Podcasts about breathing lessons

I couldn't resist the subtitle, kids, sorry. It's not that shocking—but Tim's journey was definitely only for the bold.I've known Tim Grahl—or known of him—for more than a decade. I watched him help writers like Dan Pink launch their non-fiction books onto the best seller list, and devoured and followed his excellent advice about launching my own books (which you can find here at booklaunch.com). Then I watched—or rather, listened—as he pivoted into the world of fiction, enlisting editor Shaun Coyne to join him on a podcast and help him use Coyne's Storygrid method to work on what eventually, after many revisions and a whole lot of failing in public, became Tim's first novel, The Threshing. At the same time, he and Shaun were building Storygrid into what's not just a business, but a huge community of writers and editors. He's just published his second novel, The Shithead, a very different book from the first… I call it The Firm meets The Alchemist; Tim prefers Fleishman Is In Trouble meets Faust. Both work. We talk Tim's sideways journey into fiction, and then we talk craft—in particular, how to learn what you don't know, the myth of the lone writer in a cabin and the importance of feedback and then we dig into a passionate discussion of theme.You can check out The Shithead here.

Are you a shallow breather? An anxious breather? How often are you consciously aware of your breath? Have you ever paused, on purpose, between breaths - just to feel how precious and urgent the process of breathing is to your being?  “Are you breathing just a little”, as Mary Oliver once wrote, “and calling it a life?” There's so much we can learn about ourselves when we take the time to tune into our own bodies and our own breath - which is actually Life itself, ceaselessly breathing through us.

Our Event Friday message this week is lifted from the Fall 2020 series of the Gap Center for Biblical Studies featuring Mark Talbot: When the Stars DisappearHelp and Hope from Stories of Suffering in Scripture. Dr. Talbot's experience of suffering gives him a heart of empathy for anyone who struggles to understand the hard ways of God. Based on his book, When the Stars Disappear, Mark uses stories from Scripture to offer the clear practical and theological guidance that suffering believers need to move forward in hope. Listen to Dr. Talbot as he offers comfort with the assurance that we are never alone in our suffering, but sustained by our ever-loving Savior.

Being a good girl was a major part of Eileen Greene's upbringing.  What she recognized as she got older was that the messaging she had absorbed growing up was wrapped in negativity.  Recognizing that these internalized messages were completely contrary to the person she truly wanted to be, Eileen embarked on a journey that led her to unlocking her true self and in turn gave her the tools to help others do the same.  Eileen will inspire you to have a fulfilling life and career, regardless of your chronological age. She's an empowered and fearless woman who strongly believes that there's no age to achieve your goals and dreams.  After raising three sons,  Eileen went on an unrelenting campaign to educate herself and experience life to the fullest.  She's one of the first people to be certified in NLP by Tony Robbins. She is a TedX speaker.  Eileen has lectured about sex at high schools for Planned Parenthood.  She is a certified hypnotherapist.  She was bar mitzvahed.  She received her Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology at the age of 75 and completed a two year program in volunteer work from University of Judaism. To top it off,  she is also certified in interior design. Now at the age of 93, Eillen is an active life coach using hypnotherapy and psychotherapeutic methods to help her clients. What You Will Hear in This Episode:  Eileen's personal story  Growing up with a lot of integrity but a lot of negative messaging Helping people through hypnotherapy How Eileen evolved and unlocked herself   Messages we consciously or subconsciously absorb Rewriting your script and the power of the words “I Am”  The ability and challenge of forgiveness Breathing  Lessons learned about self The common theme in Eileen's life Advice for women to pursue their goals and dreams regardless of age Quotes “It's never too late until it is.” “ I realized that I wanted to give back and I realized that wasn't happy the way I was internalizing things. So I found the need to rewrite the script.” “Negativity is a poison the brain feeds the body and by saying certain words you are reinforcing the negativity.  So it is necessary to rewrite the script.” “It's really important to give forgiveness to yourself and to others.” “Love is so important. Acceptance is so important. Not everybody is what you want them to be.” “The important thing is to want to improve yourself."

