DEFINE IT

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU
Ahimsa - to me means to be loving and patient, to resist unrealistic expectations of perfection
and to forgive with love.
Satya - to me means to pay attention to what is loving and to what is the right thing to say and do to serve the greater good for harmony with love.
Asteya - to me means to be content with what I have and to resist my dissatisfaction with my failures and do not have to compare with anyone else.
Brahmacharya - to me means integrity and to remember integrity and to pay attention to outcomes of actions.
Aparigraha - to me meant to be free from silly desires and wants and to be able to separate happiness from the physical possessions.
HOW CAN YOU APPLY IT TO YOUR DAILY LIFE
The easiest way to answer this question is to quote Don Miguel Ruiz because with the help of the Yamas, I apply this knowledge to be impeccable with my words and to try always to do my best and to not take anything personally and not assume anything, which makes my life much simpler and more peaceful and loving.
