Summary

Michael A. Singer is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself, the New York Times bestseller The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life’s Perfection, and, most recently, Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament. In 1971, while pursuing his doctoral work in economics, he experienced a deep inner awakening and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a retreat center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. Through the years, he has made major contributions in the areas of business, the arts, education, health care, and environmental protection. In this podcast, Michael joins Sounds True’s founder, Tami Simon, to speak about his latest book. Tami and Michael discuss the first question for the spiritual journey, “Are you in there?”; the “three-ring circus” of the outside world, the thoughts in your head, and the emotions that emanate from your heart; the energy of Shakti; removing the samskaras (or energy blockages) within you; resistance, will, and accepting reality; practicing the little things—the “low-hanging fruit”—on the path of surrender; the proper use of positive thinking; the mantra “I can handle this”; witness consciousness and the practice of “relax and release”; the art of transmutation; piercing the spiritual heart; and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to Insights at the Edge, produced by Sounds True. My name's Tammy Simon. I'm the founder of Sounds True,
0:08.4	and I'd love to take a moment to introduce you to the Sounds True Foundation. The goal of the
0:14.3	Sounds True Foundation is to provide access and eliminate financial barriers to transformational education and resources, such as
0:24.6	teachings and trainings on mindfulness, emotional awareness, and self-compassion.

0:42.5	In this episode, I speak with best-selling author Michael Singer.
0:47.7	Michael is the author of the spiritual classic, The Untethered Soul.
0:52.9	He's also the author of The Surrender Experiment. Both of these
0:56.9	books are New York Times bestsellers. The Surrender Experiment is the book that recounts his
1:02.9	personal story of spiritual unfolding. And now Michael Singer has written a sequel to the Untethered Soul.
1:12.4	It's called Living Untethered, Beyond the Human Predicament.
1:17.4	And it's a true honor that Sounds True was able to publish Living Untethered in partnership
1:23.8	with New Harbinger.
1:25.9	Sounds True has also created an online course with Michael Singer.
1:30.3	It's called Living from a Place of Surrender.
1:33.8	And quite honestly, I hear lots of comments from Sounds True friends and listeners
1:39.1	about their favorite programs at Sounds True.
1:42.6	And this course with Michael Singer often comes in at the very
1:47.0	top of the list for so many people living from a place of surrender. It's a rare gift for me to have an
1:55.2	opportunity to have an in-depth conversation like this with Michael Singer. He's known as somewhat of a hermit, a recluse,
2:04.5	someone who doesn't give many interviews,
2:07.3	and I decided to take it upon myself
