Five Hindrances 4: Restlessness & Worry

When your mind won’t sit still, it can feel like you’re trapped in a late-night loop of “what if.” This talk on the fourth hindrance looks at restlessness and worry as old mind stuck in flight mode, not a personal failure. We’ll use slow 4–2–6 breathing, simple sense-based grounding, and a one-line “worry capture” practice to step out of the spiral and back into the room. Street Dharma for the nights when everything is quiet outside, but your thoughts are still loud.
