Ahimsa

-
"Não adianta fazer yoga e não cumprimentar o porteiro" (via Danielle Paes Gouveia).
O princípio do "Ahimsa" é o primeiro dos Yamas (prescrições de comportamentos sociais e individuais) do caminho em 8 passos sugerido no Yoga Sutra de Pantanjali, e significa não-violência, nem contra o próximo, nem contra si.

------------------------------------------------------------ GROUNDED SPIRITUALITY There is difference between being spiritual and avoiding physical and social reality, and being truly spiritual as part of being here, right now, connected to the present moment.

One of them is the binary Yin & Yang system, and the Five Element cycles (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water & Wood) are another. For further information you can talk to a D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine), and research on your own. If you are not familiar with this knowledge, a good book to start would be Giles Marin's book Five Elements ,  Six Conditions : A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology, and Internal Alchemy .  In this story, Raddie thanks her parents, Dame and Nate , for her life, and celebrates her Chinese Medicine elemental constitution in the presence of three powerful crystals:  Chrysoprase , Blue  Hemimorphite ,   and Reddish-Brown-Orange Aragonite, present  in the first image of this story.
