We All Encounter Challenges
Learning to transform fear, stress, and anxiety can be life-altering.
As we come to realize, EVERY CHALLENGE can become a RESOURCE.
In my experience, people often dismiss this powerful approach because it seems too simple.
To effectively shift fear, stress, or anxiety, we need to consciously let go of everything we're holding onto in the present moment. Michael Singer beautifully explains this method in his book The Untethered Soul.
Today's exercise focuses on relaxation and releasing negative emotions like fear, stress, and anxiety. Mastering this skill can help uncover the valuable lessons within every challenge you face.
Michael Singer’s ‘Highest Technique’
According to spiritual teacher Michael Singer, any form of discomfort, be it fear, anxiety, or illness, stems from blocked energy within our bodies. The key to healing lies in expanding, relaxing, and releasing all aspects of our awareness to free this trapped energy (or Samskara).
Think about a negative emotion, such as fear or sadness. Can you locate the tension? Can you sense where this restriction resides in your body, mind, or feelings?
This practice is delicate and requires a lifelong dedication, but it may be one of the most important techniques for cultivating health, prosperity, and fulfillment.
Your Rewiring Back to Love™ Workout 💪 Transform Negative Experience into Clarity & Energy
Today’s guide is inspired by Michael Singer’s #RelaxandRelease method, and his book #TheUntetheredSoul 💫
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!
