When it comes to money, most of us feel as though there will never be enough. And when we feel like there’s not enough, our self-protective instincts can quash the generous impulses we may have.
By cultivating generosity when we least feel like it, we are forced to confront our underlying feelings of scarcity and to question their validity, which often allows us to see alternative possibilities. Giving can reverse the message of scarcity that we’re telling ourselves; as we share our good fortune, we start realizing that there’s more than enough. This shift in consciousness helps us feel more fulfilled. And when we’re content, we’re less likely to try to feel better. When I’m in Warrior Pose and straining, I relax into and open to the strain instead of moving away from it. When giving feels difficult, your savior is generosity. It’s the act of giving that matters, not the size of the gift. If giving any amount of money feels like a hardship, start by giving something else. The point is not what you give or how much you give, but simply that you give.
How can you create a sense of peace?
Practice inversions
Just as shoulderstand shifts the flow the body so we need to invert money in our lives to bring about financial vitality.
Cultivate balance
If you can’t donate your money donate your time to a good cause. It’s all about the good karma.
Happy Holiday
Spend your time on holiday contributing to a good cause. Why not try out giving your time to a charity Wildlife Park that we visited in Bolivia – Inta Warri Yassa.
