SHARING THE TEN QUALITIES PRACTICED IN YOGA.

THIS IS ONE OF THE 8 LIMBS OR PARTS OF YOGA, 

CALLED YAMA:

HERE ARE THE TEN QUALITIES TO BE PRACTICED IF ONE DESIRES THE UNION WITH THE DIVINE FORCE:

AHIMSA (अहिंसा): Nonviolence. Abstinence from injury, harmlessness, the not causing of pain to any living creature in thought, word, or deed at any time. This is the "main" yama. The other nine are there in support of its accomplishment. 

SATYA (सत्य): truthfulness, word and thought in conformity with the facts. 

ASTEYA  (अस्तेय): non-stealing, non-coveting

BRAHMACHARYA (ब्रह्मचर्य): divine conduct, continence, celibate when single, faithful when married

KSHAMA  (क्षमा): patience, releasing time, functioning in the now. 

DHRITI (धृति): steadfastness, overcoming non-perseverance, fear, and indecision; seeing each task through to completion. 

DAYA (दया): compassion; conquering callous, cruel and insensitive feelings toward all beings. 

ARJAVA (अर्जव): honesty, straightforwardness, renouncing deception and wrongdoing. 

MITAHARA (मितहार): moderate appetite, neither eating too much nor too little
