Heading to the Temple of the Universe tonight! ✨ Who’s read Michael Singer?
Hey everyone! I’m heading up to Michael (Mickey) Singer’s Temple of the Universe outside of Gainesville tonight and wanted to see if anyone here is familiar with his work? If you’ve read The Untethered Soul or The Surrender Experiment, you know how life-changing his teachings on inner peace and "letting go" can be. Tonight’s Schedule: - 5:30 PM: Pre-yoga meditation - 6:00 PM: Hatha Yoga - 8:15 PM: Mickey’s Talk Night (These are always profound!) The Temple is a long-established meditation and yoga center set on 600 acres of beautiful land and is open to everyone, regardless of your beliefs. If you can’t make it in person, I highly recommend checking out his talks on Spotify or YouTube. 1. Letting Go (The Internal Process) This is your inner work. It focuses on what you do with the "stuff" inside you—the thoughts, emotions, and past triggers (which he calls Samskaras). - The Action: When you feel a "tightness" in your chest or a reactive thought because someone cut you off in traffic, you relax and release. - The Goal: To stop the energy from getting blocked. You "let go" of the resistance so the energy can flow through you rather than getting stuck and becoming a part of your personality. 1. Surrender (The External Alignment) This is your outer work. It focuses on how you interact with the world. This was the core of The Surrender Experiment. - The Action: It’s the decision to stop fighting with reality. Instead of saying "It shouldn't be raining," you accept that it is raining and ask, "How can I best serve this moment?" - The Goal: To align your will with the "flow of life." It is a move from control to participation. How they work together: Singer often explains that you cannot truly Surrender to life if you haven't Let Go of your internal preferences. Link to Michael's talks. Has anyone else been here or practiced his "surrender" philosophy? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🕊️
