Don't Let Your Love Die on a Napkin

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Fri, 6 Mar 2026 18:35:11 +0000

My grandfather was six foot four. Always in a suit. Captain in the US Air Force. A man of very few words. Throughout his entire life, he never once told my father that he loved him. Not once.

That silence — the gap between what we feel and what we express — is the central wound of our time.

In this episode, I share the story at the heart of my book RESONANCE: what happened when my father decided to break a generational cycle of unspoken love, what my grandfather did with a napkin that said everything his words couldn't, and what I found in my father's desk years later during his final days.

I also explore what Dr. Matthew Lieberman's research at UCLA reveals about why this matters neurologically — how social pain activates the same brain circuits as physical pain, why the Surgeon General has declared loneliness equivalent to smoking fifteen cigarettes a day, and why the Harvard Study of Adult Development found that relationship quality predicts health and longevity more powerfully than diet, exercise, or genetics.

This is not about self-improvement. This is about the question most of us are afraid to ask: can you let someone all the way in?

The Song That Wants to Live Through You

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:38:11 +0000

On finding your band, becoming an instrument for the more, and the roadmap to reconnection in an age of loneliness.

Welcome to Resonance.

After five years of writing and thirty years of research, I'm beginning to share what has become a magnum opus on human connection: how we call in and build the right relationships in our lives, how we become instruments for the music that wants to live in the space between people.

In this episode, I explore:

The concept of "the more" — the unique song that wants to live through each of us
Why we need to tune our instruments in an age of noise and competing signals
How to distinguish between resonance and dissonance in relationships
The loneliness pandemic: why we're more disconnected than at any point in history, despite being more "connected" than ever
Why the quality of our relationships is the single greatest predictor of our long-term health and happiness
The roadmap to reconnection we desperately need

Key Quote: "We are so besieged by erroneous signals telling us that a Rolex or a nice car is success. But any billionaire in their 80s would give up everything they have to have what you have now: time. That's our true wealth. So the question becomes: how do you spend your precious time? And there's no more noble way than understanding who you are, the song you're meant to sing, and who you're meant to sing it with."

Full Moon, Full Heart: Rituals of Renewal and the Power of Living as an Offering

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Fri, 5 Dec 2025 06:14:45 +0000

Tonight in Uluwatu, under the brightest supermoon we’ll see for the next 17 years, I dropped into a powerful download about the future of Resonance — and about the future of human connection itself.

In this episode, I share:

✨ Why full moons act as natural rites of passage
🌊 How the ocean and awe reset our nervous system
🔥 The breakthrough vision for the 2026 Resonance Summit
🤝 Why living as an offering changes your destiny
🌀 What the transition from the Year of the Snake to the Fire Horse symbolizes
📱 The lost art of energetic hygiene in a distracted age
🌙 How the Moon, Sri Lankan Poya days, and ancient rhythm can guide modern living

This is an invitation to step into 2026 with ceremony, clarity, and connection — and to reclaim the practices that bring us back to center.

Energy Leaks, Boundaries, and the Art of Letting Go

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 01:52:38 +0000

Today on Resonance, I’m coming to you from Uluwatu with a message about the power of editing — not in the sense of doing more, but in the courageous act of removing what no longer serves. Culturally, we’re taught that happiness comes from accumulation: more doing, more having, more striving. But in relationships, and in our own inner world, the truth is often the opposite. Fulfillment lives in subtraction.

I share a recent real-world experience with someone who showed all the signs of connection on the surface, but ultimately revealed a deeper pattern of gaslighting, blame, and energetic misalignment. It forced me to confront something I’ve carried since childhood: the impulse to abandon myself for harmony, to take responsibility for emotions that aren’t mine, and to stay connected to people who haven’t earned the privilege of my presence.

In this episode, I dive into why we repeat lessons until we claim the boundary we’ve been avoiding, how unresolved inner voices manifest in the people we attract, and why editing your relational field is essential for stepping into the next chapter of your life. Most importantly, I share how facing discomfort without numbing it is part of becoming the integrated man I choose to be — one aligned with resonance, partnership, family, and true integrity.

