Summary
Tami Simon speaks with bestselling author Michael Singer about his transformative book Living Untethered. They explore the seat of awareness, the three-ring circus of consciousness, and how blocked energy patterns (samskaras) keep us trapped in suffering. Michael offers practical guidance on witnessing consciousness, transmuting emotions, and piercing through to the spiritual heart—where unconditional love flows freely.

| 0:12.5 | Today is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes. |
| 0:17.2 | I hope you enjoy. |
| 0:18.8 | In this episode, I speak with best-selling author Michael Singer. |
| 0:23.6 | Michael is the author of the spiritual classic, The Untethered Soul. |
| 0:28.7 | He's also the author of The Surrender Experiment. |
| 0:32.1 | Both of these books are New York Times bestsellers. |
| 0:35.4 | The Surrender Experiment is the book that recounts his personal story |
| 0:39.9 | of spiritual unfolding. And now Michael Singer has written a sequel to the Untethered Soul. It's called |

| 1:09.1 | And quite honestly, I hear lots of comments from |
| 1:12.7 | Sounds True friends and listeners about their favorite programs at Sounds True. And this course |
