Martha Beck: “It’s the emotional quality of grasping, clutching and needing that bespeaks an underlying expectation of loss and deprivation and causes us to create nightmares in the world of form.”

“Desire without grasping is joyful and playful. Hunger makes food more satisfying; its forcing ourselves to deny our hunger that will eventually make us ravenous and insatiable.”

“As you drop your mental stories and watch your feelings, you’ll notice that the gripping desperation of attachment is something you can release.”

“As you gain skill, you’ll be able to want things very intensely, or abhor atrocities, or feel extreme signals to get the hell out of danger, without being graspingly attached to any of those emotions.”

Lately, I have had to use Ho’oponopono intensely plus Shamanism and tapping exercises to deal with irritating noise from the residents of the unit above ours – usually after midnight.

As in the video about an eagle fighting with a snake, I have had to go deep inside me. Solutions will have to come from me: not from the residents upstairs (as if they care at all!), not from the condo management, not from the security guards.

As Michael Tamura said: “You are the answer”.
Somebody using the Tapping exercises wrote: change will come from herself.
