Music for the soul






  


Just as Food gives our bodies the energy it requires to function on a daily basis, that's the same way our soil needs music. 

Music gives the soul the energy it needs. It is a mix of vibrations and sounds that comes together to create rhythm and hence an eclectic mix of energy. Music acts as food for the soul rejuvenating it, filling it with vitality.

Music is fun, relaxing, motivating and energising. It has a profound impact on our mind and bodies. 

The reasons below are why we can say it's food for the soul 

1) Music precedes language. How often have you heard a piece of music in another language and been mesmerised by the sound you hear? This is because music is universal. Irrespective of language, a good piece of music will uplift your mood even if you don’t understand the meaning of the lyrics. Similarly instrumental pieces are often considered to be more inspiring. Our brains are said to be wired in such a way that we understand music irrespective of age, language or culture.


2) Music connects with your subconscious. When you find yourself tapping your feet and bobbing your head with the beat of the music playing without even realising you are doing so is where the subconscious comes into play. Music is embedded into one’s personality and very few people can claim to not like music. 

3) Music helps you sleep better. A lot of people suffer from irregular sleeping patterns these days and also from insomnia. Increased stress in diverse and hectic lifestyles has been known to cause fitful sleep not good for one’s health at all. Listening to music before sleeping especially classical, soft music is said to help one sleep better.



4) Children love music.  Children learn faster with the help of rhymes and poems set with catchy tunes. Even the alphabet is taught with the help of the famous Alphabet Song. Children learn better through music, art and dance. 


5) Music affects us emotionally. We often associate our moods with a particular song or a particular genre of music. A dance music number can fill you with energy and a slow number can put us in a relaxed state of mind. Certain pieces of music make one feel a certain type of way as music affects our emotions directly.


6) Music connects people. Music was a not only an activity which offered people a break from their routine life but it also helped people bond with each other improving social relationships. No wonder they lived happier and longer than the current generations!


7) Music makes everybody happy. You will barely find anyone who claims to not like music. Not only is it a good way to connect and socialize with people, music motivates people by putting them in a positive state of mind making them happy. 

8) Music improves your creativity. Music is said to impact brain functioning positively. This directly increases productivity and creativity of a person. 

9) Music makes you smarter. One often finds themselves singing along with old songs one hasn’t heard in years.

Not only does music help in reducing stress, it makes one happier. Music is available in all forms all around us and we should use it to our benefit and incorporate it into our routines to make our life a better and a happier one.

RULES FOR A GOOD PASTRY

  Pies and pastries are made up of chicken pie, turkey pie, meat pie, fish pie, mushroom pie, etc. For us to be able to make a good one, their are basic rules we need to follow:  1. keep ingredients and utensils as cool as possible. 2. Use a large bowl rather than a small basin for short crust pastry so that you will have enough air space. 3. Sieve the flour with salt before mixing. This lightens the dough. 4. When rubbing fat into the flour, lift hands as much as possible so that air is introduced into the dough. 5. Rub in fat only with forefingers and thumb.

A lot of people prefer self-rising flour for short pastry, especially when the proportion of fat is decreased. If you are successful with self-rising flour, do not change . For richer pastry, it is wise to use plain flour. 7. The consistency of the dough is very important. Be careful not to make it...
