Ajahn Dhammasiha reflects on skilfull means to overcome the 5 hindrances (Pañca Nīvaraṇā).

It is exactly these 5 obstructions which stop our mind from unifying in samādhi, and weaken our wisdom:

Sensual desire (kāmacchanda)

Ill Will / Anger / Aversion (byāpāda)

Laziness / Tiredness / Sloth & Torpor / Lack of energy (thīna-middha)

Restlessness & remorse (uddhacca-kukkucca)

Doubt / Wavering / Vacillation (vicikicchā)
