Episode notes
You Live In Your Own Inner House
- Michael Singer frames your inner mind as a single-occupancy apartment fully under your control.
- He argues you decide when to resist, grab, or complain, so inner work is your responsibility.
Practice Moment-to-Moment Inner Work
- Do the daily inner work: notice disturbances and clean them rather than carrying them forward.
- Start with 'low-hanging fruit' moments like minor annoyances to become liberated from internal disturbance.
When Disturbance Arises, Relax
- When energy inside gets weird, relax instead of resisting the feeling.
- Relaxing behind the disturbance lets you observe it without adding more suffering.
