People can increase their hasina through contact with ancestors in their collective tombs and with a hierarchy of sacred places. So, beneath an apparent geography of Imerina, one may discern a geography of hasina which can be analysed with the concepts of a geography of energy. The Merina dynasty centralized this system to its benefit. Its conversion to Christianity (namely the hasina of Europeans) deeply disturbed this system which experienced periodic attempts of reorganization in times of social and economic crisis, as happens today.
