Mindfulness With The Hindrances

In this guided meditation, Matthew leads the practitioner through mindfulness of the hindrances using Bhikkhu Analayo's method of Satipatthana practice. The meditation begins with establishing embodied mindfulness and then moves into attention toward the presence or absence of mindfulness, and the presence or absence of the hindrances of desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restless and worry, and doubt.

In Bhikkhu Analayo's method, the four foundations of mindfulness are consolidated into seven primary contemplations that constitute the "Wheel of Satipatthana". This guided meditation is Matthew's interpretation of the sicthof the seven: mindfulness of the dharmas - hindrances.
