At the surface, this premise might seem as though At the surface, this premise might seem as though it advocates for community. Suggesting that you and I need to be part of a larger group that shares a commitment to being part of that group in order to thrive. However, When we practice NVC as a modality of Yoga, we acknowledge that While we may need each other, We need each other all in our full Sovereignty, To be able to effectively live in interdependence. Community group membership (such as a family group, friend group, group with shared beliefs, etc.) can necessitate a sacrifice of personal autonomy in exchange for inclusion or belonging, leading to disempowerment. There is an alternative! You can create a personal network. One where your personal responsibility overlaps with mine, such that you and I are sharing responsibility for some facet(s) of each other in full clarity and consent. No one sacrifices autonomy. Everyone is empowered. Interdependence is only possible when we are all empowered. The alternative is for humans to meet their needs through manipulative or exploitative relationships. And as we both know, this is very common. The One Person Revolution is no joke. It’s a radical shift in how we live and what we aim for. Are you up for it? Dive into this more during the Ethics in Relationships Workshop Series next month (link in bio)! It will finish just in time for what might be a community-intensive holiday season for you. Enter into it prepared! In practice, Tara [Image descriptions pinned in comments]
Let’s talk about how Katniss Everdeen is a pract Let’s talk about how Katniss Everdeen is a practicing Yogi. (Note: spoiler alert!) The Sanskrit word 'hiṃsā' can be translated as 'harm' or 'violence.' Placing an 'a' in front of it creates its opposite, so 'ahiṃsā' can be translated as 'non-harm' or 'non-violence.' There are multiple expressions of ahiṃsā based on tradition: For example, in the Jain tradition ahiṃsā equates to passivism. It is believed that action itself creates harm, and therefore the only way to not harm is to not act. This is in contrast to the Yoga tradition’s expression of ahiṃsā which necessitates action in the form of harm interruption. According to Yoga, there is no space to practice living life until we have interrupted harm, which then creates room in the world for ourselves and our practice. This is why ahiṃsā is the first step of the pre-practice of Yoga (the Yama-s, Yoga Sūtra II.30). We can see this reflected in The Hunger Games as Katniss – and all the people living in the Districts – do not have space to live life on their own terms. They are under-resourced and operating within a system of harm that is suppressing their ability to challenge themselves, own their values, and create space for each other to do the same. In response to this harm, we don’t see Katniss run away or attempt to opt-out. (In fact, she opted-in when she volunteered for the 74th Games!) Instead, she actively participates in order to interrupt the harm directly. Examples include (a) suggesting that her at Peeta eat the poison berries in the 74th Games, and (b) shooting the electrified arrow at the stadium shield in the 75th Games. Sitting on the sidelines for the battle against harm is not the Yogi’s choice. And! Expressions of actions that contribute to the battle against harm are diverse! Think: Prim’s contribution to the resistance as a medic can be just as Yogic as Katniss’ contribution as the face of the revolution. So.. do you practice Yogic ahiṃsā? What actions are you currently taking to interrupt systemic harm around you and within yourself? Check out the link in my bio for upcoming offerings!

15 Minutes of Self-Intimacy. Today's practice is i 15 Minutes of Self-Intimacy. Today's practice is inspired by Mercury - this lunar cycle's planetary ruler! In your astral body, Mercury resides at Viśuddha (pronounced vish-OOD-ha), your throat cakra. Mercury brings with it values of communication, learning, clarity and ability. Loosen up this area of your body with some gentle stretching, and soften into what the season is offering to teach you. Everything in this space is an invitation, please listen to your body's wisdom and choose accordingly. With love and in practice, Tara
Do you know that warm, fuzzy feeling when you give Do you know that warm, fuzzy feeling when you give something to someone That they actually want/need? Not out of obligation But out of the pure joy of giving? At these times, it doesn’t matter what you give. It could be your presence, an object, or a hug. It is the act of giving that is in and of itself valuable. On the other end of the spectrum, do you know that cool, dense feeling when you give something to someone Out of obligation Or out of an attempt to manipulate or control them? The strings attached to the ‘gift’ weigh you down, and the other person too. And the joy of free giving is extinguished in place of transaction. Nonviolent Communication (NVC, aka Compassionate Communication) suggests that humans love to give freely, and it is our socialization and conditioning towards violence [through western imperialism] that has corrupted this joyful practice and way of expressing our true nature into a transactional action where we use others to get what we want. “No good deed goes unpunished” is a phrase I’ve heard before. However, through a Yoga lens, it requires a slight addition: “No good deed goes unpunished.. when you tie that good deed to additional expectations or outcomes.” Doing good deeds as a means to an end is Consequentialist in its moral theory. And it is in this Consequentialist frame that the joy of giving disappears. It is within a Yoga frame – through a modality such as NVC – that the innate joy in giving is uncovered within us. Want to learn more about NVC within the backdrop of Yoga philosophy? Sign up for notifications of upcoming offerings via the link in my bio! And if you’d like, please share in the comments about a time when you gave freely, without any strings attached. How did it feel? What did you learn? Would you do it again/have you done it since?

“Have you ever seen a sound? Have you listened “Have you ever seen a sound? Have you listened to an image? Have you ever touched a thought? Have you ever tasted nothing? Have you ever told a lie That was true more than truth Because truth it had lied All its life when it spoke to you? And what did it say? It is that, it is this This goes here, here is there It is not, yes it is It was dulling your senses Your eyes they were bound Have you ever, my friends Been looking around?” - Miserere, song by @thecatempire [Image descriptions pinned in comments]
