In this session, Ajahn Kovilo speaks about what to do when it seems like you've reached a wall in practice or in life. He specifically touches on six psycho-physical meditational movements for freedom found in the definition of the Third Noble Truth – the Cessation of Dukkha and mirrored in the framework of Loch Kelly's "Shift Into Freedom":


(1) virāga - fading away - unhooking


(2) nirodha - cessation - dropping


(3) cāga - relinquishment - opening


(4) paṭinissagga - letting go - seeing


(5) mutti - release - include


(6) anālaya - without attachment - letting be.
