Working with the five hindrances, working with these mind states of the five hindrances, can help increase feelings of well-being as well as skillful action in the world.
Ever feel like your mind is working against you in your recovery journey? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch dives into the concept of the five hindrances, teachings from Buddha that highlight mental states blocking our path to peace. These hindrances—sensory desire, anger, restlessness, sloth, and doubt—aren't just obstacles in meditation but also in everyday life and addiction recovery.
Matt reads from 'Mindfulness and the Five Hindrances to (Inner) Peace' and breaks down how recognizing these mental barriers can be a game-changer in your journey to sobriety. He offers practical tools like the RAIN method and loving-kindness meditation to help you work through these challenges. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their mental landscape and practical steps to enhance their recovery journey.
