Samantha,

 

I don't recall 5 distractions specifically. This was a 2 day retreat

on opening the heart. We were asked in each 45 min meditation set to

focus on one thing, for example: our breath, our thoughts as they

arise, physical sensations as they clamor for our attention, &

feelings, noticing where emotions appear in our bodies. We also did

walking and eating meditation.

 

We were told that while sleeping is a very good, necessary and

wonderful thing to do it is NOT the same thing as meditating so we

should please sit up straight!

 

I'd guess that outside noises might be considered a significant

distraction along with our thoughts, physical discomfort and

sleepiness.
