Asteya (Non-Stealing)
Holly Henty | OCT 13, 2025
Robbed any banks recently? 😅
The yogic principle of “asteya” (non-stealing) reminds us not to take what isn’t ours
And it’s not just tangible items…but also things like taking people’s time, ideas, or agency
If we come from a feeling of lack, we have the belief “I don’t have enough.” And then we’re tempted to take what isn’t ours.
Practicing gratitude helps us to align with the Yama of asteya…non-stealing
As a survival mechanism, our brains will first go to perceived danger and lack. It’s natural.
So we have to train our brains to gratefully receive what IS…rather than look for what isn’t
✅Practicing Asteya this Wednesday 9:15 am in Kundalini Yoga & Meditation class
