Deontay Wilder begins meditation in attempt to force through Tyson Fury rematch – DAZN News US

Deontay Wilder

Alexander Netherton

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has begun mediation in an attempt to force his trilogy fight with current holder Tyson Fury.

Deontay Wilder has begun a dispute resolution process in an attempt to force a third match between the Bronze Bomber and Tyson Fury.

Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion after defeating the American boxer in February 2020, and a trilogy fight had been anticipated for December 19.

That third fight had been postponed twice, first due to injury and then as a result of the coronavirus, and both the pandemic and a bicep injury to Wilder have been blamed for a third postponement. US broadcasters were also keen to move the fight into next year after other sports restarted, reducing the need for boxing content.

That delay caused Fury to claim he was moving on from the fight and that he considered any contract between the pair to be void.

Fury is now due to fight Agit Kabayel on December 5 in London as he looks to stay sharp, and is expected to take on Anthony Joshua twice in 2021.

According to The Athletic, the first stage of the process is mediation which is due to take place this week with a retired judge looking over the contracts, before coming to a binding judgment.

Wilders manager Shelly Finkel told the site that they were, going into it very optimistically this week, and hopes for a conclusion to the matter before the end of the year.

Fury and his US co-promoter Top Rank believe that the contract between Fury and Wilder cannot enforce a rematch at any given time, and that any bout needed to take place by mid-October. As the 32-year-old had already agreed to a delay until December, they believe there is no further need to deal with Wilder.

That New Universalism: A Smallest Meditation on a Religion of the Heart – Patheos

Posted: at 7:58 pm


without comments

On Facebook religious historian Gregory Holmes Singleton was recommending a book

Edward Baring, CONVERTS TO THE REAL: CATHOLICISM AND THE MAKING OF CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2019.

Along with being a scholar Professor Soingleton is a practicing Anglo-Catholic and offered a small justification for Anglicans to read a book about continental Roman Catholicism. He wrote:

Anglicans in the 19th and 20th centuries, in both Great Britain and the United States, were surrounded by a philosophical tradition that developed from empiricism and utilitarianism to logical positivism, analytical philosophy, and pragmatism. That is far less the case with the Anglo-American intellectual tradition which draws heavily from literature, music, comparative religion, mythology, and drama than from formal philosophy. Anglicans in general and Anglo-Catholics in particular are more apt to opt for poetic expressions of both mystery and ambiguity than the obsession with doctrinal precision. William Blake and T. S. Eilot may well be our patron saints. Alan Watts MYTH AND RITUAL IN CHRISTIANITY may be (at least for American Anglicans) something of a prophetic text.

(Personally I would pair Alan Watts BEHOLD THE SPIRIT with MYTH AND RITUAL as anticipatory of a rather powerful mystical Christianity that genuinely touches my heart. I actually consider these books potentially more important than his writings about Zen. But unpacking that would be a different reflection.)

I found myself caught particularly by Dr Singletons juxtaposition of that traditional characterization of Anglo American thought derived from empiricism and utilitarianism to logical positivism, analytical philosophy, and pragmatism. And that other current, also very much alive, which draws heavily from literature, music, comparative religion, mythology, and drama than from formal philosophy.

I immediately thought of the great Transcendentalist spiritual eruption within the early-mid Nineteenth century New England Unitarian churches. I also felt something of the Zen way.

And a bit more

For me personally it, it, the fundamental matter, and how I engage has always been within a tension existing between that rationalist and that more, I think Ill use the word poetic style of engagement that has characterized much of my spiritual path. And given the professors observation it would make sense, I guess, that I would flirt with Anglicanism, although it also should make at least as much sense that I would end up standing in a place encompassing Universalism (within the Unitarian Universalist communion) and Zen Buddhism.

As I age I am increasingly inclined toliterature, music, comparative religion, mythology, and drama, as informing my spiritual path. Rooted, or grounded in the practices of shikantaza and koan introspection. Here I find the great pointers for my heart. My practice and my obsession. Together with the activated social conscience that informs the current UU world, which I find as an expression of the depths into which Ive been thrown by Zen.

Still, theres something rich and wonderful in being less informed by traditional theologies, as important, and sometimes critical as they may be, and more especially toward comparative religion and mythology and the dreamscape of what in Zen Buddhism we call the Sambkogakaya.

I suspect this is why I feel my life more and more encompassed by the wisdoms of the heart, especially that of Mary and of Guanyin. And to some degree by a Pure Land reading of the story of Jesus.

While I find it increasingly hard to see how we as humans are going to muddle through the messes weve created, if theres a way through, I suspect it will have to do with this liberating love, this unfolding love that can be found in many, most, all of the worlds religions.

