Podcasts about tranquility

Story 21 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . Marcus Aurelius, the great Stoic philosopher, makes it clear how important it is to be present: “The longest and shortest lives amount to the same, for the present moment is equal to everyone.” Just one mindful moment is all you need to stand firm against the habitual temptations to engage, to follow, to blindly react to greed, hatred, and delusion. narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 4 minutes 19 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

This week, Alan, Quinta and Scott were joined by Allies host and Lawfare associate editor Bryce Klehm! Together they talked through the week's big national security news stories, including: "Remember the ‘90s?” Nine months have passed since the Taliban seized power in Kabul, and its promises of a more moderate rule than the harsh theocracy it oversaw in the 1990s are increasingly ringing hollow. Just this past week, the Taliban issued a new edict directing women and girls to cover everything but their eyes while in public and discouraging them from leaving their homes. Is there any chance of the Taliban changing tack? And how should the United States and others engage with them? “A Shooting in Buffalo.” An 18-year-old shooter who targeted and killed black shoppers at a supermarket this past week appears to have been radicalized online by a version of “replacement theory,” which has been echoed in rhetoric by mainstream right-wing political figures ranging from Tucker Carlson to Elise Stefanik. How should platforms and policymakers combat such radicalization to prevent more violence?“It's Coming from Inside the House.” The Jan. 6 committee took a dramatic step earlier this week when it issued subpoenas to five House Republicans who had refused to voluntarily participate with its investigation, including minority leader Kevin McCarthy. Why did the committee take this step now? And what are the odds it will lead these members to cooperate?For object lessons, Alan endorsed Emily St. John Mandel's newest piece of sci-fi literature, "Sea of Tranquility." Quinta celebrated the miraculous recovery of her house plant. Scott encouraged listeners to check out an overlooked and underappreciated chapter in the Muppets' oeuvre, the 2015 adult sitcom "The Muppets." And Bryce recommended an old television show folks might not have heard of called "The Sopranos" for some insight into mafia-style management.And everyone encouraged listeners to check out the newest podcast series from Lawfare and Goat Rodeo, Allies, which does a deep dive into how the decade-long failure of the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program led the United States to leave so many allies behind following its withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Welcome to Nature Sound Retreat… You are currently listening to Celtic ENCHANTING Garden: A Timeless Place of Tranquility and Peace | 432Hz. When it comes to music, there is no greater medium for calming the mind and body. Concentration, relaxation, sleep aids for coping with anxiety, stress and even depression. Have you ever just wanted to lie on a beach, eyes closed and take in the sounds of the tropics? The resonation of a tropical beach ambience mixed with that of waves washing ashore is the perfect stress relief after a long day at work, study, decision making and even restful sleep. The same process takes place with the sounds of nature, birds in deep forests, waterfalls and rivers – All have the same calming effect, aiding focus and sense of wellbeing. Nature Sound Retreat's music stimulates the brain into a specific state using subtle pulsing sound to encourage your brain waves to align to the frequency of the beat. It helps induce enhanced focus, entranced state, relaxation, and sleep. NSR blends well the very best of elemental nature, Celtic music, orchestra and mostly percussion free classical compositions specifically targeting the effects desired as outlined above. Various ancient healing frequencies are utilized: 432Hz, 963Hz specifically, and combined with binaural beats, ASMR nature sounds, Alpha and Delta waves – enable listeners interested in deep sleep, stress relief, yoga, study music for focus and concentration, massage music. But there is more to Nature Sound Retreat for those who like to watch and not only listen. We combine meditation music with beautiful imagery, stunning landscapes and hypnotic Kaleidoscope videos that will take you on a journey of deep relaxation. Proponents of our music receive these potential benefits: Reduced stress and anxiety Increased focus, concentration, and motivation Improved confidence Better long-term memory after exposure to beta pattern frequencies, according to a 2019 study Deeper meditation enhanced psychomotor performance and mood The most elemental state of vibration is that of sound. Every organ and every cell in our body absorbs and emits sound with a particular frequency. When two frequencies that resonate at the same vibration meet, the law of resonance comes into action. When that happens one source of frequency is moving energy to the second source of frequency - just like in a forest when one tree moves water to another tree. When we let our body absorb Healing Music, we retune ourselves. We absorb new and fresh energy, from the source of the frequency, which is the unified field, the cosmos. Music creates resonance in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. Tune into Relaxation! Nature Sound Retreat was created to bring the best meditation music and nature sounds to inspire, uplift and spread healing energy to the world. Our music utilizes the ancient healing frequencies – the miracle tones that heal. Featuring 432Hz and 963Hz frequencies, binaural beats, ASMR Nature Sounds, Alpha Waves and Delta Waves for Deep Sleep, Stress Relief, Yoga, Study Music for focus and concentration, Massage Music and more. Let our meditation music and nature sounds be your guide to recharging, relaxing and rejuvenating your mind, body, and soul. Use our calming Sleep Music Playlists for quality deep sleep…they are an ideal way to combat and beat insomnia. We combine meditation music with beautiful imagery, stunning landscapes and hypnotic kaleidoscope videos that will take you on a journey of deep relaxation whilst watching them.

“Station Eleven” by Emily St. John Mandel was published in 2014. That book imagined the world after a pandemic had wiped out, well, almost everyone. It's a gorgeous novel with a particular emotional power: it helps you grieve a life you still have. But then came a real pandemic, not as lethal as the one Mandel imagined, but a shock nonetheless. And “Station Eleven” — already a beloved international best seller — found a second life. Mandel became known as a pandemic prophet. “Station Eleven” became an acclaimed HBO Max series.“Sea of Tranquility” by Mandel is written from within the hothouse of that strange kind of celebrity. The author put a version of herself in there, struggling with fame and parenthood and quarantine and too much travel. But there are also moon colonies, and time travel, and hints that we live in a computer simulation. If “Station Eleven” explores how calamity could change the world, “Sea of Tranquility” wonders what happens if it doesn't.This conversation begins in the weirdness of the simulation hypothesis, but winds its way to much more fundamental questions of being human right now. There is so much we could lose, so much we already have lost; why is it so hard to live with the gratitude our lives should inspire, or the seriousness the moment demands?Mentioned:“The Power of Patience” by Jennifer L.

April 26, 2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of Landscape Architecture in America. Olmsted only designed one cemetery, Mountain View in Oakland, California, early in his career.

In 2014, after years of writing in relative obscurity, Emily St. John Mandel published a breakaway novel. “Station Eleven” was a huge hit, selling more than 1.5 million copies and receiving critical acclaim. It was even made into a television series by HBO Max. Eerily enough, “Station Eleven” was set in a world confronting a global pandemic. Her new novel, “Sea of Tranquility,” is also set in the future — and the past — thanks to a time-traveling narrative the weaves together five centuries across space and time. This Friday, as part of the Big Books and Bold Ideas conversation, MPR News host Kerri Miller stepped into the void with Mandel. They talk about the folly of time travel, how hinge moments are often recognized only in hindsight, and the constant contingency of living. Who would we be if we weren't ourselves? Guest: Emily St. John Mandel is the best-selling author of five novels, including “Station Eleven” and “The Glass Hotel.” Her new book is “Sea of Tranquility.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.
