#63 The Kleshas, Part 5: Contemplating Abhinivesha Guided Practice


Listen Later

Text me your feedback.

In the last practice in our series on the kleshas (hindrances) Annie masterfully guides you through a contemplation of abhinivesha. Often translated as "fear of death," it can also mean "will to live." But it's the flavor of fear of abhinivesha, compounded by other kleshas such as raga (attachment) and dvesha (aversion), that abhinivesha creates so much suffering. In this gentle practice, you'll connect with the cyclical quality of the breath as a signifier of the give and take of life.

For repeat listens the meditation starts at 4:01. If your player supports chapter markings, you can skip ahead.
