Tuning In Episode 6 - The Power Of Poise, Awareness and Rapports

Description:
In this episode, Bob and Greg discuss the Wisdom Teachings of Isidore Friedman as they relate to the practical power of the practice of handling EVERYTHING that happens from a centered state of poise or equanimity. We make situations harder when we lose our poise, our emotional balance, and begin reacting strongly positively or negatively. Losing our poise prevents us from seeing clearly, thinking clearly and functioning as effectively as possible. A key to maintaining poise is simply practicing it all day.
One practice that supports maintaining poise is the practice of simply paying closer attention to our thoughts, feelings, speech, actions and surroundings. This was a core teaching of Isidore’s. As we practice being present, or being aware, observant or attentive to our present moment experience we make fewer mistakes, discover more intelligent and loving ways of going about things, and actually experience life’s deepest joy.
We also discussed a little-known aspect of wisdom that relates to “Rapports”. A rapport happens when we get into sympathetic resonance with an individual or group. We “pick up” the feeling states, thoughts and even behavior patterns of others. These can be quite unhealthy for us. By paying closer attention in daily living and maintaining our inner equipoise, we can recognize when a destabilizing, unbalancing, or even sickening rapport is impacting us. We can then take steps to distance ourselves from those unhealthy energy patterns.
Conscious Speech was another focus of this episode, and a MAJOR focus of Isidore’s teachings. We magnify what we speak about. We will certainly return to the practice of Conscious Speech in future episodes.
