  1. If compassion doesn't include yourself, is it really compassion?

    For years I practiced ahimsa by refusing animal products. But I harmed myself with depletion, rigidity, and the belief purity equaled worth.

    How do you practice compassion toward yourself?

  2. The steps on the spiritual path cannot be the corpses of other beings. To walk The Way, violence must be cast aside. Free yourself by freeing others! #saha #sahadukkha #nonviolence #ahimsa #metta #lovingkindness #vegan #govegan

  3. Mile seven. That's when my hamstring said no, discipline had become harm.

    I thought I could run forever... then my body stopped me.

    What has your body been trying to tell you that you haven't been listening to?

  4. The first time I ate cheese after ten years of being vegan, I cried.

    Not from guilt, but relief. A deep thank-you I'd spent a decade trying not to hear.

    Have you ever felt your body asking for something your mind wasn't ready to give?

  5. @oldladyplays I actually find joy in identifying enemies.

    I have a mini-list that I wrote down in my notebook earlier. It has three items:

    • Listening (lies)
    • Doubling Down
    • Fugu

    My enemies lie. They lie to me and they lie to themselves.

    I double down on my listening just like they double down on their lies.

    I am a pufferfish. Good to eat, but you've got to be skilled if you don't want my ideas to incapacitate you.

    When I understand my enemies, it's a joyful thing to me.

  7. There's a sentence I'd read a hundred times. During injury recovery, it finally arrived.

    Ahimsa. Non-harming. I could define it, I just hadn't felt it yet.

    What idea took years to land in your body?

  8. Wenn richtig und falsch einzig im Auge des Betrachters liegen, kann es dann eine universelle Ethik und Moral geben?

  9. 🕊️ Yoga Sutra im Kriegslärm
    Patanjali stellt Ahimsa – das Nicht-Verletzen in Gedanken, Worten, Taten – an allererste Stelle.
    Gewaltlosigkeit heißt nicht Passivität. Es heißt: keine weitere Gewalt hinzufügen – auch nicht durch Hass, Verachtung oder Zynismus.
    Ich kann die Bilder aus Gaza, Sudan, Iran nicht ändern. Aber ich kann in mir ein kleines Feld von Ahimsa kultivieren.
    🌬️ Beim Einatmen: „Ich sehe das Leiden.”
    Beim Ausatmen: „Ich füge keine weitere Gewalt hinzu.”

  11. I learned ahimsa in Rishikesh, non-harming. But never connected it to my own body.

    I did not eat meat, tried to be kind. But pushing through was harm.

    Where in your life might you be practicing harm while calling it discipline?