If it’s not a full yes, it’s a no. Boundaries are love. Editing is liberation. And every person we release creates the space for the people who are truly meant to walk with us.

The Power of Keeping Your Word: Commitment as a Path to Integrity

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 03:49:36 +0000

In today’s episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer broadcasts from Uluwatu, Bali to unpack one of the most overlooked superpowers in modern life: commitment.

At a time when flakiness has become normalized and integrity is increasingly rare, Michael explores why honoring your commitments is the cornerstone of both self-trust and relational depth. From navigating a last-minute Wi-Fi crisis to honoring a 30-day daily publishing challenge, he shares a firsthand story of choosing integrity over convenience—and the identity shift that choice reinforces.

Michael zooms out to look at how traditional cultures, tribal structures, and Dunbar’s number remind us that we are fundamentally interdependent. In an era hyper-focused on the individual, he makes the case for reclaiming a “we-centered” mindset, where honoring your word becomes an offering to the collective.

You’ll hear how commitment builds internal power, why integrity creates momentum for your dreams, and how following through on his first book opened the portal to his second. This is a call to revisit your promises—to yourself and others—and remember that your words are seeds. When tended, they grow gardens. When neglected, they leave deserts.

A grounded, potent reminder: keep watering what you’ve planted. Your future is listening.

Who You Are Is What You Attract

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 06:24:28 +0000

In today’s episode of Resonance, Michael delivers a powerful reminder: who you are being shapes every relationship, opportunity, and experience in your life. We live in a culture obsessed with doing and having—more success, more status, more external markers of worth. But none of it matters if our state of being isn’t aligned with the life we’re trying to create.

Michael shares how his own initiatory process has required shedding old patterns, confronting shadows, and embodying a deeper level of grounded, conscious presence—one capable of holding the vision he has for his next chapter, his work, and future partnership.

You’ll learn why the world reflects your internal state, how to identify when your external results are mismatched with who you want to become, and what it looks like to act “as if” you are already the version of yourself capable of receiving what you desire.

This is an invitation to step into the person your future is calling forward—today.

The Call to Home: Initiation, Insight, and the Next Chapter

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:16:54 +0000

In this liminal moment between Ubud and Uluwatu, Michael Trainer reflects on a profound series of downloads:
a Thanksgiving future-self meditation, a deep Vedic astrology reading, a life chapter of karmic stripping-away, and the sudden, crystalline vision of his next book about initiation.

Speaking from the jungle, on the eve of his movement to the cliffs and horizon line, Michael explores:

Initiation as a life path — the lived rites of passage, dissolutions, and sacred encounters that have shaped him

The emergence of Book Two — a non-traditional memoir weaving the magic, the teachings, and the soul-level story of becoming

Karmic fires and pruning — leaving homes, releasing illusions, and discovering the true gardens where his seed is meant to grow

Astro-cartography and destiny — how place, soil, and timing shape flourishing

The call to root — recognizing that partnership, family, and deeper embodiment require a home base

Men’s work and purpose — the rising need for rites of passage, belonging, and grounded masculine presence

The spirit of Bali — gratitude for the ceremonies, ancestors, and guardians of this land during a powerful 10-day window

This episode is a transmission from the threshold—a moment of honoring the insight, metabolizing the lessons, and preparing for the next life chapter. It’s a message about becoming the vessel that can hold the vision you are meant to birth.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, shedding old skins, or seeking the garden where you are meant to flourish, this one will resonate.

The Liminal Space: A Thanksgiving Meditation on Gratitude, Listening, and Inner Signal

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 15:43:59 +0000

In this Thanksgiving reflection, Michael invites you into the liminal space—the quiet between the notes where meaning, magic, and clarity live.

Drawing on a powerful future-self meditation and a week-long vision fast on California’s Lost Coast, he shares how deep listening changes the way we perceive the world—and ourselves. From native traditions of fasting for vision to the way nature sharpens our senses when we strip away noise, Michael explores how true gratitude arises when we become receptive rather than directive.

