🎙 Episode 125: Loss as Portal, Loss as Guide
In this episode of Seeing Through Yogic Eyes, I explore how yogic philosophy and how practice can support us when we face loss. Drawing on Patañjali’s teaching on the kleśa of abhiniveśa (the instinctual fear of death), I reflect on how grief and loss, though painful, can also act as powerful portals for growth.
You’ll hear about:
🌿 What the Yoga Sutra and commentators say about abhiniveśa
🌿 Why grief can’t be bypassed and why it needs to be felt fully
🌿 How curiosity becomes a key to relief amidst loss
🌿 Yogic insight on loss as a portal to new vision and strength
🌿 A short guided Luminous Soul Reflection to help you meet your own experience of loss with awareness
