Does your baby dance too..?

Music has a direct correlation with baby’s neuronal growth.

Are excited your pregnancy and new arrival.. in the family,
we all celebrate with music, music itself is symbol of celebration and expression since ages,
each and every moment when can composed will become a song of life isn't it..?
music has been a part of our life style in ancient days, as our ancestors knew its importane
so now we will try to learn deeper how important it is to listen and if possible learn music during pregnancy, as music needs creativity ,which stimulates many parts of human brain and helps in establishingbetter neuronal connections and improves body and mind coordination.

The peculiarity of music is that while poetry and the literature must rely on the rational transport to inspire an emotion, since they are mediated from words, music omits this stage and points directly to stage of communicating emotions. Music does not pass through rationality to express its essence, it crosses right to our emotions.

Classical music affects the brain’s organization and abilities, through its melody and rhythm. The rhythm raises the level of serotonin produced in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, involved in the transmission of nerve impulses that helps maintaining joyous feelings. When the brain produces serotonin, tension is eased. In fact depression is a consequence of the scarce production of this hormone. Serotonin is released when the brain is “positively shocked”.

Various studies conducted over the past two decades have demonstrated the ability of the fetus to hear sound. The inner ear is fully developed in last trimester of pregnancy. By 26 weeks, most respond with an increase in heart rate to sound stimulation. Many studies have pointed to the change in heart rate as a positive sign that the baby is stimulated by the music.

Most of what the fetus hears is the mother's voice and internal sounds of the mother's body, such as breathing, movements and other sounds. There have been many studies that suggest the mother's voice is the preferred sound of newborns, who appear to recognize their mother's voice at birth. Singing along with music makes sense because it gives baby the opportunity to hear your voice and music.

It makes sense that stimulation of the brain with music would have a positive effect. It is when the baby is growing in the mother's body that the majority of brain development occurs. The idea behind research into music exposure during the pregnancy is designed to enhance the development of the brain with appropriate stimuli. Research continues into this subject and determining which music has the most positive effect.

There is some evidence to suggest the type of music may influence the baby's response. Soothing, classical music and nature sounds are believed to be soothing, while louder types of music may startle the baby.

 It's important to note that there are no long term studies that demonstrate listening to music in the womb will influence the baby's intelligence or translate into success in learning later. However, this idea is based on anecdotal evidence that classical music stimulates different areas of the brain, which is thought to stimulate better connections in the brain. The hypothesis is that the increase in connectors will result in enhanced memory and information processing functions of the brain later. This theory has yet to be proven with research, and may or may not turn out to be the case.

Whether or not exposure to music will make baby smarter, there is some evidence to suggest soft music, such as quiet classical music and nature sounds have a calming effect on the baby. This often continues after birth. Many babies are soothed by the same soft music they heard during the pregnancy and recognize the rhythm. Several studies have demonstrated the newborn's ability to recognize certain music selections that were played during pregnancy.

Music benefits mom by helping to her to relax or lifting a low mood. That is good for the baby because research has demonstrated that baby is affected by mom's emotions. So, choose music that you find relaxing and not too loud. Loud music is not good, as it can startle the baby. A general rule of thumb is to keep the music to the level that is played in stores.

Do we choose our parents ??

Have you ever thought why we choose only this parents when there could be millions of other human beings on earth spread across the globe.??

Did you ever notice your parents hail the best possible situations to nourish you as a soul, their soul maturity and living conditions and location shape your life according to your purpose of life and what you give back to the world is all what you experienced before your adulthood...!

As a child when your parents and society remained unconditional and gave you abundant love and freedom you replicate the same, but the one who experienced fear, guilt, shame, hatred share joy and happiness..?

How can one share what they didn’t experience .??

That’s the reason every civilisation and culture emphasises on infant care and child care and children are considered divine and are loved and pampered and given freedom to explore.

So now let’s learn the reasons for choosing same family lineage by the soul to evolve.

The reasons for choosing a specific family and parents is what make me utmost surprised as i have been noticing ever since my childhood that the learning of the parents and their children are very much related and sometimes they handle a problem in much evolved way, for instance  a parent with emotional baggage may have a child who gets emotional quicker and in the process of parenting the parent learns his/her lessons in teaching the child.
i understood in my journey that as a family we evolve with some common goals in lifetime which can be achieved by mutual help and they would learn in their souls journey.
Hence prenatal phase is utmost crucial in understanding oneself to evolve faster and learn..!!

Importance of activities for infants

Do you know your child brain grows to 50% of its size by age of 6 , then the question arises what to do to make my baby smarter...??

Today let’s learn about few things to be done to prevent neuronal pruning and help the baby to reach its best brain functionality in following ways-

1) Music- yes you heard me right, research show a deep correlation between music and brain growth, any instrumental music which is soothing is helpful, Mozart or Carnatic stringed instrumental or flute , as music have direct impact on brain mappings, more frequent the music heard more are established neuronal pathways and connections in the brain, that means more is the brain capacity to absorb and analyse and retain information from outside, a brain with higher IQ has more established neuronal paths.
Some of the researches from various hager been mentioned below-
In her study, Rauscher found that college students that listened to 10 minutes of Mozart before a series of tests gained up to 8 spatial IQ points. ... While the link between Mozart and smart babies has yet to be proven, that hasn't stopped researchers from studying the effects of music on a newborn's brain development.

"Music has a tremendous organizing quality to the brain," notes Don Campbell, a classical musician who has written more than 20 books on music, health and education, including The Mozart Effect® and The Mozart Effect® for Children. Referencing French physician Alfred Tomatis's work in music therapy on children with dyslexia, attention-deficit disorders and autism in the mid-20th century, he believes music that's not highly emotional or overly rhythmic has a multilayered influence on the individual, from modulating mood to alleviating stress. "I know it improves our ability to be intelligent," he adds.
As most Indians are aware that in Carnatic music we are aware that every raga has distinct emotional impact which can be brought in us just by listening can how can we deny impact of music on human brain..???
