Welcome to episode 17 of the Life Right Here podcast - we’re circling back today to the topic of Minimising Suffering and this is Part 2. I don’t know how many episodes there’ll be on this - there’s so much in it. But we’ll keep coming back every few episodes just to keep momentum going but also to break it up a bit.
I want to focus today on Samskara duhkha - as in my experience this type of suffering is particularly insidious and difficult to eradicate because the patterns of our mental field are built up over long periods of time without us even being aware of them. And also because I have felt my own samskaras - my habitual patterns of thinking resurfacing again recently and I’ve had to take a closer look.
This episode discusses one of the afflictions of the mind (kleshas) as described in the Yoga tradition - abhinivesha - fear of loss.
I'd love to know your reflections and what came up for you in thinking about how fear is playing out in your life right now.
As mentioned at the start of the episode I have 2 spots opening in January for 1:1 coaching in my program The Life Right Here. Check out details here on my website and message me on Instagram or email me here to have a chat about whether coaching is right for you. It's the perfect way to support yourself as you move into 2023.
Blessings for a beautiful week.
