The yama asteya, non-stealing, has come to my attention in part as a result of Kira's workshop this weekend involving the study of the first two rungs of Patanjali's 8 limb path. I'd always breezed over asteya, as my understanding of non-stealing has been in the outermost levels and the obviousness of non-stealing made this yama "boring ". But, like any relationship, the closer you pay attention and have interest, the more interesting it becomes. The invitation of the yoga practice is to look deeper, into the more subtle. I found myself asking "what's actually stealing my peace? What's blocking my willingness to see more clearly? Its less about the 'things' and 'people', or life and situations, and all about my thoughts and my relationship to the awesomeness that's clearly right here and now.
