EP 47: Ayni or the Concept of Reciprocity
In today’s episode, listeners learn about Ayni, which can refer to either the concept of reciprocity or mutualism among the people of Andean mountain communities, as well as others who practice this concept. As a noun, the law of Ayni states that everything in the world is connected and it is the only commandment that rules daily life in many communities. Tune in as Dr. Minni Malhotra describes what Ayni means and how it is practiced, and she explains how sharing knowledge and wisdom only contributes towards the growth and elevation of humanity. She also shares ways in which everyone can practice Ayni in their own lives, and why it must be viewed as an equal exchange and not one where one party benefits more than the other. Find out more about the concept of reciprocity, and how to apply it in interpersonal situations and in business in this episode of Crushing PCOS!
