070 Asmita (5 Kleshas)

Thoughts? Questions? Feel free to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you :-)In this week's podcast we discuss Asmita, the second of the five Kleshas. Often translated as ego, and arguably the subtlest troublemaker of the bunch, it's the deeply human habit of confusing who we truly are with the roles, labels and stories we've collected along the way — the job title, the personality type, the identity we defend a little too fiercely in an argument. The ancient yogis saw it clearly thousands of years ago, and as we'll discover, it's just as alive and kicking today, and how Asmita quietly runs the show — and what we can do about it.Emma and Andy try to keep their podcasts light-hearted and unedited, wherever possible, allowing for a more natural conversation style and an authentic representation of their characters. They aim to provide information and entertainment by mixing their knowledge, research and personal experiences with debate and (occasional) opposing view points.  :-)If you would like more information about Emma and Andy or Learn Live Give and what they are trying to achieve, please go to www.learnlivegive.co.uk for more information. Also, please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or queries, thoughts or feedback on our podcasts. We'd love to hear from you.
