Welcome Maitri (friendliness; loving kindness) into your life, treating yourself, others, the planet and animals with ahimsa (non-harming) – the first Yama and, to reference Trip Levine, the prerequisite for listening to what the Universe has to tell you. A beautiful example of balance – beyond the mat – is the partnership between listening and speaking; observing and acting. Please act with LOVE; and KINDNESS.
