Episode: Staying Open — What “The Untethered Soul” Taught Me About Energy

In today’s Daily Awakening, I share the insight that’s been transforming how I move through my days: the energy inside us is always available unless we’re the ones closing it off. After rereading The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, I felt a powerful invitation to self-responsibility, openness, and choosing to live life with my mind, heart, and gut/intuition open.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear of my experience:

Why our inner energy doesn’t come from food, circumstances, or other people

How we unknowingly close ourselves off out of habit, fear, or protection

The difference between an open mind (curiosity, willingness) and a closed one (judgment, constriction)

How an open heart feels compared to a closed heart in love, in grief, in daily life

How your gut signals whether you’re aligned with intuition or shut down from it

Why I am choosing to stay open and let the energy flow.

This is a gentle, profound reminder:Life is going to happen anyway. We can either meet it open or meet it closed. One drains us. The other frees us.

If any part of this resonates, I’d love to hear your experience.Where do you feel openness or closure? Mind, heart, gut, all of the above?

I’m rooting for your openness, your energy, and your awakening. If this served you, share it with someone who may need it today.
