Welcome to my Blog on Energetic Inquiry
A little bit about myself……
I am a seeker. I have been a life-long self-helper, watching Oprah religiously throughout college and beyond and reading loads of self-help books, especially those with a spiritual bent.
Throughout my life I’ve had a vague suspicion that there was some great secret out there that perhaps others knew about but that I did not. As many books as I read, however, and as many shows as I watched, I could not figure out the secret. I even read the book, The Secret, but did not find the secret I was looking for.
Then I came across The Untethered Soul. I must have read the book three times in a row in my attempt to understand exactly what Michael Singer was getting at. I’m not sure I completely understood the depth of his teaching, but I had a feeling that this was the secret I had been searching for.
I was able to glean a practice from the book which I began to put into use. The practice, which I call Energetic Inquiry (EI), is short and simple. In the beginning I only used it sporadically when I remembered to do so. But slowly I started to notice I was learning things about myself that I had not previously been aware of. These little revelations kept me going and today I find myself using Energetic Inquiry many times per day.
I think the reason that this practice works so well is that it allows me to use triggers in my everyday life as the touchstone for change and realization. The good news is that a lot of triggers equals a lot of possibility for change!
Energetic Inquiry continues to reveal so much to me, and every once in a while, I even find myself experiencing that oh so elusive quality that the mystics call presence.
For other kindred spirits looking to find The Great Secret that they suspect is out there, I’ll first say that there is indeed a secret. But… the secret is not “out there.” It is inside of you buried under beliefs you may not even know you have.
I am sharing this practice of Energetic Inquiry with the hope that you may also find it helpful in uncovering The Great Secret within yourself.
