4) LazinessLaziness often effect practitioners in the beginning.
5) Sleep during meditation Some times practitioners get into sleep during meditation in initial stages.
6) HealthSometime practitioners do not do exercises and does not realize that physical body is the vehicle for attaining the truth and can be attained by strong body or some time practitioners torture the body by not taking medicine at the time of illness.
7) OvereatingPractice of overeating leads to heaviness and results into sleep during the meditation.
8) FoodThe kind of food we eat directly affect our mind apart from our body. If we eat food which is Tamasic food or Rajasic for example food with lot of chilies, or eating quickly or bitter or stale, all these kind of food leads to obstruction in the practice of meditation because of its nature.
