Hindrance 1 - Sensual Desire

The first hindrance is called “sensual desire.” Sensual desire arises in the moment when we are paying attention to something that is giving us a positive emotion. This positive emotion can originate from five gates of our body: Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or feeling. So in our mind, we climb up that mountain. After one mile of walking, we discover a beautiful restaurant surrounded by beautiful people. We smell delicious food and the great variety of beverages.
