Welcome to my blog about transcending the self. Instead of using the mind to fix or control your world so that you can be happy, there is another way. This blog is about moving your awareness from your limited, egoic-self to your Higher Self in order that you can be the divine expression that you were intended to be.


Many of my beliefs are based on the books "The Untethered Soul" (T.U.S.) by Michael Singer and "Falling into Grace" by Adyashanti. These books describe the path of moving your awareness from the part of you that tries to make your life work (ie, find happiness, security, love...) to the part of you that Witnesses or Watches your life unfold and your reactions to your life. As you become more aware of yourself as the Watcher, and you let go of the energies of the lower self, you will be moving towards greater freedom.

So instead of struggling to make everything go your way in life, why not accept what is (release the need to fix or control people, situations or your mind), open your heart and surrender to That Which Created Life in the first place! In other words, go with the flow of life and watch the amazing miracle that you are blossom! Please join me in choosing to move beyond the limitations of the personal self and to live a life of freedom.

To get the most out of this blog, I suggest that you read the books. I also recommend the CDs by Michael Singer (see the website below). I post on this blog about once a week. If you would like to be notified by email each time I post please send your email address to donnamccullough@cox.net.

taking inventory

When I am having difficulty letting go of something I find it helpful to 'take inventory'...that is, check in with my head, heart, and body to see where I am stuck. 

I observe my thoughts and decide to let them go.  Although our energy gets stuck in the heart, holding on to negative thoughts can keep the heart closed.  I may say to myself 'I let this thought go,' "It is what it is,' 'I choose to be happy no matter what,' or some other positive affirmation.

Then I check my heart to see what I am feeling.  I let the feelings be.  With a relaxing breath I let them go... reminding myself that I am not the feelings...I am the experiencer of the feelings.  I let my heart soften.

Finally, I check my body for any tension.  With a deep breath I relax the tense areas of my body.

I find it easier to let go when I have broken down the process into each of these 3 steps.
