Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I get so pulled into whatever I’m thinking or feeling that I lose any sense of solid ground
  • I hold on to everything all day long
  • There’s this voice in my head that never shuts up
  • I’m so swept up in the reaction that there’s no steady ground to stand on
  • I had this real release a while back, but lately under stress I can feel that old part getting heavy again and I’m scared the whole thing failed

Practices that may help

  1. 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.
  2. Resting in the seat of awareness
    Settle back into the center of consciousness that is simply aware, behind all experience.

  3. Letting go as a moment-to-moment practice
