Picture
"I move gently with love."
​ "I respect all beings" 
​

 Positive thoughts 

Mindfulness
Find forgiveness when a mistake has been made
Avoid  cursing and harsh words
Eat healthy and consciously
Be Kind

Only touch out of love, communion or deep and helpful compassion
Notice and change addictive patterns 
​Avoid hurting anything or anyone especially yourself
Recognize the harmful nature of guilt on the body/mind and the necessity to confront shame for healing


and sometimes it is better to LET IT OUT than hold it in

Post Note: 
List above is from 2004 and the below mention is from an assignment for PRYT, yoga therapy training in 2003--in which we were asked to pick a yama or niyama.  

Ahimsa: Be kind to your body, be kind to your heart, enrich your mind.  Be patient with your soul.  Leave judgement at the door while acknowledging your shadow.  Greet others in the same way with compassion because their truth is their own to discover.
