Welcome to episode 4 in this series of chats called “Why Yoga and AI Cannot Co-exist” where I walk us through the eight limbed path of Patañjali, and we develop or deepen our understanding of why AI flies directly in the face of, not only everything the Wellness industry claims to stand for, but more specifically, yoga.
If you are a yoga teacher (and indeed a Wellness professional!), or simply have a keen interest in Wellness, yoga and AI, then this series is for you, diva!
Today we are focusing specifically on brahmacarya, and according to [this] book “By one established in continence, vigor is gained”.
Brahmacarya is made up of two words; “brahma” meaning “absolute” or “God”; and “carya” meaning “to move with” or “remain with”. Thus brahmacarya roughly translates to moderation, or being aligned with creative energy, and continence.
Now traditionally brahmacarya was about moderation with our sexual energy, and I still believe that applies in our modern lives but perhaps our relationship with its meaning differs from person to person.
In relation to GenAI there is no moderation at all, and I share precisely how in today’s episode. Massive thank you to and for sharing their wisdom, which helped me to create this post!! I highly recommend giving both of them a follow if you’re not already!
