Developing a Practice

Yogas chitta-vritti-nirodhah

Chitta is all the stuff of the mind, intellect, and ego. Our awareness. Our anxiety. Our identity. Our conscious, subconscious, and dreams. The stuff that has soaked deep to form the way we see the world, and see each other. Vrittis are thought waves. “This too will pass”, but the danger is when we absorb the waves, and identify them. When we think we are the storms, winds, and rains of challenges that seem to attack us relentlessly. Money Anxiety comes in this form. Fear of where it will come from. Fear of where it will go. Fear of the aftermath it will leave. Once understood, it is possible to develop a practice to control the financial waves. Working with them rather than fighting. Eventually finding nirodhah (stillness). Financial Yoga is developing a practice to still the waves of money anxiety.
