Toward Light: Practical Buddhism for the Modern World
A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The five hindrances, greed, aversion, sloth/torpor, restlessness/worry, and doubt, can be understood through the use of similes that are present in the teachings of the Buddha. There are also some antidotes to the hinderances, and I discuss how to implement them.
