Brahmacharya is one of the Yamas, ethical guidelines in Yoga philosophy. This includes managing your energy in terms of speech, consumption, activity, and thoughts. The goal is to avoid excess and depletion, fostering a balanced and intentional way of living. Brahmacharya is about self-mastery, not suppression. Be guided using an affirmation to experience inner wholeness.
THIS WEEK'S THEME: "The Art of Enough: Finding Peace in Moderation"
This 7-day meditation series explores the Yama of Brahmacharya, traditionally interpreted as continence, but more broadly understood as moderation and the responsible use of energy. This series aims to help you cultivate balance in all aspects of your life—physical, mental, and emotional. Each day builds upon the previous one, guiding you to integrate Brahmacharya into your daily experiences.
