What’s YOUR Seva?
Namaste yogis and yoginis-
Blog coordinator Angela, here.
Our recent article by Bekah Finch has got me thinking. It’s no secret to those of us who have been practicing for awhile that yoga transforms us. Often, first it’s our bodies, then we find ourselves being able to let things go a little easier than before. We may change our diets and start examining ourselves further. Our relationships start improving. Sometimes, we find ourselves so transformed that we wake up one day and can hardly believe we used to act in…whatever less-than-pleasant ways.
So, we’re on this journey into ourselves, and, eventually, we find ourselves wanting to give back. But…how?
Karma yoga is the yoga of action in the world. Through this path, practitioners engage in seva, or selfless service—we help others through our unique talents, or find a cause that speaks to us deeply and advocate for it.
So, I’m wondering—what’s YOUR seva? What are you currently doing to make the world a better place, and how did you get started? Feel free to discuss in the comments section, or, better yet contribute an article to this blog (you can reach me via email at dr.angelakolter on gmail).
