Meeting the five hindrances

The itch to check your phone, the heavy afternoon fog, irritation at a noise, the quiet voice asking 'what's the point?' None of this proves you're undisciplined. These are old habits of a mind that feels uncomfortable. Greet them by name, offer them a chair, and let them pass.
