Question

【题目】

Everything in the universe is made up of atoms, the universe is full of sound and we being part of the universe are therefore full of sound. The world of music and sound has no space and no time or limitations. Sound is one of the initial senses to awaken in the womb (子宫). It brings the intricate (错综复杂的) and awe-inspiring world to us while we live, and is the last sense to leave us as we die.

Everything has a frequency—even our feelings, words and actions carry a frequency. In today's society, we are constantly exposed to an ocean of "foreign" frequencies such as noise pollution, television, radio and so on, which negatively affect our own natural resonance (共振), including our immune system. It is then vital for us to regularly rebalance our energy field in order to remain in good health.

We are responsible for everything we listen to. The power of music and sound can produce beauty and inspiration, or can be destructive, violent and painful. Listening to highly dramatic classical music-especially the kind full of trilling "peaks and valleys"—can cause the brain to arouse the release of endorphins, chemicals that lead to pleasurable feelings. However listening to relaxing music and imagining calm scenes is one of the best ways to ward of migraines (偏头疼) and stress. That's why we see such positive effects from calm music.

The "Mozart effect" studies indicated that one area of cognitive processing increased after listening to this music for a period of time. However, this does lead to speculation that listening to certain types of music will develop and improve mental function. Many people express an increased ability to concentrate when certain background music is played.

Music has nonverbal imaginative, structural and emotional qualities that can inspire and lift a person into a higher reality of health and happiness. Sound stimulates all of the senses and involves a person at many levels. Music and sound therapy is broadly use in the treatment of people of all ages who have problems of a mental, physical, and emotional nature. Listening to and making music reduce heart rate and blood pressures, stimulates various types of brain activity, and provide people with a sense of calmness, safety and even security.
