I’ve studied a lot about Huna, energetics, meditation and happiness over the years and had the good fortune to meet Dr Bob Nozik earlier this year. I was at a Huna trance workshop here in San Francisco and Bob came in to speak about Happiness.
We were working on clearing out blocked energy or “emotional landmines,” and all of what Bob said fit in perfectly. It is one thing to clear the energy out, but another to ensure the same landmines aren’t triggered again in daily life.
After one of the days, a few of the guys taking the workshop and I went for some dinner. There was one guy from Pensacola who really wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory, so we went along there.
It was a Saturday evening around 6pm, so I was expecting a lengthy delay and sure enough we were told it would be around 2 hours before we could get a table. No one in our group really said anything and in fact most of us found it amusing. The other people waiting though had different ideas. One guy near the elevator with his pregnant wife and young children started pushing someone else out of the way. Another person accidentally trod on someone’s shoes and they started arguing with each other. The whole situation seemed so absurd — people getting angry at each other over a restaurant. We all left and went to a restaurant with a much better atmosphere and no line.
Perhaps they had unrealistic expectations for a Saturday evening? All I know is that it is a waste of energy to get angry over things you simply can’t control. Another big part of it is ego. When we feel wronged by someone or something, most people fly off the handle. Letting go of ego takes time, but the rewards in terms of happiness are well worth it.
