Podcasts about anderson cancer center

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Leslie R Schover, author of the book Fission. Leslie is a clinical psychologist and brings her knowledge of people and relationships to her fiction writing. She spent most of her career at the Cleveland Clinic and the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She published three self-help books and created a digital health company to educate people with cancer about sex and fertility. Will2Love.com won a 2019 Innovation Prize in the Astellas C 3 Changing Cancer Care contest. Her first published novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak draws on her parents' stories of Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project and on revelations of Soviet spies there. She lives in Houston, Texas with her faithful dog, Luc.   In my book review, I stated that Fission is a wonderful historical fiction. Although set during WWII, this book takes place completely within the United States as we follow Doris and her husband Rob to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Doris' husband is tapped to work on the Manhattan Project, a top-secret program to create the first atomic bomb.   As a reluctant young mother and bride, Doris first has to decide if she will move to Oak Ridge or continue her education. When she finally moves to Oak Ridge, she has to figure out her place in a world very different from Chicago. Will being Jewish be something to overcome? Will her husband's lack of education stop him from advancing? Will Doris figure out her role as wife and mother? What will she do when romance comes knocking - and not from her husband?   I was excited to learn this story is based loosely on Leslie's parents, which gives an emotional edge to the characters - and you know how I love a good character! This is a must-read book that will give you an insider's look at The Manhattan Project and how it affected not just the scientists, but all who lived and worked in Oak Ridge.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Leslie R Schover Website: https://www.leslieschoverauthor.com/ IG: @leslieschover FB: @leslie.schover.9   Purchase Fission on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4rRR3dp Ebook: https://amzn.to/48Cb92k   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

EPISODE 667 - Leslie R Schover - Fission - A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak, Oak Ridge and the Manhattan ProjectAfter retiring from her academic and clinical career as a psychologist, Leslie Schover has returned to her early love of writing fiction. She brings her knowledge of people, relationships, and sexuality to her novels. She grew up in Highland Park, in the suburbs of Chicago, and minored in creative writing at Brown University before receiving her PhD in clinical psychology at UCLA. Her mother did not want her to choose writing as a profession and told her that only someone as single-minded as Truman Capote, who had published a novel at age twenty-three, could be a successful author. Leslie spent most of her  psychology career at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She was one of a few pioneers in advocating for reproductive health in people dealing with chronic illness, especially cancer. She published three self-help books in the Jurassic age: Prime Time: Sexual Health for Men over Fifty (Holt, Rinehart, & Winston, 1984); Sexuality and Fertility after Cancer (John Wiley & Sons, 1997); and Overcoming Male Infertility: Understanding its Causes and Treatments (John Wiley & Sons, 2000). She was also coerced by colleagues, who wielded the powers of promotion and tenure, into writing thirty-five book chapters on sex and/or fertility after cancer, with the daunting task of avoiding self-plagiarization. She created all content for a digital health company, Will2Love.com, which received an Innovations Prize in the 2019 Astellas C3 competition for cancer care. Unfortunately, Will2Love, with its mission of helping people with cancer to solve sexual and fertility problems, did not survive the pandemic. Her first novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak, is based in part on her parents' stories of life during the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It will be published by SheWrites Press in January, 2026.https://www.leslieschoverauthor.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Meet Eric Lugo from Houston, Texas. Eric is a veteran whose journey with pancreatic cancer can be traced back to when he had a case of pancreatitis during his basic training in 2005. A stent was put in to treat his pancreatitis, and he went back to his usual military routine without much concern from the doctors. After years of discomfort in his upper abdomen and his health declining over years of service, he started losing weight and found himself feeling very ill. It got to a point where he was visiting the VA office very often to try and pinpoint the reason why he felt so awful. Despite undergoing a long series of tests and scans, nothing was revealed. He was later referred out of the VA system to a colorectal surgeon who was able to finally find the mass on his pancreas through an endoscopic test and later a biopsy. At 36 years old, he was finally diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and found himself at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where he began a very aggressive treatment of 5-FU. Eric talks about how he felt while undergoing the many rounds of 5-FU and describes some of the supplements and other things he has done to combat the side effects and toll on his body. Eric also talks about his wedding, which was a month after his diagnosis. As he started treatment, his wife stuck with him and continues to be his support system along with both of their families. Eric also highlights the importance of faith and prayer in his journey with pancreatic cancer and remains optimistic about his outcome. Currently, Eric is detoxing from chemotherapy for a clinical trial he may begin soon.

