user10831: I am reading A Critical Analysis Of The Jhanas
In the book we were going over wise considration and how it will help you eliminate the hindrances. But i am having trouble understand what this is referring to. Any help would be appreciated.

In the commentaries the Buddha’s miscellaneous suggestions on the elimination of the 
  hindrances are organized into a systematic exposition of six measures conducive to the 
  vanquishing of each hindrance. Sensual desire is to be abandoned by: 
Taking up the sensuously inauspicious subject of meditation; application for 
  the development of the jhāna on the sensuously inauspicious subject of 
  meditation; the guarded state of the controlling faculties of sense; moderation 
  in food; the sympathy and support of good men in the endeavour; stimulating 
  talk that helps the accomplishment of the object in view 

What are they referring to i don't understand the wording?

user8157: Refer to: The Five Mental Hindrances and Their Conquest

Six things are conducive to the abandonment of sensual desire:
1. Learning how to meditate on impure objects;
2. Devoting oneself to the meditation on the impure;
3. Guarding the sense doors;
4. Moderation in eating;
5. Noble friendship;
6. Suitable conversation.
