Asteya (Non-Stealing) – November 2022 Challenge

Doing our 30 Day Challenge? Click here for today’s post!

Happy Friday Yogis! We are staying sync-ed up with our 30 Day Challenge group, and today is Asteya or Non-Stealing Day. Last time we practiced the positive version of the third of the YamasAsteya / non-stealing with an act of generosity, but today we will take it a step further and examine non-stealing.

Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is to actively practice Asteya / non-stealing. Or, with our Yamas / Interpersonal Ethics focused December coming up, you may want to focus on practicing generosity for today’s Asteya practice and take advantage of Black Friday Deals to prep for holiday charitable causes like Angel Tree and Toys for Tots drives.

Need ideas for how to practice non-stealing?

This is going to be similar to our Satya practice from yesterday, and we should reflect on areas of our life where we may be acting a bit selfishly or taking advantage of a situation. If you are taking a lot of assistance or time from a particular person but not giving much in return, reflect on that and consider how you can make the situation more fair. Or, examine a situation where you have been taking more than giving, express gratitude, and see how you can make things more balanced and take better care of those who take care of you. Examine areas where you can focus a bit more Asteya, and express that however it feels right to you.
