Ishtar Darlington
The yamas, translated as to ‘curb’ or ‘rein’, are 5 ethical disciplines that guide us in how to live in relation to other people and the world around us. While they may seem quite straight forward, putting them into practice can be trickier than anticipated when you extend them to apply to your actions, words and thoughts.
Ahimsa: Non-violence or harming
Satya: Truthfulness and non-lying
Asteya: Avoidance of stealing
Brahmacharya: Practicing moderation and temperance
Aparigraha: Non-possessiveness and practicing detachment
