attention, and energy. It is a joy to put this into practice with such incredibe souls.⁠
⁠
We would love to hear your reflections, if you are called to share!⁠
