  SPEAKER_01: Appreciate you all first time, part time, some of the time, all of the time.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Continuing in our sojourn of two daily audio shows, Spotify video were applicable.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: And the YouTube channel remains Bill Holt at Bill Holt8792.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like us, share us, give us a thumbs up.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: More importantly, where you're comfortable in doing so, please do subscribe.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: We're blessed with worldwide exposure.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: 14 years of podcasting overall.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: We continue to grow one star seed at a time under that premise.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yours, mine, ours, theirs, his, hers, ours.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: Communally arm and off.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's the mindset of all my guests.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: My longtime repeat monthly guest, Byron Athene.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Co-hosting with me since 2023.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: He'll make his next appearance at the end of the month, the last Thursday of.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Today we're gonna segue right in to another edition of the Main Daily Digest.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Workouts for Geriatrics, aka Silver Streakers, got a couple questions for y'all start out with.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever noticed how your body immediately reacts when you hum Sing?
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: You're all gonna be graced in a moment.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: Or change your vocal tone.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: So kidding around, but kidding aside, have you ever noticed how your body immediately reacts when you hum, sing, or change your vocal tone?
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: What's one daily ritual that you rely on when you need to instantly clear stress and reset your focus?
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Leave your comments below if you'd like to play along at home.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Today what I'm gonna do is what I've been doing pertinent to SBS Seth Leif.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: Prusansky, and as he likes to joke around, he's now and always Seth Leaf.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: But he goes by Seth Leaf because everybody seems to struggle with Prozansky last name, whatever.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: But Seth Leaf Przynski known Seth for a little bit over a decade.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Been following pretty much everything that he's done and does to since that time frame.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: What do I want to try to do here for oh ten minutes or so is talk a little tiny bit about kind words and then end on practicing the S tones from phase one, phase two that Seth has offered and made available to all of us since February.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: And wherever you may come in, do let us know when you're part of the intuitive ghosts that I'm blessed to be members of, are doing his program, are familiar with it, what you may do, what you have done, we get a little feedback.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's the epitome of the patchwork quote.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: And what we operate on here, yours minors, your input, your intuitive groups, so the human psyche neurochemistry in human language it's always been deeply tied to emotional and physiological regulation.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Hearing kind words, whether the words are affirmation, gratitude, quiet encouragement, pat on the back, congratulations, what have you, does trigger a distinct biochemical response.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: The actual neurochemical shift, those of you that have followed the show for a while, we've talked about the human body book many times, and we've isolated all the body organs involved in what we're about to do.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: Kind words to actually release oxytocin.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: I like to call myself the porcelain junction box, and I am electrical energy wise, meditation, heart brain coherence.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Here, another form of bonding that a junction box would bond in an electrical current sent in household wiring.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: Here, oxytocin or oxytocin, oxytocin is the bonding hormone.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Dopamine is the reward and motivation.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: The rats cheese in the maize, if you will.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: And serotonin is the mood stabilizer.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: So concurrently, they lower blood levels of cortisol, reducing the body's stress response.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: We've talked a lot about the vagus nerve for years.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: The vagus nerve activation, the sound of a compassionate, soothing voice stimulates the vagus nerve, lowering heart rate and shifting the autotomic nervous system from fight or flight to the rest and digest.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: So self-concept of memory that I intertwine on how I have been doing this before I knew Seth, not in the SVS, the way he encompasses it and has been practicing it for a while.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now that's also blessedly so in my reference.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: So the sound of a compassionate, soothing voice stimulates the boggas nerve.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: Words shape the internal narrative.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Words are all I have to take your heart away.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: Early Bee Gees in the 60s.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: The Bee Gees disco was great too.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Topics that we've talked about for years.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: Indeed, reinforces positive self-efficacy and resilience.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Byron Athene, my longtime repeat monthly guest, psychotherapist, psychoanalyst from the United Kingdom, we did a whole show on resilience.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: So while self-directed, kind excuse me, kind words, positive self-talk, they physically alter neural pathways over time.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: Animals, rocks, trees, humans, they hear us.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Some humans scare us.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: We're working on that.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: Grab a bogular.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: But the vocal tone, safety, and biological harmony.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: While animals don't necessarily decode syntax the way that humans do, they are indeed master interpreters of acoustic properties, biofields, and micro intentions.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Acoustic modulation.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Animals definitely read the pitch, the cadence, the harmonic structure.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: Low, harsh tones signal threat or dominance in the animal kingdom.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas soft, rhythmic higher frequency vocalizations signal safety and non-aggression.