In yoga, there is the teaching of Ahimsa which is translated as non-harming. It applies to action, thoughts and speech towards oneself and others. This week there was another national and heart breaking tragedy and the loss of many lives due to the harmful actions of one. There are many important ways to become involved whether it be direct action on gun safety or anti-corruption measures. And I can’t help but think perhaps if mindfullness and social emotional learning were integrated into learning perhaps that would make a difference? Hard questions and difficult answers. Be tender with yourselves as we collectively grieve once again.
Friday Links
This was a delicious dinner this week. Definitely add the pickled onions…they are so good!
This book looks interesting. Some of you may remember that I love design books so I am excited that I found this at the library.
No surprises in this article but always good to read and keep the motivation for practice high.
Has anyone seen this film? I am curious if you liked it. I have a hard time sitting down to watch a movie, so I appreciate lots of positive reviews.
These are awesome!
