Summary

You really can let go of negative thoughts. Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. In today's episode, you'll release harmful emotions and replace them with loving thoughts as you repeat an affirmation. I don't think anyone would disagree that the world needs more loving-kindness. This week, take part in the ancient tradition of Ahimsa, or non-violence, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Discover how harmful thoughts are considered to be as violent as physical violence. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on sending more peace and love into the world. You'll release negative thoughts and cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today. Join us in part 1 of this week's Loving Kindness series. You'll be guided to release negative, harmful thoughts and replace your thoughts with loving-kindness. This is part 1 of a 7-part Loving Kindness meditation series episodes 2096-2102.

0:00.0	This is episode 2097 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to our
0:09.5	series. We are at day two of this week's series where we're exploring the theme of pantanjali's
0:19.2	yoga sutras in regard to the yamas. This week we're focusing on the
0:26.0	first yama which is haemza or non-violence and this is non-violence not only in

2:31.9	in your life, other self-improvement areas.
2:35.0	It all starts with opening up to the possibility of love and kindness.
2:46.0	So when you think about what's going on in the world today,
2:49.0	loving kindness isn't something that likely comes to your mind.
2:55.4	In fact, you could say that there's a lot of violence, physical as well as harmful thoughts.
