Just One Question | Shamini Jain: How Can You Heal From the Placebo Effect?

Shamini Jain — August 20, 2026

There’s an elephant in the room anytime someone talks about energy healing, an elephant named Placebo. For most of us, placebo means you got the sugar pill. It means...

Michael Singer, Tony Robbins, Sage Robbins: Wisdom Unt...

Michael Singer — April 30, 2026

There are 200 questions in Michael Singer’s new book. But according to Singer, life is ultimately asking you only one: Are you willing to let go?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Singer—beloved author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered—alongside transformational teachers Tony Robbins and Sage Robbins for a special interview celebrating the release of Wisdom Untethered: The Time for Questions. What unfolds is more than a book launch. It’s a masterclass in the interior life, led by three of the most profound voices on spiritual freedom alive today.

Join Tami, Michael, Tony, and Sage to explore:

Why letting go is not passive resignation but a lifelong practice of relaxation, release, and inner freedom
The difference between intuition and mental projection—and how to quiet the mind enough to hear the deeper knowing
The highest form of prayer—and why “thy will be done” points to something far more powerful than asking for what you want
Working with fear compassionately: how to stop suppressing it and start raising it up
Michael’s invitation to “lay down and let it wash over you”—a radical approach to emotions too intense to transcend
Why every single moment is literally unique in the universe—and how that recognition changes everything

Whether you’ve read The Untethered Soul a dozen times or are encountering Michael Singer’s teachings for the first time, this interview offers both the breadth and the intimacy of a teaching that can only come from someone who has fully lived it.

Listen now and discover what becomes possible when you finally let go. →

This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together. Originally aired on Sounds True One.

E177: Handling Reality—The True Path to Inner Peace

Michael Singer — April 30, 2026

Suffering arises because we try to make reality match our conditioned preferences, which are based on past experiences stored in the mind and heart. By identifying with these inner patterns, we become reactive, disturbed, and unable to find lasting peace. Liberation comes from stepping back into the seat of awareness, handling reality without resistance, and consistently letting go of stored impressions so they no longer control our lives.

Richard Davidson & Cortland Dahl: “Flourishing ...

Cortland Dahl
Richie Davidson — April 28, 2026

The world’s mental health crisis is real, but so is your capacity to meet it. What if the skills that lead to genuine flourishing are already built into you, waiting to be activated?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Richard Davidson—one of the most highly cited scientists in the world and a pioneer in the neuroscience of emotion and meditation—and Cortland Dahl, contemplative scientist, Buddhist translator, and co-founder of Tergar International, about their new book, Born to Flourish: How New Science and Ancient Wisdom Reveal a Simple Path to Thriving. Drawing on decades of research with long-term meditators, guidance from the Dalai Lama, and the world’s wisdom traditions, they offer a science-backed framework for wellbeing that is both profound and surprisingly accessible.

Join Tami, Richard, and Cortland to explore:

Why flourishing is a skill—not a personality trait or a stroke of luck—and how we know this from hard scientific data
The four pillars of wellbeing: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose—and why two of them have been largely ignored by Western science
What it means to be “born to flourish” and the research on infants that proves it
How just five minutes a day of intentional practice—piggybacked onto everyday activities—can produce measurable changes in behavior and biology
Why flourishing doesn’t mean happiness: you can grieve, rage, or struggle and still be flourishing
The role of neuroplasticity in reshaping our relationship to anxiety, reactivity, and negative narrative
Why flourishing is contagious—and why that matters more than ever right now

If the world feels like it’s falling apart, Richard and Cortland make a compelling, evidence-based case that the path forward is not as hard as you think.

Chris Bache — July 11, 2023

What is the meaning of life? Can we really understand the nature of time and space or the structure of the universe? Is reincarnation real? Get ready for an extremely edgy episode of Insights at the Edge! Listen in as Tami Simon speaks with educator and author Chris Bache about his book LSD and the Mind of the Universe and the vast implications of the period in which we’re living.

This fascinating and gripping podcast delves into the purification of awareness and surrendering the ego; embracing pain and suffering; the overlapping enterprises of spiritual awakening and cosmic exploration; our collective evolution and midwifing the future human; the accelerated and intense process of development unfolding in humanity; reincarnation and the phenomenon of “deep time”; the multiple modalities of existence in our universe; spiritual traditions with an “up and out” perspective; the birth of “the diamond soul”; potentiating our enormous and divine creative power; dharmakāya, the clear light of absolute reality; the continual work of integrating experiences of cosmic proportions; taking a gentler approach to personal and spiritual growth; and much more.

