Intro
The five hindrances, when met with curiosity, can deepen—rather than disturb—your practice.
Meditation
Remain with what feels difficult, thereby building your ability to respond instead of react.
Preview
Observe pleasant and unpleasant sensations—and the impulse to grasp or resist them.
Notice the urge to alter experience. Notice the feeling of pressure. Notice it pass all by itself.
Meet resistance and dislike with ease, and with kindness for both yourself and others.
When tired, create your own energy: Sit upright; open your eyes; breathe deeply; stand up.
“You, like the tree, can be steady. Allow the winds of restlessness to move through.”
Recall what practice has already given you. Then recommit without demanding future results.
