Hindrances in Meditation: Sense Desire (part 2, English)

You sit down to meditate with the best of intentions. Feeling all positive and calm.

Then Sense Desire starts whispering into your ears:

Strawberry ice cream! Aaah! And warm chocolate to dip it into…………

Last time i meditated I had this great opening. It felt so warm and compassionate and open……….. Yes, for sure, this is going to happen again……. this is why I meditate………..and then I will have these great understandings…………and all the wisdom in the world……………….

And Megalomenia! 😉

Here is just about the problem. Sense Desire does not feel bad. It feels great and hence is very seductive.

Here a video on how to recognise and work with Sense Desire.
