Gil Fronsdal: Letting Go

so good evening everyone and is it loud enough maybe a little bit louder let's see so seem okay now okay so I would like to discuss a very important topic for Buddhist practice and that is that of letting go and sometimes that's a specialty of at least a theme for Buddhist teachers whether it's a special theme of what we can do that's another topic but it's a beautiful idea beautiful movement of the mind beautiful practice to let go but it needs to be done wisely and so I want to talk a few different aspects of this topic of letting go so you appreciate it more and and and a little bit by talking about what do you do if you can't let go and if you feel like you want to let go or should let go what do you do then so sometimes there's confusion around this topic of letting go if what people understand is that letting go is to letting go of something so you know if I cling to this glass of water that I'm drinking and you tell me to let go of it and I think I'm supposed to let go of the glass it would be a mess here if I drop it but that's kind of saying that it's the problem it kind of implies the problem is with the glass what I'm supposed to let go of is the clinging I have to the glass of water I don't let go of the glass of water I can still use it but I can let go the clinging tune the grasping onto it the clutching it and so and when we hear this idea of letting go some people think well oh no I'm I don't want to let go of things I don't have much to begin with or what's wrong with these things and it's not necessarily with the wrong with the things but where the suffering comes is when we clutch onto it or grip it tight and that tight grip which by the which the mind holds on to their ideas to the mind holds on to things that hurts in itself and it's very limiting it limits our abilities to be wise that limits our ability to see to maneuver freely in the world it's a real constriction and and so the movement of letting go is like over there clinging and why that is important is that even good things can be clung to healthy things can be clung to and you're not necessarily necessarily supposed to let go of the healthy things the good things but it's possible like oh they're clinging to them so that distinction is very important and so you know you're supposed to you know and people might look at certain Buddhist teachings and say I'm supposed to let go of all my money and you know I'm supposed to live in a life of poverty like the monks with the monastics and maybe that's right for you I'm not going to say it isn't but what you were asked to do is like oh they're clinging do we have towards wealth property and things how much you know I'm clinging to my partner you know you know I'm supposed to let go by partner now this letting go don't let go of your partner unless it's unhealthy but let go of the clinging to the partner and some people have trouble with that idea but the clinging to the partner is where the suffering can come and then we're doing on the flexibility to change with the changing nature of the relationship we can't be fluid with it or it's hard for their partner to be gone for a long time because we're holding on tight to security or to affirmations or all kinds of things that the relationship means so to begin releasing the grip and the mind Montera li mean we abandon the things of the world or the people of the world but we are abandoning the way in which we're holding on to them and gripping them and so that's one important distinction to make the other is that the idea of letting go by itself can seem like a form of deprivation like I just want to let go and I have nothing then you know nothing you know it's just like or just no there's no imagination there's no ya know or no sense of what follows letting go why should you know I understand the letting go of clinging is good but if I let go then there's you know it's blank and I'm scared of blank I'm scared of nothing I'm scared of not having these things that I have I'll have nothing I'll be destitute but the the corollary to letting go that there I think it really helps the movement of letting go and helps us understand why it's helpful is that we let go in we can let go and then we can as we do that let go into something so if you let go of if you let go of anxiety then you can let go let go into the resulting piece the ease that's there if you let go of needing of conceit you can let go into a sense of maybe inner well-being that's there that doesn't need anything or you let go into you know so you let go of your thoughts and meditation you know if you just let go of your thinking and meditation then you know you're kind of left with nothing you know use the blank kind of but the opportunity when you let go of your thoughts is to let go into the resulting calm of the mind or let go into a subtleness or a calm in the body or settling into the body so it isn't just a matter of letting go but it's also what you can gain by letting go and this letting go into I liken to if you're holding on to the diving board in the pool and then you let go of the board you let go into the refreshing water hopefully it's refreshing and so so there's a kind of a positive reinforcement for letting go because of the goodness that's gained and the the more we have a sense that there's something good here to let go into there's something you know there's there's a sense of contentment well-being peace wisdom non agitation there is maybe Kakui access to states of friendliness kindness love compassion generosity so all kinds of things can live within us that are there and if we can let go into them then the whole idea of letting go is much more appealing and it isn't just a matter of deprivation we're letting the left button you know rather than being left with nothing we're left with something and so the other thing to think about with letting go is that it's something we train ourselves to do for some people most of us can spend a good part of a lifetime sometimes decades reinforcing certain