In-Person: Obstacles to Practice – Exploring the Five Hindrances
New York Insight Meditation Center 115 West 29th Street, 12th floor, New Yorkwith Elaine Retholtz
Wednesdays July 10th - August 7th, 2024 from 9:30am - 11:30am ETWhile we may come to meditation hoping to experience calmness of mind, as we practice, we find that we are visited by “guests” such as desire, ill will, restlessness and worry, sleepiness, and doubt. These are the energies of the “Five Hindrances”. This course will offer an opportunity to explore how to practice with and understand these energies in our formal meditation practice as well as in our daily lives so that they can be skillfully abandoned.
