The yogic practice (& ancient Indian principle) of non-violence is a beautiful way to gently tread through life with respect for all living beings.
That act of non-violence is not just extended out to others it’s about kindness to self too.
As we weave our way through this sometimes twisted path, being kind to our body with the foods we eats, being kind with our self-talk, intentions & actions makes the journey easier to navigate. As we send kindness to others, we receive this back in abundance too.
If you find yourself stuck in a negative loop within your mind whether to yourself or projected to others, a simple technique is to switch the words within your mind to kinder ones. I practice with “I send you peace, I send you love, I send you happiness” (to myself and others).
Be kind, it really is the antidote to so many of life’s issues.
