Hello, dear fellow travelers! Welcome to the final step of our Yamas series. In the first seven episodes, we discussed Ahimsa (Non-violence), Satya (Truth), Asteya (Non-stealing), Brahmacharya (Right Use of Energy), Aparigraha (Non-greed), Saucha (Purity), and Santosha (Contentment). Today, we will focus on Ishvara Pranidhana, the eighth and final yama of yoga and meditation, which translates as 'surrender to the divine'.
Ishvara Pranidhana signifies surrendering to a higher power or the divine. It involves accepting things beyond our control and trusting in the flow of the universe.
Let's provide an example of how Ishvara Pranidhana can be applied to our daily lives. Perhaps your plans didn't go as expected, and you found yourself facing an unexpected situation. In such moments, you can practice Ishvara Pranidhana by surrendering and patiently waiting to see what unfolds.
In this post, we explored Ishvara Pranidhana, the final yama of yoga and meditation. Surrendering to the divine and trusting in the flow of things beyond our control form the essence of this principle.
Feel free to share what Ishvara Pranidhana has taught you in your life. Share your thoughts on how we can better integrate surrender to the divine into our daily lives.
With this series, we have completed an important step in our yoga and meditation journey by exploring the Yamas. I hope this series has inspired you and helped you deepen your understanding of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. Namaste!