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: And most assuredly in a domestic pet situation.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: Those of you that follow the show and wonder why I'm doing these gestures.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't had companion pets.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: When the last of my brother cats, Brady, recently passed a couple of months ago.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: They're always with me.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: So keep coming, breath stress reduction in the wild.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: My new pets and my animals that are coming out of the woods with all the construction and whatever around the house being driven out of their natural environments, their domain.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: But studies actually show that when dogs, horses, cats, shelter animals hear gentle, reassuring human speech.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: I spent fifty years in the business long ago and far away.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: I saw it.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: I've seen it.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: I did a lot of work with rescue pets, animals, and humans.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: And I've been a pet owner since I was a child.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: Their resting heart rates drop.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: Tails wagging or air relaxing behaviors increase, and behavioral anxiety decreases significantly.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Bonding and cooperative behavior, gentle speech builds trust, allowing animals to release hypervigilance, accept medical care, probably more so in a domestic pet environment, and form cross species social bonds in the wild.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Vegetation, sound frequencies, vibrations and bioresonance, while plants, in and of themselves, lack a central nervous system, they are intensely sensitive to environmental vibrations, acoustic sound waves, and human presence.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you can still hear the low frequency of the flow music in the background, acoustic frequency and somatical somatical response words spoken gently produce smooth sound waves typically between a hundred hertz and a thousand hertz.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Research in plant acoustics shows that specific sound frequencies stimulate the opening of stomata, the microscopic pores on plant leaves, which enhance gas exchange, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: The mechosensory pathways, plant cells contain mechanoreceptors similar to touch centers and sensors that respond to mechanical vibration.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: Gentle acoustic vibration promotes cell division, root elongation, and enzyme activity, whereas harsh noise or silence can leave growth stagment.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: Take your grandmother, your uncle, your grandfather, your cell, whomever that grows plants and talks to the plants.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: And those of us that talk to the animals and the plants and the rocks.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: The human connection, speaking kindly to plants often coincides with mindful care, attentive watering, gardening, what have you, checking the light levels, gentle handling, creating an optimal ecosystem where both the living organism and the environment thrive simultaneously.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Would daily sustained vowel sound and vocal resonant exercises help lower stress and improve the bogal tone?
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: Sustained vocal resonance and deliberate vowel tones stimulate the bogus nerve, specifically the recurrent laryngeal nerve branch that innervates the vocal cords in the pharynx.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: Physical acoustic vibration created by the voice massages the tissue surrounding the bogus nerve in the larynx, larynx, and the chest, signaling the parasympathetic nervous system to slow heart rate, reduce cortisol, and elevate vogal tones.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: So before I have shown you memory palaces where I've hand drawn out the human brain as best as I can, isolating the parts to coincide with Seth's SVS, and actually filled in the parts on my mind maps with green marker to coincide with the green areas in the SVS videos of Ceth in phase one, phase two.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: The bogus nerve activates an activation, lowers heart rate and shifts the body to rest and digest.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: So if you envision the human brain right now, if you're playing along, at the very top of the cranium, and just about in here in the human brain is in the key stressor.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then as you go around the back lobe, is the sympathetic nervous system, which is the fight or flight.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Then there's the vagus nerve, if you will, which it actually comes to your heart rate, and there's bronchiodilation, so there's arrows coming up from coming down, if you envision that and circling your body.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: Then to the left, with this profile, if you created a profile, the parasympathetic nervous system on the left again still rests and digests, the slow diaphragmatic breathing activates the vagus nerve, the heart rate, the bronchial dilation, and on and on it goes in a circular motion with an arrow depicting straight to the heart in that diagram.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: Let me see if I can reach one.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: Y'all know that I'm not an artist.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: So here's what I'm intimating, and I'm gonna close out and I'll continue this at my audio shows.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: And if you go around in the flow, practicing the diaphragmic exercises that I'll enunciate at the audio show, starting to phase out, just firing out a couple of vowel sounds that are detailed in the SVS training.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: AH opens the chest in the heart, deep chest and lower throat, it opens the airway and creates deep thoracic resonance that stimulates the cardiac plexus and main trunk of the bugus nerve.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Take a smooth diaphragmatic breath in through the nose, forecast, and release a low steady bow moving around.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Then the OO slash O M O Solarplexes and M abdomen placement mid torso and deep abdominal cavity.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: The mechanism requires sustained subgalactic pressure engaging the diaphragm and abdominal wall.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: This pressure, gentle pressure, massages the sub diaphragmic vogal nerve pathway.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Inhale slowly and exhale with a rounded oo.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: I repeat this six or eight full cycles several times a day, and I'm in the works four-way workouts for geriatrics, aka silver streakers, two walking from one to ninety-two silver streakers.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: Sustained bowel exercise, combining it with a C to Gong workout.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: So I think we'll leave it there for now.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: Make it a safe and productive day.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: Bye bye for now.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: May God bless.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Peace, everybody.