tendencies and the things that we do over and over again become stronger they become habits they become grooves that the the muscles of getting engaged with those those things are gotten stronger and stronger so if you--if letting go has hanging on clinging has become the predominant movement of the mind we're always clinging and wanting and hanging on to things and you can see that sometimes just in the nature of our thinking how much wanting there can be sometimes in thoughts if you get a sense of that and then take kind of calculate how many seconds of clinging you've done over the last 20 or 30 years compared to the total number of seconds that you've been letting go I bet you know chances are for most for most people it's rather dramatic the difference what we've been practicing over and over and over again and practice makes perfect is clinging holding on and so what we need to do is we start practicing the opposite we can practice letting go and that can be start with small things maybe it starts first by noticing that the situations in daily life where you'll already letting go there's no successful human life even mildly successful like you know getting through the day without doing some letting go you might not think that's what you're doing you come to the you're going up in the traffic light ahead of you turns yellow so you're in a hurry to get somewhere and the compulsion that holding on to get somewhere so strong that the tendency is to push right through and Pratap that no one sees that you you know that really attend turned red you'll just tell them it was you know yellow the or you let go of the push to rush and you let go and you wait for the do you stop and and and that's letting go to stop I was this evening just before the sitting was contemplating that no this is what I'll my theme for today to let go and my smartphone was in my pocket and it gave a little ding some monumentally important message had come through and I could I could feel the impulse I gotta find out what it is got a check and I could feel that impulse and I kind of went through a very quick kind of little calculation my mind what do I want to reinforce what practices do I want to reinforce where's my well-being I'm actually going to end up feeling better in some way by pulling out the phone and looking at that screen and seeing what it is or I'm actually fairly content right now just sitting here and contemplating letting go you know maybe this is the time to let go of needing to pull up the phone and look and just stay on topic you know stay on the topic of letting go how many times do you look at your smartphone unnecessarily how many times do you fill empty space and pull it out and look is that the best use of your time if you let go of looking at your phone is there something better that you can let go into can you let go is there available to you here and now some goodness something good letting go into just being mindful letting go into being aware of situation letting go of being letting go into relaxing a little bit maybe you're you have layers of relaxation your body can do and it's nice to relax you can let go into looking around and connecting even if it's just visually to the people around you and consider maybe these are good people and consider you know Kennedy to connect to your kindness or your care your friendliness to the people around you it doesn't have to be a big deal it could all be silently done no one has to know that you're being friendly a friendly thoughts are friendly but it's probably a lot better for you and for your heart do that than to check the news on your phone or whatever you do so so you can start so I was trying to say is that you probably do already let go of things in your daily life you're sitting at dinner with people and that thing on your phone comes out and in that situation you realize I'm gonna let go of looking I'm having dinner with these people we're talking about important things and then you can kind of say what their I did it I let go isn't that great and there might be many situations in debt and daily life small ones where you already letting go to appreciate that to recognize that as a movement letting go strengthens the ability to let go and then you can practice and more and more difficult to start with what's relatively easy but find things that are easy to let go of that would be useful to let go of what would be useful to practice letting go ahead because what we're trying to do also is develop that capacity to do it and to do and as we develop the capacity and exercise the act of letting go we also want to learn what gets in the way of doing it what are the beliefs that kick in what are the emotions that kick in what are the fears that come in that - no I can't do that I can't let go or shouldn't let go or you know I deserve that then you know all these kinds of things come along that will say no I don't have to let go this this I should hold on to part of the whole practice of letting go is to take an honest look and all the things that keep you from letting go to understand yourself better so you're not necessarily asked you know to dutifully let go just because you're supposed to let go but the movements of letting go of trying to let go and coming up against places where it's hard becomes a valuable time of self understanding and self-reflection to be a mirror what's going on here for you and you still might decide not to let go but you've understood much better what's going on for you if you understand that what's your beliefs your emotions your fears whatever it might be that's preventing you from letting go if you feel how limiting those are then it might be much easier to let go of the thing that you thought of letting go of so by practicing letting go and daily life practicing let go in small ways small ways you can look at and you know it's the go and go you know small ways but increasingly more difficult at some point you're going to bump up against a place where it's well totally you know not a big deal but you