E109 Finding Inner Peace through The Ancient Wisdom of Ahimsa
In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie explores the foundational yogic principle of Ahimsa — the practice of nonviolence — and why cultivating inner balance is essential for living a compassionate, purposeful life.After taking a much-needed pause last week (and walking her talk), Katie opens up about feeling out of balance and the powerful reminder that busyness does not equal worthiness. She shares how this cultural myth often disconnects us from our bodies, our emotions, and our spiritual center — leaving us feeling exhausted and empty.You’ll learn:Why yoga is more than poses — it’s a system rooted in ethical and spiritual guidelines known as the Yamas and NiyamasHow Ahimsa (nonviolence) is about more than avoiding harm — it’s about choosing kindness, compassion, and balanceThe hidden ways we cause harm to ourselves and others through thoughts, words, and actionsWhy balance is the foundation of peace, and how the inner world shapes the outer worldHow to begin restoring balance by listening to your body, setting boundaries, and reframing disempowering situationsKatie invites you to reflect:✨ What does balance look like for you?✨ Where are you being called to soften, slow down, or say no?“The universe rearranges itself to match your inner vibration.” — Panache Desai📧 Subscribe to the Newsletter for Soulful Insights