Among the key qualities everyone wants in their healthcare providers is a love of learning and desire to serve others. That's why we at Osmosis are confident Dr. Lewis Nasr will be a great physician and why we chose him to be the first guest in a new series of interviews on Raise the Line we're calling “Next Gen Journeys.” The series will highlight fresh perspectives on medical education and the future of healthcare offered by students and recent graduates from around the globe. Starting with Dr. Nasr is a natural choice because of the many contributions he's made to Osmosis over the last several years including service in the Osmosis Medical Education Fellowship program and being a key contributor to our Year of the Zebra initiative. In this engaging conversation with host Hillary Acer, Lewis brings the perspective of medical students trying to learn in very challenging circumstances in which their personal safety and access to basic needs can be at risk. “It's another layer of obstacles that you have to get through. This gives international students a resilience and adaptability that they can bring to clinical practice.” Lewis also discusses his interest in hematology-oncology and reflects on entering the field at a time of remarkable clinical and technical advancements. “It's exciting to see cancer go from what is perceived as a death sentence to something manageable. I really hope to be part of the scientific wave of making cancer history.” We have no doubt that he will be, and neither will you after hearing from this thoughtful, compassionate young physician. Mentioned in this episode: https://www.osmosis.org/worldhttps://www.osmosis.org/zebrahttps://www.mdanderson.org/

Jason Bock, Co-Founder and CEO of CTMC, and Dr. Chris Flowers, Division Head of Cancer Medicine and Chair of Lymphoma and Myeloma at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, are collaborating to accelerate the development of cancer cell therapies and manufacturing innovative cell therapies for cancer patients. CTMC is a joint venture between MD Anderson Cancer Center and National Resilience created to address the challenges of delivering autologous cell therapies at a scalable level. Jason and Chris highlight the value of face-to-face interaction in solving the complex logistics of getting a drug from the research into the clinic.   Jason explains, "We created CTMC to address the challenges of delivering autologous cell therapies to treat cancer patients. This modality is unique in that the starting material for each batch of product comes from the patient. And so, the actual manufacturing supply chain starts with the patient. We bring that into the manufacturing facility, engineer the cells, expand them, and then reinfuse those to the same patient. The clinic and manufacturing site relationship is much more connected than any other therapeutic modality. MD Anderson, being a leader in cancer cell therapy and seeing that cell therapy would be transformative for cancer treatment, we created this venture to address better the challenge of the connectedness between cell therapy, clinical trials, and manufacturing sites." Chris elaborates, "Our group at MD Anderson had a very similar concept and idea that started a little bit later, about five years after that and looking at the same target. Throughout the last three years, our group has collaborated with CTMC and has taken the concept of that target and moved it from animal models and cell models where we were testing to see whether this was a good target and effective of killing lymphoma cells. We took this to animal models, where we tested and showed that it was effective. Then, collaborating with CTMC to go through the entire FDA regulatory process to get an IND approval to develop the manufacturing process. So, not just a targeted cell therapy that was effective in the lab, but a targeted cell therapy that could be effective and be administered to patients. That whole scale-up and manufacturing process was a collaboration that happen with CTMC." #CTMC #MDAnderson #CellTherapy #ClinicalTrials #EndCancer #BiopharmaceuticalManufacturing ctmc.com    mdanderson.org Download the transcript here

