In our final session of The Joy of Suffering with Karine, we discuss Yona Nidra, or the fear of change and death. As you can imagine, this is one of the most difficult practices. Karine suggests following along from your bed or the comfiest spot in your home.

After Raga, the attachment to things, we move to DVESHA, the absence of getting what we want. This can lead to anger, rage, and all of the "red" emotions that hinder our personal growth. The first step to healing is understanding. Let's start now.

Karine explains how moving through the 5 sufferings (Ignorance, Ego, Attachments, Hatred, Fear of Change) can open you up to move onto joy.

Raga is extreme attachment to material things. When you attach your identity to a thing or dream too intensely, you forget your vastness. In this DOSE, Karine explores moving you through Raga, paring you down to your true self.

The first cause of suffering we'll explore is AVIDYA, or ignorance of self. What does this mean? It's the error of not understanding how beautiful, precious, worthy, and important your life is, just as you are. This is the mother of all suffering.
