As a Yogini I am always trying my best to live with awareness.
I am often reminded to think about Ahimsa and how I am applying it to my life.
Ahimsa means non-violence and is outlined in Pantanjali's yoga sutras.

It was because of Ahimsa that I chose to become a vegetarian at age 15.
It is Ahimsa that I need to remember when I am angered by other people, and it is Ahimsa that
I need to exercise when I am practicing my asanas, keeping the reigns on my ego and not over taxing my body
and creating injury. It is Ahimsa I need to remember when I torment myself when I make mistakes
as all humans do.
I found this nice short article that speaks about the many facets of Ahimsa and I wanted to share it with you and
perhaps it will make you think about creating some small changes within your own life that will contribute to a
more peaceful community and world.
One small step at a time, all these things take place when we FEEL
the need to make them happen, not by forcing, and not because it is trendy.
These changes are lasting and meaningful when they make sense to us in a very profound way, in our heart , our center of "Being".
I hope you will enjoy the article.
