Every Day Gets Lighter When You Let Go of Yourself | The Michael Singer Podcast

What do you plan to do with your "next lap around our star?"

Nearly everyone, Michael observes, will do the same thing they do every other year of their lives: try to get what they want and avoid what they don't want. And they'll be just as unhappy.

Why do we do this? Can’t we liberate ourselves from this no-win situation? Here, Michael Singer shines an optimistic light on the New Year.

One of my favorite things about Mickey is how calm and slow and soft he starts each talk... but within 5 minutes his contagious energy and excitement completely take over!!! 🙂

"Collect coins, stamps, don't collect bad experiences." Yes!❤😊

In the last 10 minutes, Singer gives the clearest teaching on surrender he's ever given, or that I've heard, anyway. The elevator example is brilliant. Surrender is giving up the right to have an opinion. Egos have opinions - the Divine Self that you are is everlasting, ever-renewing Love, which has no opinion and claims no right to one. It simply experiences what happens, loves it no matter what, and lets it go ...

This year I decided to accept everything as it comes . No more escapism to let it go

I found him in 2019 . Went uk to live, it was so challenging working in Covid in the health system… I did all his courses read all the books… now this journey is my life - I am the awareness- I witness my thoughts everyday day … ❤❤❤

So easy but hard to do. I constantly have to remind myself. Come back, B here now. Stop the suffering. I know the suffering comes from holding on .

[alijohnston]

My head was in a complete tizzy the last few days. I was making myself miserable and struggling as a result. This podcast was exactly what I needed to hear. It helped to remind me of the Truth and snapped me out of it. The peace, contentment and the freedom I am ultimately seeking is already here. I will still work towards my goals but I am done chasing them.

The self is Suffering. To overcome self is Nirvana. It is not that the self has a problem. The self is the problem.

I absolutely love Michael Singer, unfortunately, it’s not necessarily so easy to gloss over trauma responses in terms of likes and dislikes. Yes, that is the root of it but until we go back and reparent ourselves and love and accept the inner child, it seems rather belittling to just say just do it. Yes, it is a just do it, yet it’s not so simple but it is easy, it also hard. Anyway just my two cents for those of us who listen to this and realize how hard it was to learn to override the limbic system imprints from childhood and learn to regulate ourselves. Much love everyone. Healing happens ❤

It's kinda strange how most of us see outerspace as "out there" like we aren't IN space and apart of it. Lol.. it's kinda a trip.. to not see ourselves as separate. WE ARE IN SPACE.. it's not out there.. lol

[CristofEnsslin]

This is so great. Living on earth we are floating through empty space, living in outer space. Now that's perspective!

[CoffeeAndDaydreaming]

Michael Singer has a way of reminding me that it's okay to feel safe, thank you!!!

[luminous]

"If you have to be doing anything about it to try and be okey, it means you are suffering."
Thank you🌺

He said”there is nothing to like or dislike, it’s all atoms”! 😮

[jenmayo]

My spiritual counselor called it maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain in trying to make my life work for me. As long as we stay in this state we remain self obsessed.

[brightchange]

He is just he best .. I so used to do what he talks about - avoid all my childhood triggers, try manipulate the world to avoid everything and they, TRY TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. So futile .. I was so miserlbly unhappy. This just rings so true .. The 8part video course is amazing, - DO IT - I would encourage EVERYONE to get it ... I listen it to it over and over and over ... it's great.
