Difficult emotions such as worry, regret, and frustration can often surface during meditation, making it challenging to focus. In early Buddhism, these emotions were regarded as hindrances that could deter individuals from pursuing meditation practice. Acknowledging this perspective is vital as it allows practitioners to recognize that encountering these feelings is a common obstacle. However, instead of avoiding these emotions, tools are available to help manage them, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself during meditation.
