Tapas means “to be without”. Not in a way that does harm. Similar to the idea of Lent, or the ideas put forward by the Stoics. If you can get used to periods of very little, then they lose their ability to create anxiety. You know you can cope. It gives you a firm foundation from which to build. One way to imagine this is as the opposite of a holiday. If you spent two weeks a year, or a day a month very simply. Coming back to normal feels like a treat. In the opposite way, things we really enjoy can lose their edge if they become something we are used to. The Financial Freedom built through the practice of Financial Yoga is not about a path to more in a conspicuous sense. It is partly reducing the power of Financial Waves to induce fear, by conquering some of those fears directly.
