What actions would we take if we weren't afraid of perceived future outcomes and emotions?
In this solo episode, I delve into the profound teachings of Michael Singer's renowned book, "The Untethered Soul." This book has helped me gain invaluable insights into the nature of the mind and the art of observing our thoughts. I've been dipping in and out of his teachings for over seven years, and the realisation 'I am not defined by my thoughts' has profoundly impacted my personal and professional life.
"In the end, enjoying life's experiences is the only rational thing to do. You're sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere. You're floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you're going to be here, be happy and enjoy the experience."
In this episode, we explore:
· Allowing emotions to flow through us, navigating life's challenges with grace and resilience.
· The transformative power of contemplating death and cultivating a deeper appreciation for the present moment.
· Mastering the art of being the observer, gaining clarity and inner peace by freeing ourselves from the constant chatter of the mind.
· Understanding the relationship between manifestation and time, emphasising the importance of patience and trust on the path to success.
· Breaking free from limiting labels and consciously choosing the emotions we want to experience, empowering us to shape our reality.
