Join me this week and let's go beyond the simple idea of "not stealing" and explore the deeper yogic principle of Asteya. This guided meditation invites you to examine your desires through the lens of adikara —the right to have. We'll explore how trying to possess what is beyond our current capacity can be a form of theft from our own future, and how building true competency is the key to ethically and sustainably receiving what we truly want. Find a comfortable seat and join me for a 20-minute journey into mindful stewardship of your life.
If you have ever felt a deep desire for something—a relationship, a career goal, a financial dream—but also a nagging fear that you might not be able to handle it if you got it? Join me this week because this episode moves beyond the philosophy of non-stealing into a practical guide for building true competence. We explore how to become the kind of person who can responsibly receive and steward your deepest desires.You'll get concrete steps to build the internal capacities, external skills, and supportive systems needed to hold what you want. We'll walk through a simple action plan to translate desire into practice, tackle common pitfalls like perfectionism and comparison, and end with a powerful guided exercise to assess your readiness. Learn how to cultivate your own "right to have" through the mindful work of preparation and stewardship.
Join me this week and explore Asteya—the yama of non-stealing—reimagined as the practice of building the competence to receive and steward what you truly want. Drawing on Deborah Adele's adikara ("the right to know" or "the right to have") and practical insights from psychology and skill-building, this episode offers metaphors, short practices, and concrete steps to help you notice desire, assess readiness, and grow the capacities needed to hold relationships, money, influence, and more—without shortcutting or harm.

In this week's Best Of episode, Michael explores the ethic of not stealing, (asteya). The Zen master Dōgen offers a beautiful translation: “The self and the things of the world are just as they are. The gate of freedom is open.” At its heart, this teaching is about being content with what we have. Another way to say it is this: not taking anything that isn't freely given. Recorded in 2011. From the 4th video in Michael's online course, "Embodying Ethics & Vows in Modern Life," a nine-week program weaving Buddhist and yogic ethics into the fabric of daily life. For the next few weeks, we'll be posting more excerpts and "Best of" episodes focused on The Five Ethics: • Ahimsa (Non-Violence) • Asteya (Non-Stealing) • Satya (Honesty) • Brahmacharya (Wise Use of Energy) • Aparigraha (Non-Greed) Join us to learn how these ethical principles can ground you in modern life.

Have you ever been accused of stealing? Probably not. Yet, most of us engage in various forms of stealing every day, often without realizing it. There are many ways in which we take from others, the Earth, future generations, and even ourselves.The third Yama, Asteya, encourages us to become aware of how our words and actions may rob others of their time, joy, or sense of self-worth. It reminds us that the Earth deserves our attention and appreciation now so that future generations can also experience its wonders. Lastly, we are prompted to consider how we steal from ourselves. We often forget that “comparison is the thief of joy,” yet we regularly diminish our own happiness by comparing or criticizing ourselves. As Oprah wisely said, “When we know better, we do better.” This embodies the essence of Asteya.Show notes:The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele
Brahmacharya, or non-indulgence, involves maintaining a sattvic (peaceful) state by avoiding excessive comfort and staying physically active with mindful practices like japa. It encourages using convenience as a tool, not a trap. Asteya, or non-arrogating, goes beyond not stealing to include humility—acknowledging that we are part of a greater whole.In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita.

Some yoga teachers believe they should only teach the poses they can personally execute, while others argue that teaching is about more than just demonstration. Where do you stand on this? In this episode, I unpack this common debate and explore five key considerations to help you decide what's best for your teaching journey.Episode Highlights:Teaching from direct experience: Why new teachers should focus on what they know well.Aligning with yoga ethics: How Satya (truth), Ahimsa (non-harming), and Asteya (non-stealing) relate to teaching.Navigating “life happens” moments: Teaching effectively even when facing injuries or major life transitions.The importance of staying just one step ahead of students instead of mastering every advanced pose.Using sequencing and props to expand your teaching skills without feeling overwhelmed.Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram
The fourth step of the Eightfold Path is Wise Action, which focuses on cultivating ethical behavior and harmonious relationships. It involves following the Five Precepts: refraining from taking life (Ahimsa), stealing (Asteya), sexual misconduct (Brahmacharya), false or harmful speech (Satya), and intoxication. These precepts guide practitioners toward actions that promote compassion, mindfulness, and respect for all beings.Wise Action also encourages choosing a livelihood that doesn't contribute to suffering and emphasises selflessness and generosity (Aparigraha), fostering empathy and detachment from material attachments.In your asana practice, reflect on your motivations for action. Are your choices rooted in fear or love, criticism or curiosity? By becoming aware of your thoughts, words, and actions, you can cultivate more mindful responses, aligning your actions with your core values. Recognise that every choice has consequences...your current life is shaped by past actions. Use this awareness to make wise, virtuous choices that promote happiness and well-being for yourself and others.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

