May 2012 – "The Untethered Soul" Recently a client gave me the book The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer.  I’ve read many spiritual and self-help books before, but The Untethered Soul has had such a profound impact on me. I was struck by the idea of putting the ego in check and becoming more aware of being rather than doing.  The essential message of this book is that in life we build up defenses which rear up at any sign of danger. Better than letting them do so is consciously staying open instead. We don’t disregard the potential risks but rather accept that they might exist without assuming that they do. I know for sure there is no real meaning to life without a spiritual component. Spirit, to me, is the essence of who we are. That essence doesn't require any particular belief. It just is. I am finally getting it: that being aware of the present moment is what matters most. It's transformative. It redefines what it means to be alive. Reading The Untethered Soul has made me aware of both the depth of spirituality and its simplicity. I now know for sure that spirituality can be something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as giving your full-force, 100 percent attention to another person without thinking about what else you need to be doing right then. Or making an effort to do something good for someone. Or starting your day with a full moment of silence. Or waking up to literally smell the coffee, "tasting" its aroma through your senses, making every sip sheer pleasure, and when it's no longer sheer pleasure, putting it aside. Spirituality is about paying attention to your life—always asking, in every moment, "What can I learn from this?" What I know for sure: The light in your life comes in one conscious breath at a time.
