Hello, dear fellow travelers! Welcome to the sixth step of our Yamas series. In the first five episodes, we discussed Ahimsa (Non-violence), Satya (Truth), Asteya (Non-stealing), Brahmacharya (Right Use of Energy), and Aparigraha (Non-greed). Today, we will focus on Santosha, the sixth yama of yoga and meditation, which translates as 'contentment'.
Santosha is often translated as 'contentment' or 'inner peace'. It involves finding satisfaction and happiness within ourselves, regardless of external circumstances.
Let's provide an example of how Santosha can be applied to our daily lives. You might practice gratitude and appreciate the present moment, finding contentment in the simple joys of life. By cultivating contentment, we can reduce the desire for constant external validation and find peace within ourselves.
In this post, we explored Santosha, the sixth yama of yoga and meditation. Cultivating contentment and finding inner peace are the essence of this principle.
Feel free to share what Santosha has taught you in your life. Share your thoughts on how we can better integrate Santosha into our daily lives.
Our journey continues with Santosha, the sixth step of this summer series. In the next post, we will delve into the seventh yama of yoga and meditation: Tapas, which means 'self-discipline' or 'passion'.
