My first yoga class for kids and adults we went around the room creating a story together. The theme for the story was 'samadhi' or non-harming. Each person in the circle contributed a word or a phrase to the story.
Each time the story came to one little boy, he added '...and died.' Another animal in the story died a non-violent death. The adults chuckled at the death in our non-harming story. The third time the story came to this little boy he paused, and we waited expectantly to see which character in the story would meet an untimely death. Instead he added '...and they turned into frogs!'
I thought...ah, progress towards samadhi! And it's just his first class!
