  • Own: Oprah Winfrey Network November 2012 Highlights
    OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK NOVEMBER 2012 HIGHLIGHTS Visit www.press.discovery.com/us/own for select episodic photography and screeners NEW SERIES & SEASONS (P) Denotes: Premieres “Married to the Army: Alaska” (60 Minutes) Series Premiere - Sunday, November 18 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Airs Mondays (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Beginning November 19 Alaska is home to more than 10,000 active-duty soldiers, about 7,000 of whom were deployed to Afghanistan over the past two years. The war in Iraq may be over, but it continues in Afghanistan and for those families whose loved ones are still gone, life during deployment is challenging, especially in Alaska, an assignment the military considers as demanding as an overseas post. For the men and women whose spouses serve in the U.S. Army, deployment is not just an abstract word heard on the evening news. It's real, it’s tough and it turns their world upside down. Military wives find themselves in a unique sisterhood. The tightest of bonds are formed over fears of deployment, realities of Army life and the emotional roller coaster of homecomings – all set against the backdrop of the rugged, demanding and extreme conditions of Alaska. (P) Sunday, November 18 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Episode: The Hooters Comment Was Offensive While the Brigade Commander’s wife Yolanda tries to promote sisterhood among the battalion wives, Traci and Lindsey battle over Army wife etiquette, and Sara’s housewarming takes a troubling turn after the women hear news of a communications blackout down range.

  • Oprah Winfrey: De New Age Hogepriesteres
    Oprah Winfrey: de New Age Hogepriesteres W.O.L, Update 11-5-2010 (1ste pub. juli 2008) Het volgende komt uit het nieuwe 500 pagina’s tellende boek The New Age Tower of Babel, ver- krijgbaar bij Way of Life Literature. (Ook verkrijgbaar in een 9delige DVD reeks) Alle Schriftaanhalingen komen uit de Statenvertaling (1977 of HSV) Vertaling en voetnoten door M.V. Weinig dingen illustreren de dramatische toename van de New Age invloed zo sterk als Oprah Winfrey. De bijzonder succesvolle televisie talkshow host, actrice, producer, activiste en zakenvrouw, Oprah Winfrey (geb. in 1954) wordt genoemd: “a really hip and materialistic Mother Teresa”, “a symbolic figurehead of spirituality”, “a moral monitor”, “America’s pastor”, “today’s Billy Graham” (USA Today, May 10, 2006). Haar televisieshow is de hoogst genoteerde en langstlopende televisietalkshow in de Verenigde Sta- ten. Hij loopt sinds 8 september 1986, met meer dan 3.000 episodes (“The Oprah Winfrey Show”, Wikipedia). Haar show heeft 49 miljoen kijkers in 122 landen en praktisch elk boek dat zij aanbe- veelt bereikt de toprang van de verkoopscijfers. Haar O magazine bereikt 3 miljoen lezers. Ze ont- vangt 10.000 brieven en 4.000 emails per week. Haar website wordt 1,3 miljoen keer per dag be- zocht. Een Gallop poll onderzoek stelt haar op nr. 4 van de allerbelangrijkste vrouwen in de ge- schiedenis. Winfrey is een van de meest invloedrijke promotoren van New Age thema’s in de wereld van van- daag, en wat we goed moeten noteren is dat zij tegelijk haar christelijke erfgoed niet geheel ver- werpt.

  • A Case Study of Mindful Breathing for Stress Reduction
    JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INTERNET RESEARCH Zhu et al Original Paper Designing, Prototyping and Evaluating Digital Mindfulness Applications: A Case Study of Mindful Breathing for Stress Reduction Bin Zhu1,2; Anders Hedman1, PhD; Shuo Feng1; Haibo Li1, PhD; Walter Osika3, MD, PhD 1School of Computer Science and Communication, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden 2School of Film and Animation, China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China 3Department of Clinical neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden Corresponding Author: Bin Zhu School of Computer Science and Communication KTH Royal Institute of Technology Lindstedtsvägen 3 Stockholm, 10044 Sweden Phone: 46 723068282 Fax: 46 87909099 Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: During the past decade, there has been a rapid increase of interactive apps designed for health and well-being. Yet, little research has been published on developing frameworks for design and evaluation of digital mindfulness facilitating technologies. Moreover, many existing digital mindfulness applications are purely software based. There is room for further exploration and assessment of designs that make more use of physical qualities of artifacts. Objective: The study aimed to develop and test a new physical digital mindfulness prototype designed for stress reduction. Methods: In this case study, we designed, developed, and evaluated HU, a physical digital mindfulness prototype designed for stress reduction. In the first phase, we used vapor and light to support mindful breathing and invited 25 participants through snowball sampling to test HU. In the second phase, we added sonification. We deployed a package of probes such as photos, diaries, and cards to collect data from users who explored HU in their homes.