start seeing the beliefs and feelings that are operating that say no I can't I don't want to it's not just too difficult so it may give you another a little example coming to IMC we have asked that people who come here not Park on the on the street here on the bridge side bridge Street because of the neighbors and it's become if we become a nurse nuisance for the neighbors so we ask people here this announcement to now park further away then on this one waste one way block or bird street and and so it occurs to you well yeah they're the means a lot of people are going to park further you know have to go a little bit further what if I maybe Park even further away so it make it easier for the people who maybe can't walk very much and then comes up to thought no no no you know I'm in a hurry it's gonna be dark you know I've had a long day you know I deserve it to be Park closer and so I'm not gonna have to I don't want to walk so far in anyway if I park two blocks away rather than one block away I'll be late before being mindful and so so you might see well you know what would this you know what would happened if I look at this what's going on with me here if I let go of parking as close as I can what happens what do I see about myself what trains of thoughts what beliefs with needs what concerns what fears are operating and something is you know simple and you know no big deal thing about the parking one block or two blocks away might in itself be kind of a silly thing to tell you to let go of but it's not silly if it's part of the process of self understanding and choose something that's relatively easy to begin looking at that and for that purpose is you might choose actual things that you don't need to let go of but you just want to do the exercise temporarily you know like look let's see if I try letting go of this what do I learn about myself what I learn before let go while I'm letting go and after I let go and Gil said you know let go into something well I feel like if I let go oh you know parking one block away do it two blocks away what could I let go into I can let go into perhaps taking of taking a nice brisk walk to imc so when I arrive I'm a little bit more awake I've gotten energized little bit and there's much better for meditation it's a nice thing to let go into and be in your body and go then there's uh what do we do when we can't let go I would suggest that we can always let go of something and one thing we can let go of if we can't let go then we let go of the need to let go if we can't let go or we let go of the you know of the judgments around ourselves I can't let go and posed to let go so we can let go of kind of all this extra stuff around it which is making the situation worse and so you can least do that so you can just be someone who's clinging this happily or or with more ease or something you know just like you know it's unfortunate that cling but I'm not going to make it worse and and then but you know you don't want to be just content to just cling when the clinging is unfortunate so what can you do about that one this is a good place I found to let go into the clinging let go inked into what worth into the feeling the sensations the muscles of holding on where in the body is there a somatic experience of clinging it's in your muscles is it in your brain and the mind and the heart and the belly where do you say when you're really holding on to something and you can't let go chances are you'll feel some physical corollary someplace where it's actually being held and to let go into those feelings so you feel them more acutely so you don't you don't you don't use given up letting go of it and now what you can do is you're going to really get to know it you're going to drop into it and feel it and be with it and that does a number of things it allows you to begin understanding it and seeing it more clearly there's something and you and as you begin to feel or sense clinging more fully the limitations of the clinging becomes more more evident and you'll find that there's almost like the more spit more awareness you give the more aware you are a place what you're of the holding pattern itself the more you'll notice that within the holding there is already a movement to relax and let go it's kind of like you're getting breathing room to it and it's like if you have a really tight fist and you're really upset with something really angry with something to somebody and you're really kind of like just can't let go of your fury and indignation and self-righteousness and all they're good ones and and you know and you'd you know you're not gonna let go of this and you know your whole identity is tied up and the fury and and then you know your hope so you're going around like this metaphorically and then someone comes along and say hey my friend and they just kind of like hold your hand like this with an open their open hand they come out the open hand on the palm come from underneath and hold your tight fist chances are just being held that way they're not telling you to let go or to relax but just being held that way you feel I can sense what's going on better your attention goes into the hand that's clenched your clutched clenched and you mind goes away from the thoughts of fury the thoughts of self-righteousness the thoughts of you know all these things they the idea is that we're holding on to it really that's really the heart of it and so the certain kind of at least the fist now begins to relax and soften when it's held and supported so to come with awareness let go into it in a whole that are see it with awareness shifts the inner ecology away from the thoughts which is really where the center or the fuel for clinging resides somehow or other into the actual experience it's kind of like holding the fist and it might take a while but then the ballet begins to relax if that's where you're feeling there's social olders begin to slowly soften the jaws begin to unclench the tightness around their eyes begins to release a little bit and you didn't even know