Dear Coach –

I have a question, how do WF students deal with tele marketers? They desperately want to talk to someone and it seems to easy just to say �I am sorry, I am not interested.�

Dear Student Mackel –

first, use them as a Breath & Posture Beeper Guru.

second, imagine them cooped up in a friggin� cubicle all day long under fluorescent lighting sapping their inner power, doing a job they probably DON�T want to be doing, working with coworkers and bosses they probably despise…flash on this for a moment so that you experience a feeling of compassion, not anger toward them. would YOU want to do what they do everyday? phew…

third, you may interrupt their spiel by kindly saying,

�Oh, i am sooooo terribly sorry but i am a practicing…(insert one of the following; Buddhist, Vedantist, Taoist, Yogi, etc). But thank you very, very much.� then, most probably there will be a silence because their note sheet it does not tell them how to respond to a Buddhist, Vedantist, Taoist, Yogi, etc. In that silence you may say to them, �Namaste.� and hang up. works every time. you have not taken them out of your heart and you have put forth helpful Dharma into their cells.

jao!

love,
