The 29-Day Giving Challenge originated as an African ritual, I suspect created for the Western world. Many of us have little concept of scarcity as known in many African countries. However, even when we have so much, we can still live in the scarcity of not having enough or being enough. This message is received in the Western world on a daily basis.

Giving of any kind... taking an action... begins the process of change, and moves us to remember that we are part of a much greater universe.

Try this: What if you were to give away something that you felt you could never part with? I would love to hear about that experience. It is the first teaching in non attachment. Enjoy your ritual.
