Asteya in Trauma Survivors

Published: June 13, 2021, 3 p.m.

In this episode, we dive into the third Yama in our 10-part series on Yamas and Niyamas, Asteya or nonstealing. 


We all know that stealing is against the law, but Asteya is much more than not stealing physical items. When we step into nonstealing as a trauma survivor, we need to notice if our fears and worries push us to find outward satisfaction and “steal” what is not rightfully ours in a more figurative sense. 


In the episode, we look at how we steal from:


  • Others
  • The future
  • Ourselves
  • The earth


Listen in to see how to live a life aligned with Asteya.
