The following talk was given at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.

Please visit our website at audiodderma.org. Hello and welcome to this last talk on the the the results or the symptoms of non clinging.

Now non-clinging, letting go of clinging, dissolving clinging, having clinging somehow lessen and lessen until maybe it disappears.

These are not easy to do and it can't be done necessarily just to sit down and just let go, let go, like we did in the last meditation.

But as we keep practicing, every time we come back to breathing,

every time we come back to mindfulness,

a moment of clarity of knowing and seeing,

it is a kind of letting go or maybe a different way of saying it is a kind of a kind of way of no longer

Feeding the clinging we have the attachments we have feeding the

attachments we have. And it might not seem very significant,

one moment like that,

but the accumulation of moments of not feeding our clinging, not being involved in our clinging,

has a dramatic results that you can see in highlight if you remember or consider that for many of us we have spent decades with a kind

of thinking that's being propelled by some forms of compulsion, attachment, clinging, wanting, not wanting.

And given that we've done decades of that, the amount of time it takes to begin softening and relaxing is

relatively short even though the process might be imperceptible in the moment

still can happen much faster than the opposite happen.

So as we begin to lessen our attachments,

lessen that drive to be attached, to be clinging, to be repressing, to be resisting,

to be, whatever form the attachment takes.

At some point, something begins shifting within us.

And it's not just a matter of clinging or not clinging, but it's beginning to appreciate something that's growing within us, something a different way of being, a different sensibility.
