Master Shi Heng Yi – 5 Hindrances to Self-mastery

5 Hindrances to Self-Mastery

1. Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted?
2. Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion?
3. Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated?
4. Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought?
5. Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive?

Rain (is the solution)
Recognise which one you’re experiencing
Accept that’s what you’re experiencing
Investigate why you’re experiencing it
Non-identify with that experience: ‘i am not the body, i am not the mind, i am not my emotion’
