Anita,

In native “matt-ease” they’re called entanglements. 🙂 Working at letting go doesn’t really work, neither does applying mental energy toward them by thinking on top of them. More like, ripples in the pond don’t really change the water, so what’s all the fuss about? Move the mind to the breath, and the ripples fade all on their own. Thoughts float in, float past, emotions rise up and fade, and there is Anita, breathing, the ocean and sky, one.

With warmth,
Matt
