The Five Hindrances with Noah Levine

The promise of Buddhism is that it is possible to not suffer about the pain and difficulties in our life. What hinders your ability to not suffer? The buddha gave a list of the 5 hindrances: 1. Craving for pleasure 2. Aversion to pain 3. Restlessness, anxiousness, and impatience 4. Laziness and procrastination 5. Self-doubt and unworthiness Mindfulness allows us to slow down and name these hindrances without allowing them to overtake us and cause us suffering.
