073 Abhinivesha (5 Kleshas)

Thoughts? Questions? Feel free to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you :-)In this episode, we tackle abhinivesha — the deepest and most primal of the five kleshas — and it might well be the one that hits hardest. This is the klesha of clinging to life (or the existence of something), the white-knuckle grip we have on things staying exactly as they are. From the mild discomfort of ageing to the worry of something ending/dying before you were ready, abhinivesha is the hum beneath most of our anxieties. We explore why nobody is immune to it (the ancient texts are very clear on this), what it actually means to loosen the grip, and why facing this one — gently, with curiosity — might just be the most liberating thing you do all year. Buckle up, it's a big one.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.