In this episode, my special guest Jenny Rhodes of Aligned Yoga and I discuss the spiritual aspects of a yoga practice and its importance and benefits. She shares the story of her personal awakening through yoga as well as tips and suggestions to help the listener establish their own sacred practice. *Correction: Jenny would like to correct the record, that when speaking about the fear around speaking her TRUTH (SATYA) she referred to it mistakenly as ASTEYA (non-stealing) which in retrospect is so telling, as her story refers to being the thief of her own joy & self-honesty .

If this series sparks your interest we'd encourage you to follow that spark... you never know where it may lead you!This is what we spoke about during the episodeSometimes the word "discipline" comes with negative connotations, so we like to add in "devotional discipline". Even when we're practising discipline, we need an element of love, compassion and forgiveness.Tapas is required if you would like to welcome any kind of change.Things are not always pleasant, but we have to move through those obstacles in order to keep going forward.In regards to MerryBody, Tapas is not just about being disciplined, but it's about how we do the things that we're being disciplined with.Tapas isn't about pushing ourselves to the brink. It's about honouring our bodies and minds, and knowing when to rest.Nischala Joy Devi translates Tapas as living life with zeal and sincerity. When we are disciplined, it invokes this inner flame within us.If you're just joining us, we recommend starting from Part 1 to fully experience the logical flow of these Yogic philosophies.

Anand Mehrotra says "thinking that Patanjali was asking us to be celibate is ridiculous".Brahmacharya is not just about celibacy but also about channeling your energy and being aware of where your energy is going.It is a state of consciousness where you start to experience things based on their fullest value. When you look at a rose, you no longer label it as merely a rose, you start to look at it differently.Nishala Joy Devi says that Brahmacharya is the art of living a moderate life, but it can be challenging in our modern-day society of excess.If you missed the first three parts of this series, listen to:410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series411: Discovering Satya, the Power of Truth | Yamas Series412: The Practice of Asteya in Modern Life | Yamas SeriesIf you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

This episode is Part 3 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we dip our toes into the Yamas and Niyamas. It's a snack bite-sized dive into philosophy (haha). Satya is the 3rd of the 5 Yamas, and is traditionally translated to non-stealing.We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here.This is what we spoke about during the episodeAsteya is not just about non-stealing of physical possessions. Being late is stealing time. Distracting ourselves where there is no need for distraction is stealing from our own present moment.Nishala Joy Devi translates Asteya as abiding in generosity and honesty. When we are honest and generous, we experience abundance.Asteya tells us not to steal, but as it expands our hearts, it says give. Don't wait for someone to ask. Be alert and never miss an opportunity to give, give, give.Make sure to give to yourself first: compassion, love, acceptance, non-judgment, understanding, forgiveness. The more we give these to ourselves, the more we give them to others as well.If you missed the first and second parts of this series, listen to 410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series and 411: Discovering Satya, the Power of Truth | Yamas SeriesIf you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
Discover the profound connection between yoga philosophy and mental health in this enlightening podcast discussion. The conversation explores how traditional yogic principles like Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), and Saucha (cleanliness) can enhance mental well-being by promoting self-respect and mindfulness in everyday life. Michael and Dr Brendan delve into the concept of Asteya (non-stealing), extending it beyond physical theft to include the conservation of one's time, attention, and energy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of setting boundaries to protect personal energy and prevent burnout, a practice embodied in the principle of Brahmacharya, which focuses on energy preservation. This includes managing how one interacts with technology and social media to maintain mental health and overall vitality. The discussion highlights the role of self-discipline (tapas) in pushing through challenges, the value of self-study (svadhyaya), and the balance needed to achieve personal growth and self-care. The dialogue touches on integrating these practices into daily life, showing how yoga can lead to better self-awareness, enhanced relationships, and a healthier approach to mental challenges. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their energy management and how they can apply yogic principles to improve both personal well-being and interactions with others, paving the way for a fulfilling and balanced life.

