I just took the vow for non violence in thought, speech and action at www.itakethevow.com. What a powerful reminder to hold this awareness in my heart and ask myself if I am being as compassionate with myself and others as possible in each moment. How often do we go about being “spiritual” in blasts…a workshop here, a book there? In the USA, this usually means approaching the subject matter from an intellectual or mental space which doesn’t have a lasting effect. However, it seems to me that this single step, this vow, can expand infinitely and bring about real change at the level of the heart. ..over laying and dismantling years of negative messages that most of us have been immersed in from birth. Holding this vow in my heart and using it as a gauge and blueprint of my interactions and relationships…with myself and others…internal and external.
