Michael Trainer (00:01.292)
Welcome to peak mind. your host Michael trainer. And today I want to talk about relational dynamics and the balance that is necessitated in our relating. And for me, you know, I studied years ago with the traditional healer in Sri Lanka, and he said to me that health is the heart rhythm. It's the, it's the rhythm of the heart and
That became so poignantly clear to me when I thought about being in utero and the fact that for nine months, the thing that defines our reality in the darkness of the womb is the beating of the heart. And we all share this heartbeat, right? From birth till death, there is a miracle which is the beating of our hearts.
And that heart is always in relationship with the world. If we get anxious, it beats faster. When we calm, it beats slower. It's the rhythm section. It's the rhythm section for our life's music. And the people that we meet bring in the other instruments. They're like the, you know, the guitar, they're the piano. And when we're in harmony,
The sound is beautiful. But if we don't take care of the heart and the rhythm of the heart, if we're not mindful of it, we lose our way, we lose our balance and we get out of tune. And one thing that was hugely clarifying for me was I realized actually, you know, society tells you you're an introvert or you're an extrovert. And I found that I was both.
I absolutely need to be alone and recharge and I absolutely need to be social and get energized from being around nutritious people. And then I learned that there's something called an Ambervert which is both an introvert and an extrovert and one enables the other. And it was so clear to me this weekend when I was at a conference and meeting with people and around new energies and stimuli.
Michael Trainer (02:29.524)
and quote unquote networking, but really just connecting with people, but new people. And for 12 hours a day, today I was actually meant to fly. And I was like, you know what? No, I can't. I need to just be at home and ground. I need to go to the water. I need to find my center. I need to tune my instrument. I need to get back in rhythm with my heart. So that when I get back out with people, I am in an amazing way.
And I think when we don't take care of our instrument, we don't take care of our heart, we don't pay attention to those signals, that's when we get out of balance. And in Sri Lanka, where I live with this healer that I had the great fortune of studying with, when someone got profoundly out of balance, it was actually the role of the community from sunset to sunrise to richly recreate through this elaborate and beautiful ritual.
their shared cosmological worldview and elaborate fire dancing, flower offerings, dance, drama. The person was placed in the center and it all rotated around them. And slowly the collective brought them back into the rhythm of the community, back into the rhythm of the collective heartbeat. And in that is health.
because we are inextricably linked. And we live in a fallacy that we are kind of islands on a hill, we are individuals. And while there are beautiful aspects to our individuality, there's also a biological imperative. are connected, we are interdependent. And so to tune yourself into the collective heartbeat,
but also to know when to withdraw when you need to do your own tuning so that you can play beautifully with others. This dance I think is not often talked about, but is so important. And so for my ambroverts out there, for those that both are introverts and extroverts, I think it's so beautiful to recognize where the bridges are and to be in the listening for your bridge.
Michael Trainer (04:54.526)
and to find the way to stay in the rhythm, your rhythm. And for me, it's knowing when I'm getting a little too much noise and I need to return the signal. And today was an exact exemplification of that. I canceled the flight, I stayed home, I got a nap in, I got a workout in, I went to Barton Springs and went in the water. And that combination served me. I'm now...
My cup is more full, I'm gonna get an early night's sleep. Tomorrow I'll be ready to get back in the world. So do the things, my friends, that keep you in your center so that you can connect beautifully to others when you are out in the world. But know also when you need to retreat to take care of yourself. Sending so much love, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Welcome to peak mind. I'm your host Michael trainer. And today's episode is going to be a short but powerful one. And it is the message to show up and stay in the fight even when you don't feel like it. And I'm using fight here metaphorically. But tonight I got home 10 o'clock.
after a 12 hour day with a massive amount of socializing, what would traditionally be called networking, et cetera. And I am exhausted, like feet ache, brain done, et cetera. And I committed to do a podcast every day. And so I thought what more better topic.
Because through the course of today, there were probably five or six times I felt like going home. And it was tempting. I wanted to come home. I wanted to sit on the sofa, turn on Netflix, and just zone out. And not that there would have been anything wrong with that, but I had so many epic connections that I would not have made had I listened to my initial impulse to go home.
And I share that because I think many of us face moments where we are, we want to just give in. We want to listen to the call of our comfort. And sometimes that is appropriate, but I would argue that if you can find a way to grab a brief window of respite. So for me, instead of going home, I went outside.
put my feet on the grass and I absorbed the sun and I let myself rest. I calmed my nervous system. And taking that brief rest was enough for me to get back in the game. Back in the fight, so to speak. And I'm so glad I did because I wound up having an epic 12 plus hour day connecting to incredible humans, likely some future business partners, future friends that I would not have made had I
Michael Trainer (02:26.09)
Listen to that inner call to go home that introvert aspect of me that that calls for me to to retreat now there are definitely times days where Recharging is called for so this is not to say never rest There are days. I just spend as an ambervert alone to recharge. I go to the Barton Springs or I go to the ocean I take time to
tend to myself, to honor myself and to be in silence. And those are beautiful times. But today was a day of connection, a day of getting out there, meeting people, a conference surrounded by people I respect, peers, people who have shared a line interests. And oftentimes those environments can be overwhelming. But when we take the time
and practice the tools of re-centering ourselves, we can get back in to the context of connection. And in this world starved for human connection, it's an incredibly powerful act to not go for the proximate connection we can find in our telephone, and instead to stay in the act of meeting new people and finding shared resonance, which I did time and time again.
And when you do that, you also build momentum. the world providence comes up to greet you and more people will come up to you and conversations will get easier and you'll uncover uncommon common ground. And that's what happens when we stay in the commitment to that music that wants to live in the space between us and other people. And so my friends, today's a short but sweet episode to share. Stay in the song.
Stay in the song, stay committed to the music because you never know the beautiful harmony that will come to live on the other side of your commitment.