In order to write this book, I first had to study up on genetics and the issues involved. Then I had to try to explain them in a way that other newcomers to the subject could understand, without making terrible errors. It was a difficult task! I am therefore indebted to the members of the AAAS Advisory Panel (listed on page 82). At an all-day meeting in the spring of 1995, they steered my away from my original outline toward the book you find here. Many months later, several panel members provided very useful reviews of the manuscript. For this, I would like to thank Ruth Allen, Jeffrey Botkin, Ron Cole-Turner, Robert Cook-Deegan, and Joan Weiss.

  • 22. MEL PATRICK the Author of This Site and the Book "Egocentricity and Spirituality"
    22. MEL PATRICK The author of this site and the book "Egocentricity and spirituality" is not a guru, an enlightened being, a Jivanmukti or a Jnani (a realized person who holds sacred knowledge). He teaches nothing nor organizes sessions of meditation and Satsang (talks about spirituality and non-duality). He isn’t more or less "awakened" than anybody else when he doesn’t sleep in the arms of Morpheus. He doesn’t claim to be free from anything and doesn’t think to have realized the Self. He doesn’t live in Nirvana or in a world of non-duality, and even less in a fourth dimension of pure consciousness or in heaven, but on earth as all other human beings. He’s actually a very normal and ordinary human being and not God, the Self, the universal consciousness, stillness or an ocean of bliss. He writes to share his experience with other seekers of truth and what is according to him good for humanity. As a matter of fact, he is a seeker of truth and that’s why he doesn’t hesitate to denounce the delirious abuses of spirituality (especially in the non-duality circles) that we can witness today in the West. His initiation with Swami Girdanandaji from Uttarkashi and study of Advaita Vedanta with Mr. Brahma Chaitanya from Gangotri enable him to have a relatively clear idea of what is meant by the term "non-duality". And it’s precisely this subject that he wishes to introduce to the reader, subject based on an experience he has lived and very clearly described in the section "Experience" dated the 4/2/2012.

  • The Natural Power of Intuition
    THE NATURAL POWER OF INTUITION: EXPLORING THE FORMATIVE DIMENSIONS OF INTUITION IN THE PRACTICES OF THREE VISUAL ARTISTS AND THREE BUSINESS EXECUTIVES by Jessica Jagtiani Dissertation Committee: Professor Judith Burton, Sponsor Professor Mary Hafeli Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 16 May 2018 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2018 ABSTRACT THE NATURAL POWER OF INTUITION: EXPLORING THE FORMATIVE DIMENSIONS OF INTUITION IN THE PRACTICES OF THREE VISUAL ARTISTS AND THREE BUSINESS EXECUTIVES Jessica Jagtiani Both artists and business executives state the importance of intuition in their professional practice. Current research suggests that intuition plays a significant role in cognition, decision-making, and creativity. Intuitive perception is beneficial to management, entrepreneurship, learning, medical diagnosis, healing, spiritual growth, and overall well-being, and is furthermore, more accurate than deliberative thought under complex conditions. Accordingly, acquiring intuitive faculties seems indispensable amid present day’s fast-paced multifaceted society and growing complexity. Today, there is an overall rising interest in intuition and an existing pool of research on intuition in management, but interestingly an absence of research on intuition in the field of art. This qualitative-phenomenological study explores the experience of intuition in both professional practices in order to show comparability and extend the base of intuition, while at the same time revealing what is unique about its emergence in art practice. Data gathered from semi-structured interviews and online-journals provided the participants’ experience of intuition and are presented through individual portraits, including an introduction to their work, their worldview, and the experiences of intuition in their lives and professional practice.
