WEEK 1
SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE
(Limb of Yoga: Yamas)
THIS PART OF THE JOURNEY
Royal Yoga begins by improving the social life you lead. Your interaction with other people reflects a lot about you. Inner forces are made visible, and it is these inner forces that dictate what happens to your social self, the self you show the world.
Very few people look at the reflections life gives them and see what they’d like to see. Even the people closest to us don’t respond to us without adding their own slant—their own opinions, expectations, and beliefs—to what we say or do. We’ll begin the journey of Royal Yoga by untangling the mixed reflections our social self is creating, because that’s the only way to change how we relate to others and how they respond to us. We have a choice: Our social self can be radiant with light and lightness, or it can simply be an outer shell, created to serve our ego and burnish our self-image.
In short, Week 1 is about the story we are living and how to create a better story, one that reflects the levels of the self that are closer to our source.
MONDAY
Upgrading Your Story
Begin by silently repeating today’s theme:
I create the peace that surrounds me.
I create the peace that surrounds me.
If your life story has been perfect up to now, there is no need to turn to Yoga to improve upon perfection. Everyone’s personal story is created out of light and shadow. We defend ourselves against pain, which makes us fearful of the future, and against the past, which brings back painful moments. These self-imposed restraints are the focus of the first limb of Yoga, which Patanjali calls yamas, often translated to mean “guidelines” or “rules of conduct.”
Note: I will make passing reference to Patanjali and his definitive work, the Yoga Sutras, but keep in mind that the traditional terminology isn’t critical—only results are critical.
When you are aware of the self-imposed constraints you have placed on yourself, you can upgrade your story. As you progress limb to limb in Royal Yoga, the time will come when all stories you have bought into will melt away. But it is also true that you can’t find the light when you are the one blocking it, and that’s what unhappy stories do.
An upgraded story is easier to enjoy and therefore easier to escape from when the time comes. That’s not a mystical statement. If you have a happy childhood, it is much easier to leave it behind than an unhappy childhood, which keeps returning to block future happiness.
Every spiritual tradition describes “right living” as an important goal, and Yoga agrees. The yamas, however, are not a series of ethical teachings. Right living in Yoga means “bringing in the light of awareness to decrease the things that block fulfillment.” The five yamas, as interpreted for modern life, are the major keys to right living:
1. Treating everyone with peace and nonviolence.
2. Acting and speaking your own truth.
3. Acting unselfishly, without envy, greed, or covetousness.
4. Radiating a presence of purity and innocence.
5. Acting with self-reliance, neither clinging nor creating dependence in others.
Today is about the first yama, which asks you to live in peace with others. The goal is to relate peacefully with everyone. That is the first and most basic upgrade to your story.
Yoga’s call for nonviolence is frequently misunderstood because people think they aren’t spiritual unless they experience serenity and the peace that surpasses understanding. With that expectation in mind, they wind up patiently holding back their anger, even when it is justified, pretending to be more at peace than they really are, and feeling guilty about getting into arguments and engaging in conflict.
Inner peace is a wonderful state, but let’s be clear: Our journey hasn’t gotten there yet. The first limb of Yoga is about social tactics—using your intelligence to bring more light and lightness into the story you are now living.
The tactics for creating a peaceful life are available to everyone, as follows:
THE PRACTICES OF PEACE
Don’t create stress for yourself and others.
Look for areas of agreement instead of areas of discord.
Take responsibility for your own anger and resentment. Don’t unleash them on other people.
Get out of the habit of blaming others.
Be aware of your impulse to judge, criticize, and get offended. Don’t indulge in the impulse whenever possible.
Distance yourself from hostile people and hostile situations.
If you adopt these practices, you won’t be leading a saintly life. You will have succeeded in right living, however, which, at this stage is a huge step in your evolution.
Exercise
Take time to look over the practices of peace listed above, and honestly ask yourself how well you are practicing them. Social intelligence is a skill, and, like all skills, it can be learned. Learning doesn’t come all at once but in pieces, so take a single strategy from the list, and set your own learning curve. Anger is a good one to begin with, because, along with fear, it is one of the two basic negative emotions.
Yama asks you to be responsible for your anger, not to pass it along, unleash it on the unwary, or channel it as blame toward another. To make practical use of this yama, start following right tactics.
When you feel yourself getting angry, pause and stop at the first sign that you are losing your temper.
Be with the impulse.
Sit in your awareness for just a moment.
Pausing to be aware is a powerful way to defuse any self-defeating behavior. If after pausing your anger comes out anyway, you have still made a start. When you are calmer, ask if your outburst made the situation better. If you can see clearly that it didn’t—it probably made the situation worse—you have taken another step toward inner awareness.
Yoga teaches that all your behaviors are subject to your control. If you want the practices of peace to bring p
