This Satsang Begins a 10-Class Series on Self-care and the Cultivation of Awareness and Practice

Ahimsa (Non-Violence)

Yama #1 of the Classical Yogic Tradition

 

What does ‘non-violence’ mean beyond not lashing out physically, or engaging in self-defeating negative mindset?

Transform your understanding of self-care and spiritual practice with an enlightening journey that dives deep into the foundations of yoga, guided by the timeless wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the Netra Tantra (The Tantra of the 3rd Eye).

What You’ll Learn:

  • Introduction to Yoga:
    Begin with a foundational overview of yoga as a holistic practice for mind, body, and spirit.
  • Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras:
    Explore the essential concepts of the Yamas and Niyamas, with a particular focus on the first Yama: non-violence.
  • Understanding Non-Violence:
    Engage in thought-provoking discussions on the true meaning of non-violence and its profound implications in everyday life.
  • The Great Vow:
    Discover Patanjali’s reference to the “great vow” and how committing to non-violence can transform your spiritual journey.
  • Comparative Teachings:
    Gain insights by comparing Patanjalian teachings with Netra Tantra, highlighting a more concise and pervasive understanding of the Yamas and their role in achieving the perfection of Yoga.
  • Featured Guided Meditations:

    • Repose in the Silent Ground of Being:
      Discover the deep silence that underpins all of reality, connect with your inner stillness, and embrace the essence of non-violence.
    • The Cave in the Heart:
      Dive deep into your inner sanctuary to discover the radiant source of light within, nurturing compassion for yourself and others through an abiding recognition of essence nature.

    Why This Program?

    In a world that often emphasizes conflict, this program offers a refreshing perspective on cultivating awareness and compassion. Through the teachings of Patanjali, practical guided meditations, and the support of deep contemplations for future spiritual practice, you’ll learn how to integrate non-violence into your daily life, enhancing your self-care practices and spiritual growth.
