Michael Singer Podcast E16: When the Mind Becomes Disturbed
Oct 14, 2024
The mind can mirror the ocean, calm one moment and disturbed the next. Instead of trying to control the chaos, listeners are encouraged to observe their thoughts without judgment. This introspective approach nurtures inner peace and fosters spiritual growth. By letting go of the urge to struggle, individuals can allow mental energies to settle on their own, leading to deeper understanding and compassion for oneself.

Episode notes
Consciousness Observes Mind States
- The mind can be calm or disturbed, but the same consciousness experiences both states.
- Awareness that you are not the disturbed mind itself is the essence of spiritual truth.
Root Cause of Disturbance
- Mind disturbance arises from blocked internal energy caused by past experiences.
- Disturbed thoughts emerge when these blockages release energy affecting the mind.
Avoid Feeding Disturbed Mind
- Do not feed the disturbed mind with attention because that increases its power.
- Avoid trying to fix disturbance by thinking more about it; step back instead.