You’ll hear:

Why gratitude is more than a practice—it’s a signal-clearing

How the “space between the notes” (Debussy/Miles Davis) reveals the essence of life

What a future-self meditation can teach us about legacy

How nature attunes the nervous system to clarity

The magic that arrives when we enter the world with reverence and listening

Why real wealth is time, health, sunlight, breath, and presence

From Ubud’s morning rain to bathing in the Lost Coast waterfalls, Michael recounts the moments where the world speaks—if we are quiet enough to listen.

On this day of thanks, this episode is an invitation to:

Put your feet on the earth

Let your breath slow

Listen for what your life is asking of you

And remember that gratitude is the root of a life well-lived

Sending you presence, warmth, and deep gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving.

The Double Opt-In: The Most Important Rule of High-Level Introductions

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:19:40 +0000

High-value relationships are built on trust — and few things erode trust faster than sloppy introductions.

In this short tactical episode, Michael shares why the double opt-in is the gold standard for making introductions at the highest levels. He walks through a striking real-world example of a podcast guest who asked for introductions to some of his most sacred relationships — including global spiritual leaders — without providing context, value, or rapport.

You’ll learn:

What a double opt-in introduction actually is

Why it protects all relationships involved

How poor introductions silently drain social capital

The right way to respond when someone asks you for a connection

A simple script you can use to make value-forward, pressure-free introductions

How to avoid the “ghosting loop” that happens when you introduce people without consent

This is a masterclass in relational intelligence — and once you learn it, you’ll never introduce people the old way again.

Go to the Left: The Hidden Path to Life-Changing Relationships

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 15:28:39 +0000

What if the best opportunities in your life were sitting just a few feet to the left of where everyone else is looking?

In today’s episode, Michael shares a counterintuitive but wildly effective relationship strategy inspired by his 40-day drive through 11 national parks during the pandemic. While exploring Yosemite, he realized that almost everyone flocks to the valley—while the equally majestic Tuolumne Meadows sits nearly empty.

That insight became a guiding principle:

When it comes to connection, go where no one else is.

The less crowded place is the most powerful place.**

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why approaching speakers after a talk is the worst time to connect

How to meet people in moments where their guard is down and their humanity is up

How to leverage allies, friends, and gatekeepers instead of chasing the spotlight

Why serendipity is a strategy, not an accident

How to create meaningful, memorable gestures that cut through the noise

This is your blueprint for becoming the pleasant surprise in someone’s life—
the unexpected presence that opens doors, sparks relationships, and creates the kind of resonance that changes everything.

This simple shift transforms your outreach from transactional to magnetic—and dramatically increases your likelihood of receiving a meaningful response.

You’ll learn:

Why most asks fail (and how to avoid the “pick your brain” trap)

The neuroscience of why personalized offers create instant rapport

How to research someone’s deepest values—and speak directly to them

The Hot Ones principle: surprise people with depth

Why offering unique experiences is more powerful than credentials

How Michael built relationships with Moby, Flea, No Doubt, Woody Harrelson, and more

Rite of Passage: The Archetype Shift That Changes Everything

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 15:44:44 +0000

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery.

**Understanding Individuation**

Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires.

**The Traditional Rite of Passage**

Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood.

**The Importance of Letting Go**

To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life’s signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices.

**Finding Your Purpose**

The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it’s from maiden to mother or prince to king.

**Community and Support**

Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential.

**Commitment to Growth**

As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation.

What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?

In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.

Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they’ve expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.

He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we’re not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.

You’ll hear:

Why you’re the lead actor in your own story

The archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identity

How ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect community

What happens when we avoid the identity we’re called to live

How injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signal

Why strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matter

The difference between karma and dharma

Why stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibility

Michael’s commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your own

If you’ve been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.

**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**

Michael Trainer’s podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:

- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.

- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.

- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.

- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.

- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 14:57:38 +0000

When you expand your vision, you expand your relationships.

In this episode, Michael explores the idea that “your relationships will move commensurate with your vision… and the bigger your vision, the bigger your relationships.” Whether you’re called to a quiet, simple life or you feel a pull toward building something much larger than yourself, your “why” shapes who shows up in your world.

Michael shares:

How compelling vision and story helped him co-create Global Citizen and attract allies like Bill Fold (Coachella), the Foo Fighters, the Black Keys, and FedEx

The neuroscience and ancient roots of why we’re all still wired for campfire stories

How events, podcasts, and books become “relationship engines” instead of just projects

The Dalai Lama event that drew in Forrest Whitaker, Roland, and a whole constellation of unexpected collaborators

Why he doesn’t identify as an “event producer,” but continues to create events for causes bigger than himself

How Resonance is becoming a platform for human connection in an age of loneliness

A simple but powerful idea: always have an invitation in your back pocket

He closes with a beautiful story of a woman who met her husband at one of his gatherings—reminding us that when you bring people together around a meaningful vision, lives can literally change.

You’ll walk away with:

A new way to think about vision—not just as a personal goal, but as a social magnet

Practical ideas for turning your vision into platforms (podcasts, events, salons, books) that attract aligned people

Reflection questions to clarify your own “why” and the relationships you want to build

The Tragedy of a Life Never Begun

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:30:01 +0000

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W.M. Lewis

In this solo episode, Michael reflects on the ways we delay the life that’s calling us. He shares how he waited years to launch this very podcast and over a decade to write his book, Resonance, and what finally helped him get out of his own way.

Drawing on Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, he explores the idea of the “muse” – that creative force that wants to move through us – and the counterforce Pressfield calls “resistance.” He weaves in stories from elders facing the end of their lives, including a man who had never once been met at the airport, and contrasts that with memories of his father, a man who always showed up.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

Why we wait so long to begin the life that’s meant for us

The muse, resistance, and how to finally start dancing with your creative calling

The difference between résumé goals and eulogy goals

What elders’ regrets can teach us about how to live now

Why relationships — the people who would pick you up at 2 a.m. — matter more than anything

This is an invitation to stop postponing your real life, to sing your unique song, and to surround yourself with the people who help you play it beautifully.

Trust Your Gut: The Hidden Compass in Every Relationship

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 14:24:44 +0000

In this deeply resonant episode, Michael explores the second brain — the gut — and how its subtle signals can reveal more about our relationships than logic ever could.

He shares a recent encounter in Bali that reminded him of one powerful truth:
if it’s not a full “yes,” it’s often a “no.”

You’ll hear how the body tells us which connections are nourishing, which are neutral, and which quietly erode our energy. Michael explains why we ignore red flags, how to recognize the difference between signal and noise, and why people who leave us energized are invitations worth accepting.

This episode is a reminder to trust the intelligence within you — to follow the feeling, honor the subtle cues, and invest in the relationships that invest back.

Perfect for anyone seeking deeper clarity in dating, friendship, or life direction.

The Resonant Moment: How One Unexpected Encounter Changes Everything

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:39:12 +0000

In today’s episode, recorded live from Ubud, Bali, Michael shares a powerful, real-life moment of pure resonance — the kind of unexpected human connection that stops you in your tracks and reminds you of the magic that’s possible when you’re fully present.

After a day spent walking through Bali’s ceremonial offerings and reconnecting with his own inner rhythm, Michael experiences an effortless, deeply attuned connection with a stranger — one that reawakens the truth of what resonance feels like.

In this intimate story, he explores:

how to recognize when someone is “playing your song”

why the nervous system knows resonance before the mind does

how to approach new connections with courage, curiosity, and integrity

the difference between dissonant relationships and aligned ones

why small acts of openness lead to entire worlds of possibility

This episode is a reminder that the relationships meant for you cannot miss you — and that the magic we want is waiting on the other side of presence, self-trust, and a single courageous moment.

