THE TANTRIC YAMAS & NIYAMAS: DANA

Tithe and donate to temples, ashrams and spiritual organisations. Feed and give to those in need. Freely share your time and talents. Treat guests as God.

This is what the Himalayan Institute describes DANA as. For me, I like to go a little bit deeper in order to help ourselves find an understanding of how we create the space within ourselves to then have the capacity to give.

Every thing is available to us all the time, all emotions feelings sensations. We create our reality depending on what we focus on, so how can we create the opportunity for us to be able to give?

For me, I feel generous when I feel full of life, free and clear. When there is unresolved ‘stuff’ and cloudiness in the way, it makes it challenging to operate on a day to day basis let alone have the capacity to give.

With our Sun or Solar practices we are able bring in prana and energy. With attention to detail and awareness present we can not only cultivate energy, but good quality or purified prana to operate on and give.

It feels so fulfilling to be generous, to help when we can. The clearer we are, the more we can make each and every situation a win win for everyone.

We hope to see you in the studio this week.
