Part-10.
The five hindrances are
mind-states that often appear when awareness comes close to something painful
or powerful in the psyche. They could be called “five signs of breakthrough.”
The five hindrances continued
Desire
Recognize it in your mind as
wanting, expecting, or a sense that something is missing. Notice what triggers
the sense that what you are experiencing is not good enough, that something
more should be happening. Notice any sense of "rushing" to the next
thing. Be aware of the feeling of contraction in the body and mind when you are
in the grip of this force. Also notice the relief when there is no wanting.
Aversion
Understand that all the
different kinds of aversion are simply responses to an unpleasant feeling.
Examples of aversion are: anger, fear, judgment, irritation, and boredom.
Don't judge yourself for
aversion; this only adds more aversion on top of what's there already.
Investigate the aversion. Open
up to it. Greet it with loving kindness, which is its opposite.
See what lies underneath it.
Often a feeling of being hurt or of righteous indignation underlies anger. When
that underlying feeling is acknowledged, the anger often subsides by itself.
Sloth and torpor (sleepiness,
dullness, lethargy)
There are three basic kinds of
sleepiness.
First, our modern body and
mind understand lack of external stimulation as a signal that it is time to go
to sleep. With time we learn to be alert in a silent setting.
Second, many of us have a lot
of accumulated tiredness. In this case, rest and then come to the formal
meditations with more lightness.
Third, sleep that comes as an
avoidance is worth shaking off.
To rouse energy: open your
eyes, stand, take deeper in-breaths, do more walking meditation. ~ Investigate!
What does sleepiness actually feel like? Can we learn to be present with it
simply as a body sensation? Pay careful, close attention and use precise mental
noting. Don't let sleepiness keep you from being awake and alert. Greet it with
energy and see if it lasts.