that the stomach and shoulders and jaws and eyes were tight because you're so concerned with what you need to have and yet did not let go of but what happens if you drop into the somatic experience let yourself cling let go into it feel it the other thing that does is that it's actually kind of a movement of self-empowerment to do that you're engaged in a choice for act that's distinct from the clinging itself your for a few moments saying I'm not going to be the slave to this clinging I'm not going to be the killing it's not gonna be in charge of me I'm gonna turn this card's around and I'm gonna really be and feel it I'm the one who's in charge a little bit I'm gonna be and feel it and be here with it and that is it that's a healthy movement of the mind and that begins also to begin pull away a little bit the entanglement the tightness of the of the clinging that's there the fact that we've kind of changed how we're relating to it all and kind of claim their mind in a fuller way so and finally about letting go if letting go still seems like a terrible idea you know an attractive idea that you have letting go it just seems like these Buddhists don't understand there's a very simple principle that of letting go which i think is always good it's always good to try to let go this way let go of making it worse let go of making the situation worse whatever is happening don't make it worse it might be difficult too challenging don't make it worse don't if you're angry don't you know throw throw it daggers verbal daggers yeah if you're afraid don't then I don't know what is What's in you know it's all kinds of unhealthy things you can do don't make it worse so if you let go making it don't have any tendency to make situation worse and then that will save a lot of problems a lot of people respond to what goes on around them and they make the whole situation worse in unkind words and kind acts in thoughts and all kinds of ways so letting go relinquishment releasing is a very important and very useful practice capacity to develop and learn and so I've offered that the intention and offering these words today was to offer a variety of different ideas around letting go that would be could be used for you to reflect on this topic to think about it now and think about how it works in your life the value it might have how you might do it maybe have conversations with friends about the strange talk on letting go that you heard and you'd like to share it you know these ideas and your relationship with letting go and what you've learned about letting go in your life and how you let go because what what I really would like to do out of these talks when I give them is to offer things that really you take with you to in age reflect practice and kind of they come alive in you because you're engaged with them I I'm not interested in just giving out ideas here well it was a nice idea so we have about 15 minutes and if you have any thoughts and questions and Gil you talked about letting go off and letting go into but there's also Weiss letting go and unwise letting go yes what could you use to know in a situation whether it's a wise letting or unwise letting go sometimes if you're not sure don't let go right away but rather investigate the situation consider it a little more deeply so I've done this and I know other practitioners have done this who had been too quick to let go and letting go too quickly is without the learning that needs to be done first sometimes it's detrimental and come back and bite you even so if you're unsure whether you should let go or whether it's healthy or not healthy don't let go and just spend a little bit of time getting to know the situation better yourself better what's going on that's one thing the other is so how do you know that something is so the other thing is what I said earlier we always want to let go of the clinging to something right so you can always let go of the clinging but you don't have to physically or you know literally stop using or stop doing the activity so the question of whether something is healthy or not healthy is a second-level question it's always unhealthy to cling but whether you stop doing what you are doing so like exercising is healthy some people cling to exercise and some people exercise because they cling to their youth and their beauty and their sexual appeal and that's why they want to you know the exercise but but if they let go of their clinging but then I might as well stay home be a couch potato and eat chips you know I let go now that I let go of exercising with so much time and effort and the chips are good no I mean exercise is good please keep doing it but but what you've changed is the motivation for doing it then you found a healthier motivation so I don't know I don't think my answers are very adequate to you but for now I think they'll have to do this is a very relevant question in Silicon Valley I think somebody asked you before do a few weeks ago because people are faced with decisions all the time and by the minute so he can pass the mic back hi can you hear me okay so you've been speaking of situations in which you have the power to decide to let go and I've been thinking a lot about death where you don't have the power you know you don't in control of it and particularly I've experienced the death of four loved ones in a fairly short period of time six years and I have a really hard time letting go I mean they died right and I have to let go in a certain way but emotionally it's very very hard to let go yes so I just wondered your thoughts around death and letting go and yeah I'm sorry for your losses so I'm not sure you know there's so many different aspects of what you're bringing up so one is that especially people want to have control and so sometimes we have to let go of the need for control of a situation like what it is sometimes we have to let go of the expectation we have that there's never going to be any loss some people live kinda naively and and have no sense or no realistic sense that actually dying