This week Andrew explores the Five Hindrances through the lens of mindfulness, inviting us to see craving, aversion, restlessness, lethargy, and doubt not as failures, but as deeply human experiences that can become gateways to insight and liberation. Drawing on classical Buddhist metaphors, modern everyday examples, and the wisdom of Tuere Sala, Andrew reflects on how these mind states shape our lived experience, how they show up in meditation and daily life, and how learning to stay present with them can lead to clarity, compassion, and trust in the path.

Prompt: What is the most common hindrance in your life?  sense-craving, aversion, restlessness, lethargy, or doubt?
