Countering Restlessness And Worry

This presentation by Lezlie Laws continues a series of talks reviewing the elements of the Satipatthana Sutta, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Discourse.  Restlessness and Worry, commonly known as one of the Five Hindrances, has two characteristics: restlessness, a felt sense of scattered, agitated attention, and worry, the story that accompanies the agitation, seeming to justify and make the hindrance stronger and more controlling of attention.  Lezlie offers suggestions for setting this hindrance aside, cultivating a more serene and open-minded flow of consciousness.
