Yin Meditation: Relaxing Within the Hindrances (Episode 16)




Everyday Sublime show

Summary: In contrast to more active and Yang ways of working with the hindrances, I ve found it incredibly fruitful to adopt a more Yin approach. Rather than deploying any prescribed technique or strategy for dealing with them, I ve found that bringing a relaxed, receptive, tolerant, and curious energy towards the hindrances is a really good first step. These qualities reframe the energy that my mind tends to have in approaching each hindrance. I m not so much in attack mode any longer. I m a bit softer and friendlier, encouraging a broader exploration of their energy.