Yamas are the essential moral principles to practice Yoga. In our western world, we might call these restraints or rules.Asteya is Non-Stealing. It is the third ethical restraint. Steya means unlawfully taking things that you are not entitled to or that don't belong to you. Asteya is abstaining from stealing. This refers to possessions, money, materials that are not yours, but can also include stealing; time, energy, ideas, talents, relationships, achievements, successes or even stealing rights or freedoms. When we analyse what motivates us to steal we see that the act is rooted in feeling a lacking of, not enough or there is a feeling of scarcity. Asteya is to abandon the intention, desire to possess or steal from others and oneself. In order to illustrate the point, we can use the example of Time. Time is important to everyone. Managing not to show up, to be late or run over time is robbing someone and yourself of one of the most valuable commodities we have. Asteya makes us accountable to stick to the agreed schedule whether if it is work, social or family. Or when you are there – work, social or family, you live in the moment, not in the past, future or fantasies or on your phone. When we recognise when we have wandered, not present with those around us, the realisation that you're being a time thief! Which gives you the opportunity to self-reflect and notice what is between you and being present with those around you. Asteya asks you to ‘be where you are now, not wasting the time.'To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here. To support Zephyr Yoga Podcast, donate here. Hosted on Acast.

अस्तेय, asteya (a-stay-yah), is 1 of 5 yamas in the 8 limbs of yoga. Yamas are a set of observances and guidelines in how to navigate life in how you treat yourself, others, and the living world you live in. Asteya is the yama of non-stealing. But the meaning goes far beyond first impressions and I'm honoured to go deeper with you.
How we can steal from ourselves when we aren't present. Using breath work to hack the nervous system to refocus on n the present moment. ✌
In dieser Folge meines Podcasts befasse ich mich mit einem Thema, das sowohl mein Herz als auch meine berufliche Praxis berührt: die Anwendung des Asteya-Prinzips, des Nicht-Stehlens, im Kontext des modernen Yoga und Internets. Ich teile meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem unerlaubten Herunterladen und Teilen meiner Yogastunden, Workshops und Kursen, ein Vorgang, der nicht nur mein Geschäft, sondern auch mein ethisches Verständnis als Yogalehrerin tiefgreifend betrifft. Wir diskutieren, wie die Prinzipien des Asteya und Ahimsa, der Nichtverletzung, in der heutigen digitalen Ära interpretiert und gelebt werden können. Diese Episode ist ein Aufruf zum Nachdenken und Handeln, um Respekt und Integrität in unserer Online-Yoga-Community zu fördern. Begleite mich auf dieser Reise, um zu verstehen, wie wir gemeinsam eine ethischere, respektvollere und bewusstere digitale Yoga-Welt gestalten können.

Today we are looking at the fifth and final yama of Aparigraha which is probably one of the most profound of the Yamas. It translates as non-greed, non- attachment or non-possessiveness. The literal translation is interesting – the “a” means non, the “pari” means “on all sides” and “graha” means to grab or take. So quite literally Aparigraha means "non–all sides–grab"!The idea of not being possessive or taking more than we need may sound similar to the Yama of Asteya which is non-stealing. So we need to understand the subtle nuances of this particular Yama. The focus here is to let go of our attachments – attachments to possessions, ideas, to outcomes. It encourages us to not only notice when we are taking or using more than we need but to let go of the attachment of that desire, to live in the moment. So rather than it being about the physical attachment to our possessions it is about the mental exercise of letting go.If you would like to get in touch with me you can do so at my website chakra-way.comMuch loveRosanne xx Hosted on Acast.

In this Yoga Philosophy Chat with Alex & Kristen, they sit down and chat about the practice of Asteya, which is the third of the yamas. Asteya refers to non-stealing.