Dissonance vs. Resonance: How to Tune Your Life and Level Up Your Game

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:20:47 +0000

This is a rich and highly engaging monologue! Here are some great options for the title, summary, and description, focusing on the core themes of self-mastery, environment, and energetic boundaries.

Dissonance vs. Resonance: Tuning Your Environment and Stepping Up Your Identity

In this tactical episode of Resonance, host Michael Trainer tackles the concept of Dissonance—the frustrating static and out-of-tune feeling that emerges when your core values and integrity aren't met by your environment or relationships.

Drawing on his challenging experience while recording in Ubud, Bali, Michael unpacks how the gap between his grounded, pragmatic approach and the "maybe I'll show up, maybe I won't" culture became a powerful call to action.

You will learn:

The Power of Environment: Why physically changing your location (or "garden") is often the most direct and pragmatic way to reset your inner tune, especially when entering a new professional or personal phase.

The Radical Reckoning: How to use tools like journaling, trusted friends, or even AI to uncover the blind spots and patterns that lead you to attract and tolerate dissonance.

The Identity Manifesto: Michael shares his process for defining a new self-identity, including a declaration to stop "energizing" people and behaviors that don't share your high standards for integrity and follow-through.

Confronting the Warrior's Task: How to turn dissonance into resonance by deliberately taking on the uncomfortable tasks, hard conversations, and long-avoided items that are draining your life force.

Childhood Wounding as Signal: Recognizing that patterns of frustration (like constantly being flaked on) often connect back to unresolved childhood experiences, and how to use this awareness to heal and show up differently.

This episode is a powerful message about holding yourself and your relationships to a higher standard, recognizing static, and intentionally cultivating the energy where your most beautiful music can play.

The Most Powerful Relationship Tool You’re Not Using: Podcasting as an Invitation

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 14:04:39 +0000

This episode is both a how-to guide and an honest reflection on resistance, ego, creativity, and the power of taking your place on the stage of your own life.

Takeaways

I was sitting on this incredible content with these incredible humans.
I had incredible conversations and I was in my ego about it.
It kept me from singing my song.
I committed in that moment that the next day I would publish my podcast.
It didn't matter if two people showed up.
Six years later, it has been an absolutely revolutionary act in my life.

How to Build a World-Class Network Through Anchors, Invitations & Value

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 04:31:08 +0000

In this episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer pulls back the curtain on one of the most powerful relationship strategies he’s ever learned — a strategy that transformed his life, unlocked access to global leaders, and helped build world-class communities and movements.

He calls it The Anchor Strategy.

At its core, the Anchor Strategy is simple:
Create an offering so valuable that extraordinary people naturally orbit around it.

Michael shares how this principle guided him from building Global Citizen to hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his 80th birthday, to facilitating sold-out conversations with Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gabby Bernstein, Marie Forleo, and more.

You’ll hear the story of:

how a 30-day meditation practice inspired him to host the Dalai Lama

how that one anchor created momentum he couldn’t have imagined

how the anchor of a single event led to hosting Deepak & Eckhart

how a podcast becomes an anchor for world-class conversations

how anchors transform asks into meaningful offerings

how aligning altruistic impact with enlightened self-interest opens doors

and why being an offering is the most powerful frame for modern connection

Michael also breaks down:

✔ how to use events and experiences as magnetizing anchors

✔ how to build momentum by inviting people into something meaningful

✔ how a podcast becomes an anchor for relationship building

✔ how to transform cold outreach into a warm invitation

✔ why being of value attracts people you once thought unreachable

✔ and why the best ways to build relationships are not transactional

Whether you're building community, launching a platform, creating a movement, or simply trying to connect more deeply, the Anchor Strategy gives you a timeless blueprint for exponential relationships.

This is the physics of human connection.
This is how you build a life of resonance.

The Rhythm Section for Your Life's Music

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 03:46:20 +0000

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.

Stay in the Commitment; It is where Integrity Lives

michael@peakmind.org (Michael Trainer) — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 04:00:17 +0000

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.
