“I’ll never be able to meditate, my mind is too distracted!” Does this sound like anyone you know? Perhaps you’ve experienced this type of doubt. Doubt is just one of the classic 5 hindrances to meditation, and it’s overcome with practice.

In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises podcast, advanced meditator, teacher and author Delson Armstrong speaks with Sean Fargo on how to work with distractions and other obstacles that arise during meditation by applying the 6 Rs.

Delson Armstrong is a meditation teacher and author of several Dhamma books, including “A Mind Without Craving.” This deep dive into the principles and practices of early Buddhist meditation is transcribed from a ten-day meditation retreat led by Delson Armstrong himself.

Delson Armstrong joined Sean Fargo as a guest teacher in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program. This unique, self-paced certification program is internationally accredited and accessible entirely online. Students receive weekly live, in-person mentorship from Sean Fargo and his team. They are joined by the world’s most respected voices in mindfulness and meditation who present on a wide range of topics.
