Summary

Do negative thoughts steal away your mental focus? Research shows that more than 90% of the thoughts we think each day are repetitive and negative. Imagine freeing up your mental focus to allow positive thoughts. You might not consider your negative thoughts as thieves. In fact, negative thoughts may steal away some of the best moments of your life. Consider the time and attention negative thoughts take away from each day of your life. In this week's series, you'll explore how to release these thieves. This week, you'll be exploring non-stealing, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on honoring the way you live your life. You'll focus on truthfulness to help cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today. This is part 1 of a 7-part Release Negative Thoughts with the 3rd Yama Asteya meditation series episodes 2110-2116.

0:00.0	This is episode 2110 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:07.7	I'm Mary Meckley, and I honor you for being here right where you are, as you get ready to give yourself a little peace, energy, and clarity.
0:24.0	In today's episode, we launch into a brand new series, and this is a series that has to do
0:34.4	with releasing negative thoughts.
0:38.5	But not just any kind of negative thoughts.
0:44.4	These are the thoughts that pull you away from feeling connected with yourself and with
0:52.4	the world. Yoga means union or unity and any time you pull yourself away from,
1:02.2	your true essence, you're not really living your truth. This doesn't allow others to relate to you in an authentic way. And it causes

2:27.3	So that's a pretty big time span, but what we know is that the Yoga Sutras is a work of truth.
2:37.9	And it's similar, not quite as extensive.
2:41.9	It's actually pretty concise, the Yoga Sutras.
2:45.6	It's similar to the Bible in Christianity or the Torah in Judaism or the Quran in Islam.