And. I do have a hope for a new universalism, expressed in its several ways as our individual hearts call us.

A small hope.

A burning coal.

Perhaps like that fabled mustard seed. Either the Buddhas or Jesuss, they both encompass important angles on the mystery.

For the world. And for each and everyone one of us. And of course within that strange mystery of not one, not two.

A small, broken hallelujah.

A feast that nourishes all of us lost and left behind.

A terrible silence.

A prayer.

A hymn

Burnout in nursing: Are we really supposed to meditate our way out of this? – The CT Mirror

Posted: at 7:58 pm


without comments

Imagine being stuck in the middle of a lake in a canoe with a single set of paddles and a life jacket. Now, imagine that your life jacket deflates, and your paddles shrink ever so much with each stroke you take as you make your way back to shore. Now imagine there is a tiny hole in your canoe. You work hard to try and make your way back to shore, but your resources are being depleted. Despite your best efforts, you are eventually underwater.

That is sort of what it has felt like being a healthcare worker during COVID-19. It is the long hours, extra shifts, lack of PPE, and high nurse-to-patient ratios because the unit is short-staffed. It is feeling drained emotionally and physically. Its burnout. Unfortunately, burnout has been a chronic issue within healthcare and something that hospital leadership has not adequately addressed.

What is burnout? Maslach defines burnout as a psychological syndrome emerging as a prolonged response to chronic interpersonal stressors that can manifest as overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from the job, and a sense of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment. Burnout is nothing new in nursing. A quick literature search will show you that. Burnout within critical care can be attributed to many things, including caring for very sick patients teetering on death, high workloads, combative patients or family members, harsh work conditions, and more.

Hospitals have dealt with this problem by investing in mindfulness. Why mindfulness? Well, studies have shown that mindfulness and meditation can help one manage stress and build resilience. In other words, hospitals encourage staff to meditate mental strength and flexibility into their lives. I would say that nurses are already quite resilient. It would be difficult for a nurse to succeed through nursing school and critical care training without coping skills and mental fortitude. While I see nothing wrong with meditation, I find it is quite interesting that institutions are shifting the sole responsibility of managing burnout onto the individual rather than implementing meaningful change within the workplace. Somehow a nurse who may or may not even have an opportunity to fit in a lunch break should dedicate 15 minutes of his or her shift to mindfulness exercises as a way to manage the lack of resources on their unit.

Burnout leads to increased job turnover; turnover of ICU nurses ranges from 13-20% per year. This can cost the hospital a lot of money. The estimated cost of replacing a critical care nurse is about $65,000. Money aside, burnout can lead to poorer patient outcomes and lower quality of care.

Unmanageable workloads coupled with low staffing ratios, working through an entire shift without a break, and lack of support or resources are all too familiar to ICU nurses. These are issues that cannot be meditated away. I find it insulting to chalk this up to a lack of resilience when it is partially due to institutional shortcomings. Mindfulness cannot grow another nurse to help ease the workload. Mindfulness does not diversify the workplace. Mindfulness does not heal that black eye from the combative patient.

So, where do we go from here? What steps are hospital administrators willing to take to preserve morale during this pandemic and after? What changes can we make beyond this acute phase of the pandemic to ensure resiliency amongst healthcare workers? It will take resources to do this, and I just hope that the hospital administrators can see the value of adequately investing in their employees.

Meditation and Yoga May Reduce Chronic Pain – Theravive

Posted: November 2, 2020 at 1:52 am


without comments

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain, a condition that has contributed to the opioid epidemic in the United States for the past three decades,costing the country billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives. Now, a groundbreaking new study is showing yoga, meditation, and other forms of mindfulness-basedstress reductions may help patients manage that pain.

"People who use opioids have many conditions in common such as pain, depression and anxiety", says author Dr. Cynthia Marske, an osteopathic physician. "These all cause lower life functioning and catastrophic thoughts. Yoga, mindfulness practice and meditation can help the brain and the body work better thus making more of your own chemicals of well being and natural pain relievers. Many people then have the ability to wean off or use less chemicals such as opioids, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications."

This was a small study conducted in Oregon among a semi-rural population. Researchers say issues of affordability, addiction, and access to care are common in that area. They worked with 28 participants who reported having chronic pain for at least one year before enrolling in the study. Researchers say the participants were instructed in mindfulness, meditation, and mindful hatha yoga during an eight-week period. The program focuses on training people to have an awareness of the self in the present moment, and in a nonjudgmental manner.

