Releasing the Burden of Worry | The Michael Singer Podcast (S3, E4)
The Michael Singer Podcast: Season 3, Episode 4
Why do we find ourselves worrying all the time?
According to Michael Singer, it often comes down to the desperate request our hearts have made to the thinking mind:
"Protect us from bad events by dreaming up every scary possibility-then warn us about them all … constantly!"
In this session, Michael shows us how to transform worry into inner freedom.
About The Michael Singer Podcast:
Join the New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, and Living Untethered for this free series of curated teaching sessions, recorded at his Temple of the Universe yoga and meditation center.

Singer is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, Living Untethered, and many popular Sounds True programs including the Living from a Place of Surrender online course.

This is so deep and it’s so powerfully beautiful and I’m finally understanding it and I have no one to share it with because none of my friends are into this stuff but I shared anyway and they think I’m crazy. Thank you, Michael. ❤️

Are you kidding - its all the more important to share it with those who are not into it - theres no greater gift than when someone helps you grow. Sure most will turn their noses - but if you help one soul - BOOM! Homerun!

I shared with my son who went to one of his sessions in Fl and said he had a phenomenal time. He’s only 25 but awake and connected to his center. I’m so grateful I can share my spirit with him. I hope you find your special person too!

I just found him.
Been following Mickey's talk for a while now and feeling blessed. It's so simple yet so deep. I wrote a poem (with help from Chatgpt) to share with all. Peace be with you. Mind, Oh Mind By Vai S. Thean Mind, oh mind, cease these futile chores, I implore, No longer bear this tiresome mental war. It's not your duty to forecast every plight, To dwell on what might go wrong day and night. Mind, oh mind, embrace the present, I decree, No more fretting, let your thoughts roam free. I'd rather face each challenge as it appears, Than dwell in worry, fueling needless fears. Mind, oh mind, let joy and sorrow intertwine, Appreciating both, for they are intertwined. I prefer to live without constant dismay, To cherish life's moments, come what may. Mind, oh mind, release the weight of endless thought, Feel the world, let your worries come to naught. I'd rather risk the unknown, live unfurled, Than play the games that shield me from the world. Mind, oh mind, break free now and so shall I, Together we'll embrace life, no need to shy. Mind, oh mind, in liberation we'll find, A lighter heart, unburdened, undefined.

Beautiful poem
We are so fortunate to be gifted these episodes. Michael Singer is saving lives. 🙏🏾
Wishing for bad things not to happen has never stopped the bad things in life from happening to me. So worry doesn’t work… surrender is the only option left. Giving up control and letting life have it’s way with me…
Worry is the original disease. Remember you are the free children of the light! ❤✨️

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” ~ Albert Einstein Thank you, Mickey, for sharing your simple - but not necessarily easy - solutions, infused with wisdom and delivered with heart and humor. 💝🙏🏻
"You give life back to life. It's hers anyway."
"Be comfortable with the heart" somehow sounds so comforting.
Anybody else getting all the Sounds True notifications except for this Michael Singer series? Getting notified of everything but this man's lifegiving teachings.
Nothing but gratitude, my life has changed in the two weeks I’ve been following you. 🙏
Thank you Michael Singer, and thank you Sounds True for bringing his podcasts to us. They are a gift ❤
Been living like this for quite a while … stopping the thoughts and no more anxiety , no more sleepless minds … just being in the NOW

When I saw the Title I first thought What ? Me worry I don’t worry because I have been listening to MS for many months and Even had the gift to meet him recently! But I listens anyway and was Shicjed at seeing ALL the fear I have been living with all my life, all to try to Protect my Heart from feeling bad! Wow This is the best talk ever Thank you so much Micky, I now am committed for the rest of this life stop using the mind to protect the Heart, now I see that the Heart needs to learn it is ok to sometimes feel sad And to remember I have the power of my Attention and can replace Worry with endless things to be grateful for each and every day! It may take me 1000 days to repeat this truth to myself and I am onboard with that!😊
what a hysterical delivery, where is the peace in this?
Thanks Micky I'm sick of suffering and slowly getting better ❤
I love all his podcasts but I laughed so much in this one and felt his joy and love of life radiating out so deeply! Such a gift of joy, love and fun ❤

I can feel my heartbeat pounding so hard when I'm terrified of demons and my own death, that I feel as if the heart encased within my chest will actually burst explosively. It's unspeakably uncomfortable 🥵!!! I've had debilitating panic attacks since I was a teenager. Meditation can help at times. Thank you 🙏

@@lisacross-ub5pu It's a tough ride, but as much as possible remain with the discomfort without judgement and trying not to flee into thought. Bring the light of attention and love to it - basically doing inner alchemy. It sounds to me like your pain body is strong and very somatic, probably from early trauma. It might help to do some somatic experiencing work.

I have a physical condition that comes with symptoms of panic and anxiety, it really can feel unbearable. I’ve learned to call the emotion by name (fear, panic, anxiety, etc) and then I bow to it in reverence. It calms my mind and most often it diminishes the discomfort. I’m in a flare today and had anxiety for hours, I just keep listening to Mickey and letting that anxiety be there. It’s not comfortable at all but you know what? I’m okay anyway. The discomfort will pass. I’ve learned so much from these teachings.

Absolutely. My heart gave my mind the job of trying to handle the pain for years. It’s a burning sensation stored with past memories for me but eventually.. it passes. What comes after is beautiful and worth bearing the pain
The World is shifting towards a more Harmonious existence!
I have read many books and been to many courses about spirituality over the years . But not before now, thanks to Michael Singer, I begin to understand the essence of spirituality. Woow what a remarkable world, what a remarkable life. From my often scared heart Thank you ❤

And Thank You Sounds True for « Waking Up the World! »❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Michael. It's crazy how much we have adapted to suffering, to the the point we don't see it at all. I think MV Summers (another spiritual author I respect) says it well that _even your state you call “normal” is a state of suffering-a state of apprehension, concern and anxiety._ And I have noticed this too when I started my internal searching.

Worrying is thinking, what you think about now is what you will get tomorrow etc so all you are doing is manifesting more worry. You have to look past it and visualize the future you want with emotion. Keep letting go of the past and future and stay in the present moment 🙏

That was a deep and insightful podcast. I'm about to move to another country. And even though I was trying to fill my mind with posotive thoughts that's it's going to be OK. I have to admit that I'm pretty scared. But now I have learned to sit through with the feelings and learn to relax through them. Thank you for this amazing podcast.

I am back here where I want to be. Whew!!!When you found what you are looking for and not really sure when you lossed it but you cannot actually ever lose it because it's a choice you have to keep it...I don't know..can anyone else see this. Do you feel this beautiful switch within. It's both scary and exciting because things are just unfolding and you are right there front row seat with the ability to switch your consciousness any moment and have total focus, meditation and clarity. This is it! What I had let go, fell asleep too and I am so happy to accept this love back into my heart and power back to mySelf.

Thank you for your support.
some folks have anxiety and worry due to physical issues that complicate the ability to feel /think/act rationally. I think of hormones/cancer treatments/chronic lyme/mold toxicity/adrenal issues/vitamin deficiencies and mental illnesses. Some folks suffer because of the mind, but the body is not helping and can make things so difficult.
