BHNN Guest Podcast – Ep. 223 – The Hindrances with Buddhist Teacher Trudy Goodman

In this episode, Trudy explores the five Buddhist hindrances—desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restlessness, and doubt—as gateways to mindfulness rather than obstacles. She reflects on how craving pulls us from presence, how our senses can bring us back, and how even aversion can hold kindness. Through walking meditation and gentle curiosity, Trudy invites us to meet our emotions with awareness, uncover the roots of restlessness and doubt, and live each moment fully and awake.
