Transition States - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 14 min

The transition states drawn from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's work with the dying (status quo, shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing and acceptance) and how recognizing them speeds acceptance of any change. Depression is framed as a sign of approaching acceptance, and surrender as a shift into the right brain.