Micronutrients are the nutrients our body needs in lesser amounts to grow and develop. These include vitamins and minerals, and our body cannot manufacture these, so we must obtain them thru diet and supplementation. There are water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, macrominerals, and trace minerals. One of the best ways to look inside your cell to see what your nutrient status is is by taking a micronutrient test. This test tells you if your cells are stable, borderline deficient, or functionally deficient in a wide range of nutrients. You then want to correct these intracellular micronutrient deficiencies so that your cells are optimally working. If you go back to biology class, you remember that the mitochondria inside your cells are the powerhouses of energy produced for your body. Without functioning mitochondria, you don't have optimal energy being produced. Without optimal energy, you won't have healthy hair growth. After all, you don't need hair to survive. The only way to correct these deficiencies is through diet and supplementation.My returning guest today is Dr. Grabowski, a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Pedro Ramirez, is joined by Dr. Elvio Silva to discuss precursors of ovarian cancer. Dr. Silva received a medical degree from the Universidad de La Plata and has been a faculty member at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center since 1980. He had pathology residences in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and University of Toronto, Canada and is the former President of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists. Highlights: - Most ovarian serous tumors originate in the ovarian stroma. - Ovarian serous tumors originate in the epithelium of inclusion cysts or in epithelial areas that appear in the stroma due to mesenchymal-epithelial transition. - Mesenchymal-epithelial transition in serous tumors mimics the development of the Mullerian duct from the celomic mesenchyma.

We Need More Illustrations of People of Color in Medical Textbooks— The lack of diversity perpetuates health inequality and stereotypes "The consequences of primarily depicting White, lighter skinned individuals with Eurocentric features in medical images supports the persuasive concept of White supremacy. It perpetuates the belief that the White male body is "the standard" to which all other bodies should be compared. It leads to inequality in medical education and further perpetuates harmful stereotypes of Black individuals. As a result, this issue plays a role in inappropriate diagnosis and health management of Black individuals. Furthermore, medical care becomes subjective, discriminatory, and filled with speculatory assumptions based on stereotypes." Jenna C. Lester is founder of the Skin of Color dermatology program at UCSF, which addresses the  persistent issues that arise from the exclusion and marginalization of non-white patients in medical  research and practice. She is combatting medical disparities due to racial inequality, working to fill education gaps in textbooks and curriculum about non-white skin and training a new generation of  doctors. A graduate of Harvard University and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, she is an assistant professor of dermatology at UCSF where she practices and teaches general dermatology. Jenna's TedX Talk Susan Y. Chon, a 1991 Brown graduate with an independent concentration in children's literature, is a professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Prior to joining the faculty, she earned her M.D. from Stanford University School of Medicine. She then completed her internship in internal medicine and her dermatology residency at Stanford University Hospital. Chon specializes in treating patients with skin cancers, melanomas and skin disorders from cancer treatments. She is a medical educator and an active mentor for medical students and dermatology residents. She is also director of the Skin Cancer Screening and Prevention Program and founded the volunteer physician program for the Brookwood Community, a residential and vocational program for adults with disabilities. Chon is the president of the Brown Club of Houston, helping to maintain the connection between Brown and its graduates throughout the world, and serves as a member of the Women's Leadership Council, Women's Launch Pad and Philanthropy Advisory Group.

Episode Highlights · Why there is a massive racial disparity in U.S. healthcare. · Implicit biases affect the quality of healthcare people of color receive. · How stress and aging take a disproportionate toll on African Americans. · How minority representation in healthcare plays a key role in correcting some inequalities in the U.S. healthcare system. Timestamps [00:53] Welela speaks about poor health outcomes in the state of Texas. [01:58] Welela discusses racial disparity in relation to breast cancer. [04:54] Welela shares why healthcare disparity is sometimes rooted in racism. [08:18] Welela gives an example of how implicit biases affect the healthcare people of color receive.

[13:12] Welela talks about how to correct implicit biases. [14:24] Welela defines systemic racism.

[24:48] Welela speaks about how to help reduce implicit bias in the workplace. Episode Quotes by Welela Tereffe: “A recent study showed that when black women have a black obstetrician, their risk of maternal and infant mortality is something like three times lower. So, why is that? What's the cause of that? I would say it's likely the minimization of social distance, misperceptions, misdiagnosis, inattention, etc. that can happen because of our own implicit biases about people who are a different color than us.” “A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our educational system is really, really important. That will increase the number of people of color who are in healthcare… It's also very important for ensuring that we increase the number of women and minorities on clinical trials. Clinical trials are the way we advance in science.” About Welela Tereffe Welela Tereffe, M.D., is the Chief Medical Executive at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. She's a graduate of Brown University, New York University Medical School, and Harvard University. Her medical specialization is in radiation oncology. Related Resources 1.

Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) is the founder of The American Meditation Institute and originator of National Conscience Month. Mr. Perlmutter's first book, The Heart and Science of Yoga® was endorsed by Dean Ornish MD, Dr. Oz, and Bernie Siegel MD. Over the past 26 years, he has served on the faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and the International Himalayan Yoga Teachers Association in Calgary, Canada. He has taught workshops on the benefits of the conscience, meditation and Yoga Science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and more.  Topics Discussed: What, exactly, is the conscience? Why is it so hard to follow its advice? Where does the conscience get its wisdom? What are the “Four Functions of the Mind?” Where does this framework come from? Do you have to believe in God to trust your conscience? What is the law of karma, and why are thoughts so important to it? You say there are only two kinds of thoughts – can you describe them? Does the conscience really always know the difference? What kinds of problems can be solved by relying on the conscience? Can you give us an easy example of an experiment we can try? How about an experiment that might be a little more challenging? What does one-pointed attention mean? Isn't it exhausting to rely on the conscience all the time? But what would you tell someone who wants to let loose and have fun? What does “ahimsa” mean? What is the Bridge of Yoga? Why should people listen to what you are saying? How does meditation fit into all of this? How can people learn more about your teaching? Links: Leonard's Facebook Leonard's LinkedIn Leonard's YouTube

In this episode of Management Muse, we're joined by Welela Tereffe, the Chief Medical Executive at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Welela talks about strengthening culture in a large organization and what a healthy work culture looks like. Welela also shares how the pandemic taught her the importance of narrative in bringing together people and improving work culture. Finally, Welela shares how COVID caused people to reprioritize their life's goals and strengthen their gratitude practices. Welela explains that by openly and consistently communicating with employees in times of uncertainty, you build trust and strengthen an organization's culture. Episode Highlights: Systems and processes sometimes erect unnecessary obstacles for employees. In times of uncertainty, managerial support is more important than ever. There's immense cultural power in story and narrative. An intentional gratitude practice confers many benefits. Allow employees to correct from mistakes and well-intentioned errors. Timestamps: [1:41] How to impact the culture in a large organization. [2:20] The challenges to instilling a good culture in an organization. [5:05] The most surprising thing Welela learned about culture as a leader. [12:23] The benefits of verbalizing gratitude to one another in an organization. [14:42] The stigma around receiving mental health care, and how it could be overcome. [15:47] Anderson Cancer Center's 'Code Lavender' and 'Code Blue' for managing the mental health of teams. [23:30] Conflicts at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and how they deal with them even in a virtual setting. [28:41] What does it mean to go the extra mile for patients and employees? Welela talks about MD Anderson's initiatives for employees and patients during the pandemic. [33:16] MD Anderson's two-part wellness strategy: address all problems, make sure people feel cared for. [35:48] It takes more than four positive interactions to counteract a negative one—the impact of negativity bias. [39:18] Assume good intent; the vast majority of the people want to learn if they're missing the mark at work. [42:36] Welela explains why, after the COVID pandemic, MD Anderson's employee engagement scores shot up. [44:55] Ramping up employee care and well-being at MD Anderson Cancer Center. [46:18] Key points we've learned from Welela today. Episode Quote from Welela Tereffe: “I think the first thing is to recognize that culture drives everything else, so you have to be thinking about it, talking about it, and moving it forward. You've heard the saying that culture eats strategy for lunch. It eats everything else for breakfast: employee engagement in hospitals, and patient experience. And so much of how we feel about going to work every day is a reflection of our shared norms and behaviors and our sense of engagement on mission. And that's all about culture.” About Welela Tereffe: Welela Tereffe, M.D., is the Chief Medical Executive at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. She's a graduate of Brown University, New York University Medical School, and Harvard University. Her medical specialization is in radiation oncology.

