Practices that may help
- The Untethered Soul, In Practice
Michael Singer’s teaching is that you are not your thoughts and emotions but the awareness that observes them — "the seat of awareness." The practical moves are noticing the inner voice, choosing to relax and release stuck emotional energy rather than suppress or indulge it, and keeping the "inner gate" open through whatever arises. These are experiential teachings; some overlap with studied mechanisms like decentering and acceptance, but Singer’s framing is not a clinically tested protocol. - Letting go as a moment-to-moment practice
Make releasing — rather than gripping — your default response to whatever arises during the day.
