Living Joyfully: Asteya
|
| Hi Everyone!This week in the SLCC Yoga teacher training group, we spent a long time on the topic of asteya. Asteya is one of the "Yamas" of Yoga - a practice for living wisely in community with others. It is traditionally translated as 'not stealing,' but some translations render it as 'living in generosity:'
"Abiding in generosity and honesty (asteya) material and spiritual prosperity is bestowed." Yoga Sutra 2:37
In other words, when we live from a spirit of abundance, rather than grasping, prosperity flows toward us naturally.
As I pondered the idea, an opportunity arose to put it to the test while standing in line at Office Max. It was a long line. By the time the man in front of me reached the counter, I was not cultivating a feeling of abundance in terms of my precious time!  Then, to make matters worse, the customer wanted to use some kind of coupon to get a $15 rebate on his expensive purchase, while the clerk insisted that he didn't qualify for it because he wasn't an Office Max member (and didn't want to be). It was then that the situation finally percolated through my selfishness and impatience. I decided to practice generosity, even though it surely meant prolonging my wait. I intervened. I asked the clerk if the man could use my membership to get the money back. Both the customer and the clerk looked at me in surprise - I think we slip into our own little world sometimes in our interactions and forget the bystanders. My intervention snapped them out of their haggling (already an improvement!) but the clerk informed me that only I could use my membership, so if I gave my number, I would get the rebate. I told the man I was sorry I couldn't help him. And then it happened: he told me to give the membership number anyway: "Somebody might as well benefit from the money back" he said! So although it was not my intention, abundance came my way. I now have a credit for $15 dollars off my next purchase, and the things I bought that day cost $14.95. My order was basically free. More importantly, I felt good about my actions, rather than exasperated with the wait, and the other customer also walked away feeling generous and abundant - he knew he was giving something, rather than losing. Who knows how that went on to change his day!"Abiding in generosity and honesty (asteya) material and spiritual prosperity is bestowed." Yoga Sutra 2:37 click here to see more art by Kirsten Miller |

According to Ayurveda, everyt hing in the universe is made up of a combination of the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The human being also has 'soul' or 'spirit.' Understanding the ways in which these elements flow through and around us can deeply enhance both our personal Yoga practice and our class experience.
"The Elements of Practice" takes the Ayurvedic elements as the starting point for an exploration of the practice of Yoga on a deeply integrated level. Saturday Feb 6 & Sunday Feb 7, 1-5 pm $100 for both days in advance,
