In this episode we are continuing with our mini series of meditating on the Yamas. These are the foundational ethical principles of Yoga. If you think of yoga as just the physical practice you are missing the other 7 fascinating limbs, branches or spokes of yoga.

The Yama we are looking at is Asteya, which translates as "non-stealing". There is the obvious meaning of this but within the strictest interpretation of yogic philosophy this means having more than you need, and taking resources away from others. In our softer interpretation we can see this as accumulating too much "stuff", and succumbing to the programming of society that tells us we need to have all the things to show our success, be happy and prove that we are a suitable mate.

In this meditation we ask ourselves if we can begin to let go... of stuff, of attachments and invite in an abundance of the aspects of life that we can never have in excess - love, gratitude, joy, laughter, creativity, peace.

Much love