Dr. Nick and Dr. David interview Dr. MeiLan Han about our lung health and the impact that our respiratory health plays in our overall vitality. We discuss: - Three common misconception about our lungs - Simple and inexpensive testing to measure your lung health - Advancements that have been made since the pandemic - 3 most common lung diseases and how we can avoid them - COPD and lower respiratory diseases being the third and fourth leading cause of death globally - and more.... Dr. MeiLan K. Han, professor of medicine and chief of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Michigan and spokesperson for the American Lung Association and author of her new book, Breathing Lessons:  A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health, knows that speaking about our lungs might not be the sexiest of topics, but with the frightening impact of COVID-19 on our respiratory system and the even more frightening unknown long-term impact it may have, now is the time to have a frank discussion on our lung health. In Breathing Lessons, Dr. MeiLan K. Han takes readers on a fascinating tour of this most vital organ. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body's first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks―including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2―and offers a practical guide to keeping lungs healthy. And with authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, she argues powerfully for a social policy that makes a priority of preserving lung health nationwide. MeiLan K. Han, MD, is professor of medicine and chief of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Michigan and a spokesperson for the American Lung Association. She received her medical degree from the University of Washington in Seattle and completed her residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Michigan.

The psalmists provide us with breathing lessons for exhaling our pain and grief to God and then inhaling his promises as well as remembering what he has done for us in the past.

This special episode features Dr. MeiLan Han, a Professor of Medicine and Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan and author of the book Breathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health. Dr. Han shares her perspective on the impact of COVID-related respiratory issues and how this emphasized the importance of healthy lungs and the vital role they play. She talks about her background in pulmonary care and why her desire to better educate patients (and other physicians) on lung health led to writing Breathing Lessons. The discussion also touches on research data insights, measuring lung function as people age, the use of spirometry testing, and advocating for improved public policy on lung health. In addition, Dr. Han highlights the importance of expanding patient conversations beyond just addressing complaints to also focusing on awareness of environmental and socioeconomic factors that contribute to lung disease as well as practical, preventative steps patients can take to reduce risks.

Meilan Han, MD is a Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan, and a spokesperson for the American Lung Association. She is the author of a recently released book, “Breathing Lessons, A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health.” In this episode Dr. Han describes how the lungs function, what can go wrong with them, lung development and why we need to pay attention to how we treat our lungs during their development phases, what medical devices she uses, her advice for companies developing technology, and why we should be testing and monitoring a fifth vital sign. Links from this episode:Meilan Han, MD LinkedInUniversity of Michigan Division or Pulmonary and Critical Care MedicineBreathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung HealthMastering Medical Device:WebsitePat Kothe LinkedIn

Anne Tyler is a novelist and short story writer. Her 23 novels include the Accidental Tourist, Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Breathing Lessons. Anne was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1941, the oldest of four children. Her parents were Quakers and the family lived in a succession of Quaker communities in the South until they settled in a Quaker commune in Celo, in the mountains of North Carolina in 1948. When she was 11 the family moved to Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, where Anne attended a mainstream school. Anne majored in Russian literature at Duke University in North Carolina where she enrolled in a creative writing class run by the author Reynolds Price. After completing her studies she worked as a librarian in the university library. Anne's first novel, If Morning Ever Comes, was published in 1964 when she was just 22-years-old.

Your feedback will help shape the podcast!So many of us take breathing – a vital bodily function – for granted because it happens on an unconscious level. So much so that we're oblivious to how our lungs work or what factors could potentially put us at risk. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death of both men and women in the United States. Chronic lower respiratory disease is the #4 cause of death. Nearly 37 million Americans live with chronic lung disease. With those stats in mind, it's critical that we understand not only the circumstances that lead to respiratory illness and disease but to learn about and apply preventative measures to protect your lungs over a lifetime. Today, I speak with Dr. MeiLan Han in-depth about respiratory health.

