The yamas of the Eightfold Path are guidelines for spiritual growth. As we discover and abide in our true self, the soul’s qualities naturally express through us. Each of the five yamas (positive character traits) already exist within us.
As we abide in the soul, its qualities naturally express in our life. The first yama is ahimsa, harmlessness. When you enjoy soul contact, you feel awe and wonder at the beautiful life force and consciousness within you. You realize how precious your life is and recognize the lives of others are equally magnificent.
As a result of sensing the sacredness of the soul, you don’t wish to harm anyone. Through soul contact you gain a great sense of love for people. You then naturally and gratefully treasure your own life and honor the lives of others.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
