"Everybody's Fancy" - Mr. Fred Rogers; an extended version for modern times. Endocrine Disrupting chemicals; trauma warning, death of a trans youth is discussed..
May 04, 2023 00:24 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB"Everybody's Fancy" is a song by Fred Rogers which he performed on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood children's public TV show. He was gifted in imagination and in sharing it with others in person or through the new-fangled medium of television. He started in the very early days of programming. The song is about boys and girls and how our bodies are different but equally just great the way they are. I added a few stanzas for our modern times and think the song is still very relevant. I do not have Cop...
COVID UPDATE: What is the truth? - Blaylock
May 19, 2022 19:14 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBRussel L Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, has recently published an overview of the COVID-19 policies and their effects on health and death. The details are grim and lengthy but will be familiar to those who have been following alternative news sources for the last two years. Others may be surprised by the devastating story as it is described. Truth is important, and making it available as an audio version seemed important to me, for people who would rather listen to a long article than rea...
Salt to taste.
March 20, 2021 20:57 - 14 minutes - 13.8 MBLet appetite become your educated guide towards good health. Our taste bud receptors are found not only on our tongue, but also in many organs and cell types throughout the body. They sense our body's nutrient levels and signal our brain to let us know we should be hungry for more of something. There are five main types of taste receptors - sweet, salty, sour/acidic, bitter, and umami - a protein savory flavor of glutamate and a few other free amino acid activators of that type of chemical...
Ether Pop - Universal Consciousness
December 14, 2020 16:09 - 3 minutes - 2.96 MBEther may be the life energy known as Chi or prana. It flows like water and is attracted to water. Ether is part of us and everything, and is throughout the universe. It has been measured in a few different ways by scientists in the area of astrophysics and in life sciences in humans and plants. It can be seen as blueish light in wet sand occasionally and may be the healing force in a wet sand or mud pack. Physics took a wrong turn in 1887 and is still on that wrong path of thinking that ...
Ether Pop
September 03, 2020 05:50 - 5 minutes - 5.24 MBEther energy fills our universe and us and everything. It may be the force behind gravity with two vectors of flow supporting a planet or moon in addition to the orbit path around the sun. Ether energy can be healing and is attracted to water and coalesces and spirals in a flowing water like pattern. We can see the path in spiral Nebula in outer space. Love and gratitude is appreciated, the energy force seems to also be our collective unconscious - universal oneness understood by many to b...
Infection, Panic, Self care, and Unity.
March 31, 2020 07:20 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBFear in a fearful situation is sensible but can become disabling if it causes you to freeze into indecision or panic and make poor decisions. The current risk of infection from the novel SARS-CoV-2 strain of a coronavirus is real and fearful, especially for people working in essential services where there is a lot of interaction with others, and for people in high risk groups for having a more severe case if infected. The simple point that I find comforting is knowing that when well nouris...
Fear and Immunity
March 16, 2020 22:46 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBFear of infection is instinctual. We have a natural reaction to get away from anything that seems disgusting - which includes slimy, sticky, yellowish-green things that may be reminding us of spoiled food which can be a risk of infectious disease, or of nasal mucus which can also be a source of infection. Fear may also tend to make us pretend there is no risk which wouldn't help us survive or a fear reaction of fighting might occur or trying to seek someone to blame - which also wouldn't nec...

Love Flavor and Fragrance
March 01, 2020 03:38 - 23 minutes - 22 MBThis Bonus episode, Love Flavor and Fragrance, includes beneficial foods that help reduce inflammation - which may help reduce obsessive thinking and make forgiving - letting go - a little easier, by reducing excess calcium and NMDA receptor activity. Too much inflammation can lead to over-activity of NMDA receptors which can cause excess dopamine which may cause compulsive thoughts or behaviors, (willie 2014), and over the long term may be part of the degenerative problem leading to Alzh...

January 22, 2020 00:17 - 6 minutes - 6.16 MBTrailer: Curiosity, an overview. Is curiosity an emotion? What are emotions anyway? Main Episode: Curiosity and Intrinsic Motivation.

Curiosity & Intrinsic Motivation
January 18, 2020 18:37 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MBThe feeling of curiosity may be similar to intrinsic motivation - an internal drive to explore, learn, practice and improve skills. We may have more intrinsic motivation or curiosity about something when we have two things: competence - the challenge is reasonably matched to our current skill level - it would be achievable with some effort, and autonomy - freedom to try without severe risks linked to any potential mistakes.

Mindfulness - calm during the storm.
January 10, 2020 17:33 - 8 minutes - 7.94 MBMindfulness and meditation practice can help the brain learn to react more calmly at anytime. Mindfulness need not be thought of as mysterious, it may be as simple as taking time to smell the flowers while you are on a walk - being present in the moment. Attitudes that can help with developing mindfulness habits were described in a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn, MD: Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness, Review: (goodreads.com). Eating m...
Crankiness - lack of sleep
January 10, 2020 14:59 - 9 minutes - 8.44 MBCrankiness from being overheated and thirsty or dehydrated may be bad for health, and for a good night's sleep - which might be part of the cause of the health risks. Our brain is cleared of toxins during sleep hours. During normal sleep the body and brain are cooler than during awake hours, and the brain is smaller in size which allows more fluid movement and white blood cell activity. The white blood cells' autophagy and apoptosis functions are more active in the brain during sleep hours. ...

Crankiness: hot, thirsty or hormonal?
January 10, 2020 14:43 - 3 minutes - 3.2 MBCrankiness can be due to many reasons that are physical, internal, rather than an external reason like someone else is purposely rattling their silverware too loudly just to bother you - no, they are probably just eating normally and you are overly irritable right now and we tend to look for a reason for a feeling. Sometimes the reason is us - in our own body. Crankiness might be due to being too hot, too thirsty, or too hormonally out of balance. Female or male hormone balance can affect mo...
Perseverance and Self control
January 09, 2020 05:29 - 5 minutes - 5.31 MBEmotions may have to do with motivation, and learning self control and perseverance along with the value of rewards and changing strategy as needed or correcting errors to increase reward. The dACC part of the brain, the dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex, may be a center for processing input from other areas of the brain that have to do with current physical sensations, thoughts, and emotional feelings. Happiness and positive emotions may be motivating us to do more healthy behaviors that mig...

Hangry and hanxious
January 05, 2020 01:17 - 8 minutes - 7.91 MBHangry is that angry feeling that can occur when you missed lunch and dinner is still a long way down the road.

Koko and Climate Despair
January 02, 2020 04:04 - 10 minutes - 10.2 MBNegative emotions may help motivate us to change when old strategies are no longer working.

Freezing in plain sight might help against a predator that tracks motion but wou...