(5/5) “Theology matters. Proper doctrine is crucial. The Scriptures first and foremost is profitable for doctrine before it can even be practiced or lived out. Proper theology, in truth and in grace, as rooted in the the proper handling of Scriptures, shapes the entirety of a man's life, making him “complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Thus, Jesus was indeed clear when He declared that the Word of God is Truth. And this Truth sanctifies His people (John 17:17). Theology shapes the whole man; Truth is for Life. Your life and influence will very much depend on the very truth you stand on and enjoy. Go back to the Bible and then do not go anywhere else.” The church is having some difficulty breathing. She is choked by the world thinking that the world is her Lord and Savior: something that Satan has far too long lured her from the very beginning. Satan tried to lure Jesus into kneeling and bowing down to him and promised him the whole world, and Jesus rebuked the devil. How? He held on to the Word. Our Lord knew where the battle lines are drawn. The moment the church bows down to the world, that's where our downfall begins. Take time to listen and challenge yourselves to really dig deep into the Word of God and so obey it out of your love for the God of the Word. This is Breathing Lessons - Part 5. Stay tuned in!

(4/5) Chapters 3 & 4 of Paul's second epistle to Timothy are the last known chapters that the apostle Paul wrote before he died. In it, we see Paul's crucial words, given to his disciple Timothy and also echoing towards us who are leaders, pastors, ministers, or simply members in the church. Take note, Paul writes here, that the last days will be marked by a great deluge of worldliness: the people will do everything out of their love for the world and will do almost anything to disregard the Word. Satan tried to lure Jesus into kneeling and bowing down to him and promised him the whole world, and Jesus rebuked the devil. How? He held on to the Word. Our Lord knew where the battle lines are drawn. The moment the church bows down to the world, that's where our downfall begins. Take time to listen and challenge yourselves to really dig deep into the Word of God and so obey it out of your love for the God of the Word. This is Breathing Lessons - Part 4. Stay tuned in!

(3/5) About to be poured out as a drink offering, Paul shares his final moments writing for his disciple Timothy to come to him. Here, he writes his sharp words, a charge not only to Timothy but to all the ministers and leaders in the church to seriously - preach the Word. While the world is going from bad to worse, Timothy is charged to live a godly life through being serious in living for and equipping the church with His God-breathed Word - not for the entertainment of the goats' itching ears but to feed Christ's sheep. Even when everybody would love to be tickled for entertainment, the pastor should know that his primary job is a life-and-death call to rightly divide the Word of Truth as the sanctifying agent of the church and nothing else. Take time to listen and challenge yourselves to really dig deep into the Word of God and so obey it out of your love for the God of the Word. This is Breathing Lessons - Part 3. Stay tuned in!

(1/5) We are living in perilous times. In fact, the apostle Paul, on his last letter (his last written words), gave an imagery of what the world will look like “in the last days” (2 Tim.3): it will be times of difficulty (v.1), believers will be persecuted as they choose to live in godliness (v.12) and everyone will go on from bad to worse. What was Paul's final charge to his beloved disciple and son in the faith? This same charge to Timothy by Paul is the very same charge of God towards His church. Take time to listen and challenge yourselves to really dig deep into the Word of God and so obey it out of your love for the God of the Word. This is Breathing Lessons - Part 1. Stay tuned in! #CrossRadioPh #BreathingLessons2020 [CrossRadio S01E27] Solus Christos.

(2/5) Paul understood very well that in ministry, people will desert you and leave you behind because you will have contrasting loves. Today, meet Demas. See how both he and Paul parted ways in one of the most painful of all departures: one left for the world, one for the Word. This is why Paul longed for Timothy's companionship and also because he wanted to charge Timothy with something very important, something to warn this young pastor to not go where Demas went, to preach the Word more than anything else - in fashion or out of fashion. Take time to listen and challenge yourselves to really dig deep into the Word of God and so obey it out of your love for the God of the Word. This is Breathing Lessons - Part 2. Stay tuned in!

On earth we breathe in oxygen, which feeds life and breathe out carbon dioxide which doesn't. A lot of Mindfulness instruction has to do with guided breathing “now breathe in deeply for 4 seconds, hold it, out for 4 seconds.” It helps to be guided until you get the hang of it. Our spirits need to breathe as well. The oxygen of the spirit is the breath of God Himself and it's closer than you think!
