We can waist lots of time, doing the same things over and over again in meditation, if we don’t sometimes pull back and look at what we are doing. Sometimes analysis is important, and for example using the framework of the five hindrances that stops our development. In this talk the focus is the hindrances of sensory desire, ill will, sloth and torpor, restlessness and remorse and doubt. So next time you feel stuck in meditation – have a look at these five hindrances.

We had more than 50 registered for the Venabu retreat in the spring of 2025, and since spring came early and Venabu was free of snow, there was also the opportunity for a trip and practice out in nature. You can also find the teaching here.
