Sometimes when I go hiking, I’ll bring a book to pop out when I find a nice spot to take in the views and really enjoy the present moment. There’s something so relaxing about reading in nature and one of the few times I actually have the capacity to focus on and absorb the pages of a book.
Thought it would be fun to have a little spread-leg story time and read a couple pages aloud from “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer.
Fair warning, it does get pretty heady. Take what you will from this excerpt about suffering, the psyche, and true freedom.
I think it’s normal for us as humans to feel a spectrum of negative emotions, and that it’s important to allow ourselves truly to feel them. Most of the suffering we endure is caused from our mental state and the fear we have around feeling pain. Even the subtlest of patterns can cause us mental turmoil. I think the first step in living a life of less suffering is becoming aware of those things that cause us unnecessary grief or anxiety. We may realize that those things we worry about aren’t serving us, and once we acknowledge that they may eventually dissipate.