in death is a relatively normal part of life and it's not you know it's and to look upon it as completely out of the blue it's a crime that it should happen makes it worse the other is people's relationship to grieving needs to be looked at and to grieving the feeling of loss that comes and what are the beliefs that come in that are coming into play so there might be certain beliefs beliefs we have that are not really so useful or helpful and we have to learn to let go of them we have to also and then sometimes with a lot of loss and the pain of that new unhealthy beliefs come into play and so now there's beliefs that the world is just a dangerous place much more dangerous before and we're you know we're white-knuckle in every day because we think what's what am I going to lose next and so a whole new pattern of thinking is kicked in and so we have to kind of be really careful and notice what is going on here there might be that what we have ideas that we shouldn't be grieving anymore sick you know how many deaths you said it's 64 it's a lot and so you know here we go again and I should have been over it by now or I don't know what what what goes on with people and so it's letting go of the need to be in charge of the grief and letting go into the grief and certain kind of loss of control and allowing the the body to grieve in a healthy way and there's a way and really to allow grieving to to move to flow it and it's kind of like the heart knows how to grieve if we allow it if we support it and a lot of people don't know how to support their own grieving and so sometimes it becomes much more difficult and so it's letting go of you know getting busy or letting go of avoiding the grief or letting go of the beliefs that it shouldn't I think other beliefs I shouldn't feel this loss or all these things and for something like that you know if it's route you know it depending the other thing which sometimes we let go of is I I'm not saying I don't want to be a little delicate saying this I don't want to imply this for you but there is a kind of a feel-good bias that exists in certain corners of our society that we should always be feeling good and if something wrong with us if we're not feeling good and it plays itself out with the topic of depression there are certainly debilitating and unhealthy ways of being depressed that needs medical care it's like aftercare but some depressions are actually part of a healthy functioning of the human being that there's actually important to get depressed sometimes that they should not like you should go out and look to how to get depressed figure it out but that depression sometimes is a really important signal of the system trying to come back into homeostasis and something is trying to work itself out and so there's a there's a kind of kind of a healthy depression that sometimes we have just lived with and if we just think that I'm trying to I have to feel good all the time and if I don't feel good then I'm you know I'm kind of failing and people are not gonna like me and I better go get prozac and you know but rather so also with grieving people might have some ideas that it's wrong somehow I'm not doing it right if I feel the pain of that year after year for a long time but there might be an ache from that loss that maybe will always be there and not to make it a problem and so to let go let go of it needing to be different and then life can be a lot simpler you know fighting it or making it a bigger story than it is just feeling the ache and so those are some thoughts I have for you I don't know if there are those also I don't think are very adequate that's a response to such a big question but hopefully that'll do for now thank you someone so there's over here this is close by well the thing that you said that struck me the most was that sometimes you need to let go of letting go and I have a tenth of these tendency to think when I recognize that I do need to let go of something that I have to do it now and that it can end up being something to beat myself up with and so occasionally I stumble into the state of letting go of letting go and there's a great sense of relief and once I'm able to do that I can recognize that the letting go can happen in increments and that's fine that's wonderful I love hearing that the other thing that I've learned about letting go for my own painful experience is because I did so much letting go as part of our Buddhist practice you know and when you sit and meditate there's a lot of letting go it's it's here when you sit in medicine sit sit for 45 minutes and not move and kind of let go of all kinds of impulses all kinds of thoughts all kinds of all kinds of things that come along just keep letting go to be here to keep showing up keep showing up it's a great training ground for letting go so I've done a lot of letting go in my life and whatever and it became a little bit of a kind of default to let go and it relatively easy at times and two things I learned about doing it one was that I learned that certain things I shouldn't let go of because I wasn't learning and the one thing that I was most important for was my anger I was able to let go of anger great but I never look I never been doing that I was never able to understand my anger and you really want to understand it and get below it and what triggers it and what's really going on more deeply and I was kind of bypassing that because I'm just letting go letting go so I actually stopped letting go of my anger for awhile in kind of you know careful situations so that I could look at it and see what was underneath and that was very helpful for me the other thing I learned is that if I let go something and if I didn't feel a little smidgen at least a teeny bit of joy or lightness or ease I hadn't let go because I would let go and be neutral and there was even at some times I remember I kind of kind of congratulated myself Gil you let go that was good yeah and you know yeah I did it you know everything's cool it's good but really I was just neutral and