ASTEYA – CLASS REFLECTION & JOURNALING PROMPT

Hello, hoping you’re well and safe.

This past weekend I led a chair practice that focused on the third of the five yamas. According to the yogis, there is no gem like the peace of mind and ultimate joy that we can attain through spiritual practice and non-attachment.

3. Asteya: Non-Stealing 

Asteya means not stealing property or wealth that belongs to others. This includes not stealing work, ideas, actual items, ect… If you practice non-stealing you will reap all the gems in life, which are not necessarily monetary. The real gems are our peace of mind, joy and ultimate happiness. Non-attachment is the most effective antidote for the desire to steal, for the desire to possess comes to us only when we succumb to various forms of attachment.

Yoga Sutra 2.37: When one is established in non-stealing, all jewels present themselves.

Note: Often we try to imitate others and in doing so we go far from our own lifestyles and our truth.

Journaling Prompt: Practice being more honest with yourself. Whose approval are you seeking?

Take good care,
Natasha
