Yoga knew it long ago that even today we would be a slave to our “self”. In fact, our ties to our “self” are seemingly stronger than ever. Our negative thought patterns that harm our soul, the lies that we tell ourselves, our need to take, our tendencies to over indulge and our attachments to external objects and feelings. All of which have the habit of taking control of our life and actions, leaving us to be a slave to our senses and challenged on our pathway. It may take a lifetime of practice to break free, but through understanding and application of the yamas, we can better navigate our way through life. We can use these tools and practices to get a better sense of control and direction to where it is we want to go.
