We grasp for three things: pleasure, self (defining and defending), and oblivion.
No object, sensation, idea, or behavior can ultimately satisfy.
Turn from what you grasp at, whatever it is.
Turn to the grasping itself -- the sensations of tension-impulse-reaching.
Gently open to the tension or conflict underneath.
Rest there, gently curious, open.