E89: Freedom from Preference: The Evolution of Caring

Michael Singer — June 25, 2025

The ego often says “I don’t care” as a defense mechanism to avoid pain or disappointment. Truly not caring isn’t about becoming indifferent, but about genuinely letting go of the need for things to be a certain way. When we stop resisting life and release our inner preferences, we experience a peaceful state where nothing has to change for us to be OK.

E88: The Power of Nonresistance

Michael Singer — June 22, 2025

Resistance is the inner act of opposing what is, and it is the root cause of all suffering. Whether you are resisting emotions, thoughts, or life events, it is this opposition—not the events themselves—that causes disturbance. Spiritual freedom comes through a deep state of nonresistance: allowing reality to pass through you without blocking it. Once you reach this state, you are truly ready to interact with life instead of reacting to it.

E87: The Path to Nonduality

Michael Singer — June 18, 2025

Nonduality is not an abstract philosophy but a practical spiritual path rooted in everyday life. The Universe is one unified system, but we can’t see it that way because we need certain parts to be certain ways. This is because we don’t feel whole within ourselves, so we differentiate the outside based on what we think will make us feel better or worse. Once we feel whole and at peace inside, everything is free to be as it is—one nondual reality.

E86: The Addiction to Self: Breaking Free from the Ego...

Michael Singer — June 15, 2025

Spiritual growth begins not by seeking higher states, but by fully recognizing how we built the ego out of thoughts from our past and are now identified with it. Our resultant preferences and suppressed past experiences make us suffer and constrict our awareness to ourselves. True liberation comes not by spiritualizing the ego, but by relaxing behind it and allowing reality to pass through while remaining centered in our true nature as consciousness.

E85: You Are Not Who You Think You Are

Michael Singer — June 11, 2025

You are not your thoughts, emotions, or experiences—you are the conscious awareness behind them. Identifying with these inner phenomena creates a disturbed inner world that you mistakenly try to fix with the outside world. Spiritual growth involves changing your relationship with your mind and emotions by releasing their past stored blockages and rediscovering the stillness, clarity, and joy of your true nature.

E84: Unconditional Love Is Who You Are

Michael Singer — June 8, 2025

The true meaning of Mother’s Day is to celebrate the idea of unconditional love—a love that does not judge or withhold. Most humans misunderstand this because the mind judges everything, creating inner resistance and leading to closure of the heart. Spiritual growth is the process of learning how to stop judging by understanding the root of judgment: past experiences stored in the personal mind that we couldn’t handle. By consistently relaxing through these blockages, instead of resisting their release, they will dissolve naturally, allowing the spiritual energy to rise. This culminates in the realization that God is love, and our own consciousness is that same ocean of love.

E58: Beyond the Illusion: Awakening to True Consciousn...

Michael Singer — March 9, 2025

The findings of modern science and the deep spiritual teachings are moving closer and closer together. Our entire outside world is composed of tiny atoms that our senses blend together to create what we call reality. Advanced physics has found that these atoms emanate from wavelets in the omnipresent Quantum Field. Spirituality has always taught that reality is an illusion, a dance of Light.

Every day, your senses take in this illusion, and you build a false sense of self based on the experiences you’ve had. This is your ego, and it is the cause of all personal suffering. Behind it is the real you, the consciousness that is aware of your thoughts, emotions, and the outside world. The meaning of life is to transcend the illusion and return to the source of consciousness. This is Enlightenment.

E96: Untethering Consciousness: The Path Back to Your ...

Michael Singer — July 20, 2025

All living beings share the same divine consciousness, but the sophistication of the human body, mind, and heart allows us to expand our consciousness into very broad frames of reference. Unfortunately, we limit that expansion by constantly being distracted by an entire barrage of personal preferences formed by our limited past experiences. True spiritual evolution comes through letting go of these psychological distractions and allowing consciousness to return to its natural state of unlimited expansion—Enlightenment.

