Over Muddy Waters

“Abhyasa vairagyabhyam tan nirodhah” Yoga Sutras

Control of thought waves is brought about by practice and non-attachment.

Abhyasa means practice. You can develop a practice to gradually separate your financial decision making from the constraints of supply and demand. Not all good ideas are good business ideas. Money anxiety is all about barriers to entry and barriers to exit. About containers that can control the solving of problems. Developing a practice recognising “I am not this. I am not that”, gets closer to what is worth identifying with. You are not your job. Vairagya is non-attachment. We can get caught in the web of being what we do. Being attached to how we earn money. It is possible to gradually reduce our reliance on our earning ability. To move beyond being a productive asset. To move beyond hand-to-mouth living where the action of our hands becomes our complete focus. To still the power of waves of money anxiety.
