Right speech

Often we close yoga classes with considering peaceful thought, peaceful and truthful words, and peaceful, compassionate, and just action. I thought I would share the Buddhist tradition of "right speech" (principles that are a part of all world religions if you think about it). When speaking, consider if your words are given:

at the right time
with compassion
are truthful
have benefit
and are spoken from a place of goodwill

It can be easy to fall into habits of using our words for gossip, criticism, judgment, and put downs, especially when we are feeling fearful or threatened in some way. Just for today, see if you can speak gently and from a place of good will in all your interactions.

Namaste!