Micronutrient deficiencies are a growing public health concern. In 2019, Cambridge University published a paper concerning micronutrient deficiencies. We've known for a long time that iron, iodine, and vitamin A deficiencies have been a long-term global concern, and now they are reporting that vitamin D, B12, and riboflavin (B2) are added to that list. Micronutrient deficiencies lead to poor health outcomes, and increased healthcare costs. Most people are taking supplements completely wrong. Taking too much, taking not enough, taking supplements that your body doesn't need and how they interact with pharmaceuticals and food is revealed in this episode. Dr. Ron Grabowski is the founder and director of the Houston Sports Rehabilitation and Nutrition Center. He is a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic in Houston, Texas and has over 40 years of clinical nutrition experience, presented over 1500 seminars and lectures on nutrition throughout the United States and in Europe, publishing several articles and a textbook on clinical nutrition.He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition from North Dakota State University, and went on to be awarded his Doctor of Chiropractic degree 1989, and became a professor and postgraduate diplomate lecturer.

First of all, anybody who thinks that your average citizen in the United States today is unaware of the financial double jeopardy of going to a doctor, going to an emergency room, getting a procedure is sorely mistaken. Americans today are well aware of the financial risk that they are taking by seeking healthcare in this country. To illustrate this point, let me read the first couple of sentences from a New York Times best-selling book review: “The illness narrative, ending in financial ruin and decreased quality of life, has become one of the classic 21st-century American stories. In her debut essay collection, Emily Maloney documents the … intersections of money, illness and medicine. For Maloney, the primary experience of receiving health care is not merely a bodily or spiritual event but always … a financial one. She understands … the relationship of money to being ill, … to managing an unfathomable amount of debt.” This is a New York Times best-selling book in the beginning of 2022.  Add to this something I saw Pete Scruggs write on LinkedIn a while back, which I found actionable. He said:   “Patients selling personal items or taking on credit card debt after medical procedures is a failure of creativity in providing healthcare. It is possible to build creative health plans that reduce costs for patients with expensive procedures by giving wise guidance at the time patients need it the most. “It is not enough for insurance to provide access to a wide range of health providers but effectively leave the patient in debt … after the procedures are done. It is possible to buy healthcare so well in the local community that employers can reduce cost dramatically at the time most needed by those using health services.” And lastly, let me quote from a recent article in JAMA by David Scheinker, PhD; Arnold Milstein, MD; and Kevin Schulman, MD, which says, “The financial consequences of an underperforming health insurance market (one that is not holding down … cost … ) diminishes the quality of life affordable to US employees and their families and the financial viability of employers not in the health care industry.”  So, in this healthcare podcast, I am speaking with Wayne Jenkins, MD, who is chief medical officer over at Centivo. Before his move into value-based healthcare about 10 years ago, Dr. Jenkins started his career as a radiation oncologist. He has also served as the chief clinician at a bunch of large health systems. I wanted to have Dr. Jenkins on the show to discuss a recent report which was published by Centivo that methodically dissects how financial toxicity is affecting patients. This includes how it affects choices that employees/patients/members are making both in terms of the care they decide they are willing to pay for or, more likely, the financial risks they're willing to take.  In short, the three key findings of the report are as follows: Workers face mounting healthcare affordability issues, and health plan cost sharing features such as high deductibles are an underlying cause. Just a quick spoiler here: Do you know the percentage of employees who are forgoing buying groceries in order to afford medical expenses left on their shoulders by their high-deductible health plan or by their health plan with excessive premiums? Going hungry isn't just for minimum wage workers. Medical expenses are a significant cause of mental health and well-being issues for both individuals and also families. The conventional wisdom that health plan members will never “trade off” certain offerings for greater savings is simply false. The big takeaway here, though, is that the situation that we have in this country today is not a secret among your average regular American civilian. They do fully understand that by entering a healthcare setting, they are very well trading off, in their attempt to be healthy and going to the doctor in pursuit of that aim, they are trading off their financial well-being. And that financial toxicity actually has health implications. If you can't afford groceries, for example, or your mental health suffers, we get ourselves rather rapidly into a downward spiral, as you may be able to see. Other episodes dedicated to the impact of financial toxicity and possible solutions are in the show notes. I'm just gonna mention here quickly, we talked to Marty Makary, MD, about his book called The Price We Pay (EP242). There's an interview with Marshall Allen (EP328) and then also a very interesting conversation with Mark Fendrick, MD (EP308).   You can learn more at centivo.com.   Wayne Jenkins, MD, is the chief medical officer at Centivo. He is an accomplished physician and executive with a proven track record of patient-centered, revenue-driven results. Over the course of his career, he has consistently transformed large, complex healthcare systems into market leaders that deliver quality and value in a dynamically changing environment. Prior to Centivo, he was the chief clinical officer for population health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he provided clinical oversight of value-based care delivery and completed the formation of Medicare accountable care organizations (ACOs). Before his time at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, he served as the senior vice president and chief strategy officer of Orlando Health, as well as president of Orlando Health Physician Partners. Previously, Wayne was the chief of radiation oncology and then subsequently the medical director for the Florida affiliate of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, a subsidiary of Orlando Health, Inc. Wayne holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee, an MD from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, and a master's of health policy and administration from Johns Hopkins University. He is board certified in radiation oncology and was recognized in Best Doctors in America annually from 1994 to 2015. He has published 18 scientific articles and is often sought out to speak at state and national conferences. 05:23 How is financial toxicity in healthcare affecting patients? 07:02 How do we define a “normal” deductible in today's healthcare? 08:14 What's the point of having a deductible?

