Agitation to Serenity with Western nun (video)
From Agitation to Serenity with Ayyā Vimalañāṇi
(Buddhist Insights) One of the most common obstacles we encounter during sitting meditation practice is "restlessness" (flurry and worry, uddhacca/kukkucca), one of the Five Mental Hindrances. The Western Theravada Buddhist nun Ayyā Vimalañāṇi (Thabarwa saylayship in Malaysia and full bhikkhuniordination in Australia with Ajahn Brahm) offers advice on how to counteract agitation and bring our minds/hearts to a state of serenity and peace.