Following the course, participants reported a significant improvement in depression, disability, and pain scores, with 89% reporting the program helped them find better ways to cope with their pain. Researchers say when looking at the patient health questionnaire scores, a standard measure of depression, the numbers dropped by 3.7 points on a 27-point scale after the program. Dr. Marske says for some, that's similar to using an antidepressant. Chronic pain often goes hand-in-hand with depression, she says, mindfulness-based meditation and yoga can help restore both a patients mental and physical health and can be effective alone or in combination with other treatments such as therapy and medication.

For many patients, Dr. Marske recommends a combination of therapies. She gives the example of trying meditation to help fall asleep, yoga to help with pain control, and a mindfulness practice to help with improved thoughts and attitude.Therapeutic movements such as tai chi and Qi Gong are also effective. Dr. Marske says she'd like to seemore small groups offered in medical practices to teach clients methods like these.

Authors say this was a pilot study, and in the future more larger studies need to explore these outcomes. But, Dr. Marske is heartened by the possibilities they may offer patients searching for a way to cope with chronic pain. "Teaching mindfulness based stressreduction helps people for a lifetime", says Dr. Marske, "and feeds their mind, body and spirit."

7 Meditation Types That Are Perfect for Beginners – Brit + Co

Posted: at 1:52 am


without comments

Pocket doors are so delightful in and of themselves. They appear when you need them, get tucked away when you don't, and make it easy to define rooms while keeping an open floor plan. Add to the pocket door a joyful patterned wallpaper surprise, and you will be sent right into fits of visual jubilation! Or something 😉 Today we're sharing two simple and impactful pocket door makeovers that zhuzh up your space in a jiffy.

Anjelika Temple here, co-founder of Brit + Co and proud owner of several pocket doors! When I moved into my first real grown-up house a couple years ago, I knew I wanted to incorporate wallpaper so reached out to our friends at Chasing Paper to see how we might collaborate. It felt like a total lightbulb moment when I realized I could create a surprise pop of pattern on a couple sets of pocket doors.

Not only is it a whimsical way to bring color into a space, but the doors double as picture-perfect backdrops for all your SFH (selfies from home, obvs).

A few pro tips about install:

In our primary bathroom, we chose the wallpaper pattern Tally, designed by Kelly Ventura, in White and Navy. In our space, the navy reads as a soft black, which is perfect for the space. It's easy to combine an ever-rotating collection of linens with the Tally pattern.

I love how the white trim becomes the perfect frame around this pocket door piece of art.

My favorite moment in this space is the fact that you actually get a third pop of pattern thanks to our serendipitously placed mirror!

And yes, this one works pretty darn well as a backdrop too 😉

This set of doors is definitely a focal point of our home. It separates our living room from our primary bedroom which opens onto our backyard. The doors are pretty much always open, but when they're closed we wanted to evoke a fun, nature-inspired vibe. With that in mind, we selected the Lines and Moons pattern by Thimblepress in Green and Brown.

Earth mama vibes up in here! I love how the shapes and colors echo the ferns you see through the windows and the acorn wood details throughout the house.

Love this pattern moment, and xacto-ing out the door handle is def on the oddly satisfying DIY list.

For a pattern lover like me, I love that now I have this instant photo backdrop!

Thanks to Chasing Paper for providing these rolls of pure pattern amazingness. Head to chasingpaper.com to find our own favorites and start adding patterns to your home!

Share your wallpaper wins with us on Instagram @britandco and find me @anjelikatemple.

The Masks of God: A Meditation on the Feast for All Saints – Patheos

Posted: at 1:52 am


without comments

Out near where my mother in law lives theres a church All Saints Lutheran. They also sport a directional sign for parking. It reads This way for All Saints. And appended under that, And sinners, too

It never fails to make me smile.

And.

Today is the feast of all saints.

It the Western tradition it follows All Hallows eve and precedes the feast for All Souls.

I think of each of these moments, and the various categories they represent.

And I think of that term masks of God.

The phrase, masks of God, was, best I can tell, coined by the comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell. For Campbell God is a metaphor for a mystery that absolutely transcends all human categories of thought, even the categories of being and nonbeing. For me God becomes a hole in the language, into which we place all our treasured hopes and fears. It is the holy ground on which we stand, and the mystery from which we take our being, and to which, in the end, we return.

That phrase masks of God, however, reminds us, what it is that joins us together, what in the last moment, is the truth of our being, what is revealed when the mask slips, what we find, when the time comes to take the costume off. To stop being a ghost or a saint or a soul.

What then?

Well, what Ive found ishow it shows that we are connected. Intimate. Intimate.

I find how even our personal dreams inform each others dreams. And, in fact, our dreams help to weave each others lives.

Intimate. Intimate.

And a revealing of who we really are. Each of us. And each thing. The whole mess.

And.

Of course this week we stand at the edge of momentous decisions for the people in a republic. What our congress will be. What our state houses will look like. Who will be our president. A choice that has never seemed quite so stark.