We Need More Illustrations of People of Color in Medical Textbooks— The lack of diversity perpetuates health inequality and stereotypes "The consequences of primarily depicting White, lighter skinned individuals with Eurocentric features in medical images supports the persuasive concept of White supremacy. It perpetuates the belief that the White male body is "the standard" to which all other bodies should be compared. It leads to inequality in medical education and further perpetuates harmful stereotypes of Black individuals. As a result, this issue plays a role in inappropriate diagnosis and health management of Black individuals. Furthermore, medical care becomes subjective, discriminatory, and filled with speculatory assumptions based on stereotypes." Jenna C. Lester is founder of the Skin of Color dermatology program at UCSF, which addresses the  persistent issues that arise from the exclusion and marginalization of non-white patients in medical  research and practice.

Read Leonard Perlmutter's book, https://americanmeditation.org/your-conscience/ (Your Conscience). IN THIS PODCAST:Meditation to unlock your mind True willpower The ego Your conscience Meditation to unlock your mindMeditation helps a person to become detached. What that means is by meditating regularly, every day, we learn how to create a space between stimulus and response. In that space between stimulus and response, we find the freedom of action so that we can redirect our attention towards the conscious to determine the true thought to think, word to speak, and action to take. (Leonard Perlmutter)By becoming detached, a person is no longer bound to their emotions and their immediate reactions. Through detachment, people can pause and observe something that happens around them instead of immediately reacting. Meditation teaches detachment, and detachment enables pause, and pause allows people to sit in their peace and decide from a place of stability and calmness, instead of mindlessness and fear-based reactions. True willpowerFrom taking intentional action from the pause, people can direct their energy and focus on the things that they can see genuinely do matter. Therefore, they can practice true willpower, because they can recognize the wise and unwise decisions and are willing to wait or work to make the best and truest decision happen in reality. The more that I do these types of experiments and follow the wisdom of the conscious; I am continuously building the muscles of willpower to do what is to be done when it is to be done, and not do what is not to be done when it is not to be done. (Leonard Perlmutter)The training of meditation can, therefore, be used in every aspect of daily life. The teachings of meditation can be superimposed in many ways, and we can rely on these teachings when making any decision. The egoThe ego is hardwired to the reptilian brain, and the reptilian brain is totally invested in self-preservation, as is the ego … it means that both the ego and the reptilian brain are terribly fearful of annihilation … from the yoga-science perspective, death is merely change and growth. (Leonard Perlmutter)The ego has a limited perspective and so it cannot perceive anything other than what is known to be good. It wants to remain with what it knows, because it fears change, even if what it knows is overly difficult or painful. The ego is often in wrong, but it never doubts. It defines every relationship or life event as either pleasant or unpleasant, and it only wants to serve the pleasant, therefore opposing everything
