Navigating Grief: Yamas & Niyamas for Midlife Healing.

Grief happens frequently during midlife. Yoga offers a unique perspective and valuable tools to navigate this complex terrain.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a foundational text of yoga philosophy, outlines an eightfold path towards self-realization. Within this framework, the Yamas (ethical principles) and Niyamas (self-observances) provide a guiding light through midlife grief. The Yamas cultivate compassion in our interactions with the world, including ourselves, while the Niyamas invite us to build inner strength and self-awareness.

How can the Yamas & Niyamas support us in navigating grief?

The Yamas like Ahimsa (non-violence) encourage self-compassion, while Satya (truthfulness) invites us to acknowledge our emotions with honesty. The Niyamas, such as Saucha (cleanliness) and Santosha (contentment), can help us create a supportive environment and find moments of peace amidst the sadness.

The Niyamas: Cultivating Self-Discipline for a Flourishing Midlife Yoga Practice.

The Yamas establish a foundation of ethical living, which is the bedrock of any spiritual practice. They guide our interactions with the world, promoting non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, moderation, and non-possessiveness. The Niyamas, on the other hand, turn our focus inwards, inviting us to cultivate self-discipline and personal growth. These internal observances include cleanliness (Saucha), contentment (Santosha), discipline (Tapas), self-study (Svadhyaya), non-attachment (Aparigraha), and surrender (Ishvarapranidhana).
