LET IT GO! Michael Singer on Removing Blocks and Finding Joy

MICHAEL A. SINGER is a spiritual teacher and #1
New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul, The
Surrender Experiment and the recent Living Untethered: Beyond the
Human Predicament. For over four decades, Michael has been
passionately teaching spirituality and mindfulness.


Michael’s spiritual journey began in 1971. While working on his
doctorate in economics, Michael decided to go into seclusion to
focus on yoga and meditation. It was in 1975 that Michael founded
the Temple of the Universe, a now long-established yoga and
meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs
can come together to experience inner peace.


Singer is also a successful entrepreneur that has made major
contributions in the areas of business, education, healthcare,
and environmental protection. He created a leading-edge software
package that transformed the medical practice management
industry, as well as the founding CEO of a billion-dollar public
company whose achievements are archived in the Smithsonian
Institution.


Tony and Sage Robbins are excited to share this special
presentation from a 2022 private event with their Platinum
Partners in Mexico. Here, Michael teaches us the importance of
surrender and how to “let go'' to remove the negative blocks
inside us and allow positive emotions – like joy and happiness –
to flow through us with grace and ease.
