And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself โ€“ called โ€œdฤnaโ€ โ€“ to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of โ€œself,โ€ and ripples out into the world to touch many people โ€“ and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.ย
