He draws on the Buddhist, Hindu Atmin and Judeo-Christian doctrines that suggest that beyond all form, you are there. Whom is this serving? How is this helping, asks Michael? We need to let those negative thoughts go. Acknowledge them, and then let them go. I guess, in a way, to make sense of everything, but this can also be a very painful ordeal, as we constantly rehash a conversation with a colleague, client or boss or friends, that might not have gone well. He maintains we are narrating the entire world around us, but only what we want – so that we can recreate our outside inside of ourselves. Michael shows us that the best way to stop it is to view our thoughts objectively that they are separate from you. You long for this voice to stop, so you can get some rest or some peace, but sometimes it never does. In the book, Michael explores the voice that’s in your head, constantly nattering away, and which can be quite judgmental, your worst – and everyone else’s worst critic. I have had friends ask me to borrow it, and each time I suggest they purchase a copy for themselves – and they do. It’s a very personal thing, one that continues to provide enlightenment, and one that I would highly recommend you read and own for yourself. These words could not be truer, and as I have continued to read, and reread the book, I have discovered that to me, it’s a kind of modern day Bible. On the book mark when my copy of Michael Singer’s book showed up, were inscribed the words “The mind can be a dangerous place, or a great gift.”
Relief provided, I’d finally fall asleep.įinally, ever more curious, inspired, and blown away by Michael’s incredible ability to break down our “minds” thoughts and provide solace, I ordered his book “ The Untethered Soul”. I listened to the podcast twice the first time, and each time I lay awake at night, thinking about something that happened to me during the work day, I’d pick up my iPhone and my ear buds and listen to it again.

She sent me a podcast from Oprah’s “SuperSoul Conversations”, called “ Free Yourself from Negative Thoughts”with Michael Singer – knowing it would help relieve anxiety, and provide perspective. I was going through a period of “angst”, worrying about everything, a bad day at the office, a love relationship gone wrong, a friendship not quite right. A close girlfriend of mine introduced me to the author Michael Singer.