In this episode we are continuing with our mini series of meditating on the Yamas. These are the foundational ethical principles of Yoga. If you think of yoga as just the physical practice you are missing the other 7 fascinating limbs, branches or spokes of yoga.The Yama we are looking at is Asteya, which translates as "non-stealing". There is the obvious meaning of this but within the strictest interpretation of yogic philosophy this means having more than you need, and taking resources away from others. In our softer interpretation we can see this as accumulating too much "stuff", and succumbing to the programming of society that tells us we need to have all the things to show our success, be happy and prove that we are a suitable mate. In this meditation we ask ourselves if we can begin to let go... of stuff, of attachments and invite in an abundance of the aspects of life that we can never have in excess - love, gratitude, joy, laughter, creativity, peace.Much loveRosanne xx Hosted on Acast.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul. This week I'm talking Yamas and Niyamas. Now obviously I am just skimming the surface with this podcast. The philosophy that holds the foundation of the yoga practice is everything. We cannot hold a “steady comfortable pose” if we are scattered in the mind. If are spewing resentment instead of gratitude. If are not upholding the truth that lives in our own hearts. The (8) Limbs of Yoga are powerful benchmarks that hold me to my truth every single day. The Yamas and the Niyamas spell out the 10 “code of ethics” are valuable for an awakened existence. Yamas are the attitudes towards others and the world around you. Ahimsa or non-violence: Compassion for all living things Satya or truthfulness: Commitment to the truth Asteya or non-stealing: Not taking anything that has not been freely givenBramacharya or non-lust: Merging with the One Aparigraha or non-possessiveness: Non grasping Niyamas are how you treat yourself or your attitude towards yourself. Saucha - cleanliness Santosha - contentment Tapas - burning passion Svadhyaya - study of the sacred text and of one's self Isvarapranidhama - Celebration of the Divine. These principles are the backbone of this practice. Take a listen to learn more!

When you focus on finding the right people, they'll get the right product to the right people.The three pieces of the puzzle in business are customers, investors, and employees. The most critical piece to the puzzle is the employees as they are the link that will make both the customers and the investors happy. Automation and collaboration are the keys to staying efficient in a virtual environment. Determine which tasks are more appropriate for automation and which will be made more efficient through collaboration. The intuitive side of communication is held back in virtual meetings. Without seeing the body language, so much is lost in the message and the probability of being misunderstood becomes higher.

Hadi Radwan is an amateur biohacker, which was a new term for me, and means trying to DIY your own biology. He is a family man, and enjoys playing fantasy sports. He's also a podcaster, and regularly interviews founders on his podcast, the First 100, to learn how those people obtained their first 100 customers. When it comes to family, he just had a newborn, so most of his time is devoted to that.Hadi and his team took a hard look at the the market, and realized that 1 out of 4 people are disabled in their career due to an unforeseen circumstance. Strikingly, 50% of folks are living paycheck to paycheck, and don't even know disability insurance existed. They decided to build a product based on technology that fills this gap.This is the creation story of Asteya.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablSupportZebraLinksWebsite: https://www.asteya.world/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadiradwan/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When we work on investor pitch decks, one of our questions to founders is, "What's your G2M / distribution strategy?" Too often we hear, "Social media", "buying ads", or "SEO". Now, it's not that these channels don't work, it's that it usually requires a ton of upfront capital to even start to figure out what's working and what's not. Capital that you don't have yet, for CAC that won't pay you back for a long time (potentially ever). On top of that, once you do have the keyword or targeting figured out, the platform could change its algorithm overnight, leaving you back at square one. Hadi Radwan's insuretech startup, Asteya, has successfully raised $15 million, processed over $20M in Premiums, and achieved $5M ARR. At the core of their success is a B2B2C distribution flywheel. This model has significantly lower CAC than the aforementioned paths, with higher LTV, and way more control over the outcome. He steps to the mic in this week's episode to share exactly how they've done it. We also learn how his experience from Lebanon, to Boston, to London has shaped his communication style.Find Hadi online:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadiradwan/Find Asteya online:Website: https://www.asteya.world/This episode is sponsored by Miquido - a full-service software development partner that supports companies in building their digital products.
