Podcasts about difficulties

In this episode I am joined by Ani Pema, an American nun in the Tibetan Buddhist religion and former swami in the Siddha Yoga organisation. Ani Pema recalls her childhood in Boise Idaho, her high flying career in fashion working for Vogue magazine, and how dissatisfaction with the American dream set her on a spiritual search. Ani Pema details her sixteen years of close discipleship and ordination under the renowned Siddha Yoga guru Swami Muktananda, her transformative encounters with the 16th Karmapa, and her subsequent discipleship under Tibetan Buddhist teachers such as Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Namkhai Nyingpo. Ani Pema also explains the powerful phenomena of shaktipat including the severe karmic consequences for its use, reflects on Western shaktipat gurus such as Rudi and Adi Da Samraj, and gives her heart advice for those who wish to follow the spiritual path. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep314-me-my-gurus-ani-pema Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Travis Kelce said one part of his time at SNL was the hardest. Website

Hardship is part of this life. It comes to those who know Christ and to those who do not. Difficulties do not favor one person over another, even though it may look like that sometimes. Because of Christ in us, we have the glorious opportunity to look at seasons of suffering through a different lens. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Reish Lakish explains that if the Jews had not sinned with the golden calf, later generations would not have been born because the Jews would have been transformed into angels. After several objections are raised against this statement, the sages reinterpret his words to mean that the Jews would have become similar to angels in that they would have become immortal, yet still have children. Difficulties are raised against this interpretation as well, but these are resolved. Why is it forbidden to conduct business with gentiles specifically during the three days preceding their holidays? Objections are raised against this three-day restriction by drawing comparisons to Jewish practices before their own holidays. How are these discrepancies resolved?  

The amount of change and questioning our kids face makes teenagers more vulnerable to stress than any other age group. Things that would never bother us as adults can be devastating to a teenager. The stuff we might write off can be monumentally difficult for them to handle or overcome. When you've seen a teenager stress out over a “wardrobe crisis,” mediocre test grade that has no bearing on eternity, or facial blemish. . . you have to wonder what might happen if they would ever face problems of a more severe and significant nature. We can't forget that the adolescent years are a time of change, pressure, crisis, and even impulsive overreaction. While we might be tempted to simply say “get over it” (and there are times where that response might be justified!), it's better to walk through the crisis with them and allow them to express themselves, all the while offering support and the benefit of a more mature perspective.

In this episode, Too Black and Ryan debrief about the National Black Radical Organizing Conference. They were both deeply involved in the planning and logistical process of bringing the conference to Indianapolis. We aim to provide an assessment of the conference, highlighting the complexities involved in planning an event of such scale. Building is important, but how we do it matters. Thus, we also engage in self-criticism to highlight areas for improvement. Although this episode is not about a myth, we strive to dispel some of the bad faith understandings of organizing not only a conference but organizing in general.  00:00:00 -Opening 00:22:41 - Why Indiana? 00:53:35 - Logistics 01:22:31 - Logistics and Difficulties 01:51:50 - P2 Significance  https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths

Originally published May 06, 2021. In this powerful Best Of episode, we dive into the surprising science behind emotional stress and how our brains create outdated patterns in response to life's challenges. Cedric Bertelli, Founder and Director of the Emotional Health Institute (EHI) explains how even the most emotionally healthy among us are shaped by unconscious predictions that trigger stress, anxiety, and depression.   Learn how to shift your emotional state by understanding the brain's predictive mechanisms—and how simply sitting with your emotions, even briefly, can begin to release their grip. This eye-opening conversation offers practical tools for lowering stress and reclaiming control of your emotional well-being.   Guest Bio - Cedric Bertelli is the Founder and Director of the Emotional Health Institute (EHI), which educates individuals and professionals on Emotional Resolution (EmRes)—a method for resolving stress, anxiety, depression, and other disruptive emotions. Since 2009, Cedric has researched and refined the EmRes process, training thousands of adults, including over 200 teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area, to use it effectively. He also works directly with clients and trains mental health professionals, coaches, and educators.   Social media links Cedric Bertelli: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CedricBertelli Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theemotionalresolutioneffect/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emotionalresolution/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-bertelli-%E2%97%87-trainer-in-emotional-resolution%C2%AE-68286224/ Website: www.emotionalresolution.org   Thanks for listening to the show!