and inevitably it came back and bit me it somehow came back because it wasn't really being neutral it's not really letting go there had to be a physical or for me physical maybe not for other people but a physical a little bit uplifting force kind of little bit of joy with the letting go and that's it you feel good there to be feeling at all this is good to let go oh this is good without that ah something watch out Gil sorry I just wanted to ask do you if you think they're different qualities of letting go do you think the ones that were meaningful where you felt you know a little joy that there was an insight connected to it or what do you think distinguishes oh thanks that's nice question I don't think I've ever I don't think of it I have much insight after letting go in the letting go accept how good it is to let go but sometimes I've been only been able to let go when I saw what was going on so that's why mindfulness is so helpful they stay present and look and see in the end it's and I said there were some times as soon as I saw what was really going on then letting go happen by itself and that's a beautiful feeling that's really cool I think it's so much more wonderful when the letting go does itself rather than I'm the one who's letting go and so and that comes from you know a real League having strong mindfulness practice because if you really learn how to be strongly clearly mindful of what's going on and really see clearly there's the there's a almost like there's natural forces inside of us that will be letting go it's like the hand thing right the hand wants to relax I don't have to want it to relax I mean I don't have to do it but and so so there's uh so now I forgot the question just what distinguishes are really good letting go from unsuccessful letting go well I think I think the feeling the feeling tone is it feels Pleasant it feels like a relaxation it feels like an improvement like there's breathing room finally and I can you know like there's a relaxation and opening up and it just feels so you know just like you know it's a new day it's something like that so maybe it one more let me try up here in the front they've been trying so if you can pass the mic to the front so in a context of being with others who might not have a practice yeah and something comes up something arises where there's really clinging what kinds of kind of gentle prompts or questions or ways of framing something can create an opportunity instead of causing more harm and the context is my dad who like if you try to give him a hug he just goes like this and gets really upset like angry if I try to give a hug if it's not like Christmassy even ears or whatever it's really interesting so this happened last couple of nights and I would just simply let go of giving him a hug he doesn't want that he probably can figure out what he does want figure out you know what little movement of love friendliness warmth he does appreciate when it didn't it did come up it was a great conversation last night but there's something in there that I'm realizing well there's something where there's an opportunity but so what kinds of like prompts or questions in an environment first you should ask permission yeah that that was an agreement yes dad you know I noticed this thing about you you're you cling when I want to hug you and and now they know it's you know kind of a peculiar thing and you know if you're interested we could talk about a little bit then maybe there's something to understand there and are you interested no okay we went in and went many steps down the road I know my gun something's going on here and so he was willing to have the conversation with yeah beautiful beautiful and it came down to well if he hugs too much and they're not special they don't mean anything maybe that's what he believed so you might show a question some questions around some things like that you might ask that's what you asked me for questions is when did this pattern start when did he when did he first learn this idea or come up with this idea and what was going on at that time in his life and there might it might be the conditions of a time or lessons he learned from other people or from his relatives or there might have been situation where things were really difficult and maybe when he was in the military or maybe he was you know something and so sometimes you ask when did all this remember when this kinda had this first I started having this attitude and understanding as when his mom died of cancer when he was 15 yeah yeah so his mom died of cancer when he was 15 so there's such a deeper need there's a deeper need than hugging or not hugging you know so how do you how do you meet that deeper need how do you accompany how do you support how do you how do you offer some basic human accompanying with his deeper suffering and you have to be very careful this thing about wanting to fix anyone or change anyone right don't you that you know that sometimes I'm sometimes just accompanying and and for me what I did with the fist and the hand is so powerful the idea that that you know just a company and you know let someone feel like you're there with them and just adjust that people feel like you recognize it and even if you don't tell them you recognize that you're there with them and that part of them they'll find a way then yeah when you said that there's a deeper need there what's a deeper need that's more important than that light just went on around that so thank you so much well thanks mate I'll send you $200 for the therapy session that just happened right there so oh no no if you're if that's the bit if that's the exchange by my cost is a lot higher [Laughter] but I'm not in business so it's okay don't don't worry so thank you all and and I do hope that you give some this next week maybe you give some real consideration experimentation and practicing or just letting go and see how it's useful for you and how it can be an improvement and how it in some situations will will protect you from making it worse thank you