And of course the many actions that will follow all are in play. So, its not a bad time to remember the deep connections.

The ghosts. The saints. The souls

And the sinners.

All of us.

The masks of God.

Saints

Editors note: Part one of this column was published in the Oct. 28-30 edition.

There was an extra space on a fabulous trip put together by the long established talented folks of Canyonlands Field Institute and I was offered the spot. As a gift. For three days and nights, basecamp was the Recapture Lodge in Bluff with meals and guides and sunshine and red rocks. I did hesitate but we would be outdoors they were all about the protocols for COVID and the lodge gave me a solo room that they aired out for two full days between guests for the sake of the guests of course but as much for the safety of the Navajo maids who clean there. I said yes.

The first night had all of us driving from all our various points Colorado, Utah and even Berkeley, California. We had dinner outdoors, camp style, and a little program by our guides. And then they sent off us with the reminder of an expected meet-up the next morning at 7 a.m.

When I wandered back toward my room across the dirt field above the San Juan River, Mars had shown up all red and ready to show off in front of the Milky Way and a galaxy of stars in this protected dark sky. It was so very clear and not fully cold yet. I kept my head cocked backwards. My naked eyes with limited celestial knowledge knew enough to be in awe. I eventually, reluctantly went to my room.

I kept my head cocked backwards. My naked eyes with limited celestial knowledge knew enough to be in awe.

Morning was crisp and cold but bright. After a cowboy outdoor breakfast we drove onto permitted BLM sites where we learned about terra firma and the people who walked there before us. The Sleeping Ute the name of a natural long low mountain feature in the Four Corners area, was easy to spot. We stood in the middle of the middle of nowhere, and from there you could see Monument Valley, Navajo Mountain and even Shiprock. There were 360 degrees of clear air and the hundreds of miles of just red rocky nature was dizzying. So were the pottery shards and pieces of tools left behind by primitive cultures. One of the guests picked up a piece of pottery and turned it around in his hand and then discarded it in another spot. I spoke without a filter and with the voice in my head of a Navajo medicine woman who once said to me dont disorient that which comes from the land or you may find yourself disoriented. The guest looked at me and the guide nodded.

After lunch we peeled off from the main group because neither of us do well with rules. The sister of my heart who once worked with me as the star reporter for The Park Record and later followed me as editor led me on her own version of choose your own adventure. Sena has spent all her life (except that Park City chapter) living and loving in Moab. Her family had explored this region for decades. She wanted to show me a different agenda than the one the rest of the group was going on. So we lit out in the Valley of the Gods and climbed up a crazy dirt road that led us to the ledge of Cedar Mesa. And since we were so close about 40 miles is close in the desert we decided to head over to Natural Bridges. Some paved roads most not.

We stopped at the Natural Bridges to look at the incredible rock walls sculptured by wind and rain. We saw all the juniper berries in full and a raven that wanted our attention or at least our snacks. I think I want to come back as a raven, Sena said. I said I saw her more as an eagle. Oh no, she said, eagles have so much responsibility. Raven are the tricksters, they have all the fun. And she tossed a snack at the bird who flew over and snapped it up. He might have winked at her.

Sena now manages a horse ranch with her kind husband, John. It is on land forever preserved on the Colorado River about 20 miles outside of Moab. She manages wranglers and guests and during COVID her business that at first froze has exploded. She spends days and nights showing folks the world over the beauty of the rocks and river. On this trip someone else was in charge of the adventure.

The next two days included a Hopi guide who took us up washes where water once ran and now are rutted and filled with endless soft red dust. We would drive for over an hour and cover maybe 6 miles. Lyle was from Third Mesa of the Hopi Reservation and his girlfriend from Second Mesa. He talked to us about his ancestors and the ruins. We saw ancient dwellings and rock art. He connected the spiritual piece of the Hopi sites to the powerful Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. We felt the mystery and magic of those beliefs.

When I left on the third day to head up to Boulder, Utah, Sena urged me to try a different route and drive to Lake Powell and take the ferry from Halls Crossing to Bullfrog. Her father had been the director of transportation for the state of Utah for years (in addition to being the publisher of the Moab Times Independent newspaper where Ed Abbey once wrote letters to the editor when he was a park ranger at Arches). So I took that different drive and was so grateful even though the road was paved I didnt see three cars in a hour. I did stay alert because the land was open range and cattle wandered the road freely. The short ride on the ferry was comforting a gentle rocking in the primitive prehistoric, time-forgotten area made me curious about who might have once lived there under that Rainbow Bridge.

What the trip to those Canyonlands gave to me was the thing I didnt know I desperately needed. It renewed my sense of wonder. And that has been in short supply most all of my 2020 Sundays in the Park