Michael Singer — July 6, 2025

The central spiritual teaching is that we are not the mind but the awareness behind it. The personal mind, composed of impressions from past experiences, creates a false sense of self (ego) that causes suffering and distraction. Spiritual growth begins by recognizing this addiction to the personal mind and learning to lean away from its pull rather than engaging with or resisting its thoughts. This process allows divine energy (Shakti) to emerge and guide us deeper into the source of consciousness.

E123: How Clinging Creates Ego and Suffering

Michael Singer — October 23, 2025

Human beings walk around with a fishbowl over their head full of thoughts about themselves. Instead of naturally processing outside experiences as they come in, we trap the ones we can’t handle inside this bowl. These stored impressions distort our perception and generate endless preferences about what should or shouldn’t be happening. True spirituality is about letting each experience pass through fully processed—whether joyful or painful—without clinging. When no longer distracted by these stored impressions, one enters a state of openness, equanimity, and ecstatic unity with all of creation.

E136: The Root of All Stress—Resistance to Reality

Michael Singer — December 8, 2025

Stress and suffering arise not from external events but from our internal resistance to them—based on our inner preferences, fears, and desires toward what is happening. The outer world manifests from vast cosmic forces beyond our control, while our inner reactions are shaped by past impressions we have held onto. The path to liberation lies in relaxing and letting go of resistance, allowing life to flow through us without obstruction, thus opening to inner peace, joy, and spiritual freedom.

E48: Spiritual Awakening: Transcending Lower Self

Michael Singer — February 2, 2025

Spiritual growth involves realizing that our lower self is the ego-driven construct that arises from past experiences, emotional reactions, and stored mental patterns. Most people live disconnected from their true self and are constantly entangled in their thoughts, emotions, and external perceptions. True spirituality is the realization that one’s higher self is the consciousness observing these transient experiences, not the experiences themselves. This leads to liberation from identification with the ego. The ultimate goal is to return to the seat of consciousness and achieve a state of peace, love, and unity while engaging with life as a fully conscious, nonreactive being.

E207: The Birth of the Personal Mind

Michael Singer — August 13, 2026

Suffering arises when consciousness becomes distracted by experiences, identifies with them, and forms the personal mind filled with preferences, fears, and attachments. Spiritual growth comes not from stopping thoughts but from developing witness consciousness and learning to allow life’s experiences to pass through without resistance or clinging. The practical spiritual path is to continually practice “I can handle it,” while relaxing and releasing our reactions until we rediscover ourselves as awareness itself, rather than the collection of experiences we have accumulated.

E208: Living Beyond the Personal

Michael Singer — August 17, 2026

Every genuine spiritual tradition teaches that the highest path is letting go of the personal ego and living according to a greater guidance than our personal desires. The suffering we experience comes from identifying with our preferences, fears, and self-concepts, instead of recognizing ourselves as the awareness that is experiencing our experiences. As we surrender self-interest, act without attachment to outcomes, and become instruments of something greater than ourselves, we discover true freedom, joy, peace, and the ability to serve life with clarity and love.

E209: The Science and Spirituality of Consciousness

Michael Singer — August 20, 2026

Most human beings mistakenly identify with the mind and live inside its endless stream of thoughts rather than directly experiencing reality. Reality can be defined as different vibration rates of energy, from matter to emotions to mind to blissful consciousness. Human suffering arises because of the mind’s preferences and judgments that cause us to resist some experiences and cling to others. The spiritual path is one of openness, surrender, and allowing life to pass through, which ultimately leads to realizing oneself as the conscious awareness that is observing all experiences.

Imagine living without the need to prove or protect yourself, without the constant drive for acceptance or the fear of failure. What if you could just be real? Life would become effortless, free from judgment, and full of peace. True liberation isn’t about escaping the world—it’s freeing yourself to live in harmony with it.

E22: Finding Peace Through Truth and Acceptance

Michael Singer — November 3, 2024

Embracing deep truth involves being willing to look at human existence in relation to the universe—we are all on a small planet in the middle of nowhere for a brief moment in time. To avoid facing this truth, we make up personal beliefs and create a self-concept (ego) that leads to tremendous suffering and conflict. The key to living truthfully is to let go of the ego, embrace the vast reality of life, and focus on serving life instead of serving yourself.

People spend tremendous energy trying to protect themselves from psychological discomfort and rejection. You do not have to live that life—you can live a life of acceptance, where external circumstances no longer have the power to control your mental or emotional state.
