We All Face Adversity
Learning how to transform our fear, overwhelm, and anxiety can be truly life-changing.
And we find out… that ALL ADVERSITY can be used as an ASSET.
In my experience, people often overlook this simple yet powerful technique because it appears too straightforward.
To effectively shift fear, overwhelm, anxiety, or any other unwanted emotions, we intentionally release everything we are holding onto at the moment. Michael Singer eloquently explains this process in his book "The Untethered Soul". [1]
Today's workout involves relaxation and releasing negative emotions such as fear, overwhelm, and anxiety. This simple yet nuanced skill will help you find the gold at the heart of every aspect of adversity in your life.

‘The Highest Technique’, according to Spiritual Teacher Michael Singer
Essentially, any form of dis-ease or negative experience (such as fear, anxiety, depression, or illness) originates from a constriction of energy that becomes trapped within our bodies. The solution lies in expanding, relaxing, and releasing all aspects of our consciousness to allow the release of the trapped energy (or Samskara). [1]
Consider a negative experience, like fear, anger, or sadness. Can you identify the constriction? Can you pinpoint where this constriction exists in your body, thoughts, and emotions?
This practice is intricate, subtle, and requires a lifelong commitment to master. However, it could potentially be one of the most crucial practices for achieving health, wealth, and happiness.

Transform Negative Experience into Clarity & Energy
It can be helpful to remember that you can take action and make changes about this situation AFTER you’ve done this exercise. This technique does NOT REPLACE making changes and taking action in a practical way – but you will NOT see your life clearly while this contraction is present. Handle the contraction in your energy and body, and which loving expansive actions are the best to take will be abundantly clear AFTER you’ve done this exercise.
- First choose a situation that can trigger a negative experience for you. You can choose anyone that you want. You can trust the one that pops into your consciousness first. Or feel free to find the one that is the most challenging for you in your life right now.
- Describe the situation. Let yourself feel and think negatively – and write it down freely and without censorship. Now is the time to blame, and complain and have a tantrum or a pity party, as fully and completely as you can.
- Be aware of the energy in your body. Where do you feel the contraction? The tension, the tightness, the pain, the discomfort, the negative sensation?! Write it down. Describe it in as much detail as you can.
- Now be aware that the real you – the Soul – the Authentic Self is the part of you that is observing, watching, holding for this experience. You are NOT the negative energy. You are experiencing the negative energy. You have the power to let go of ANYTHING that is NOT YOU.
- So just now, for a minute, practice relaxing, expanding, releasing that contraction or negative experience completely. Use your imagination. Use your body. Use your breathing. Use your loving. Use your prayer. Use whatever shows up for you uniquely, to support you in relaxing and releasing this stuck, contracted energy within!
🏆 Pro Tip: Practice doing this every Tuesday, to prime the pump for when you really need it. Just for a minute, can you be aware of what’s triggering, and that you have the power to relax and let go – to completely release any stuck, negative energy inside. In essence you are rehearsing and imprinting on your energy field what you want to do when that trigger happens in your life – when that situation triggers you.
