Healing at the Speed of Sound

Music Could Heal

After reading a book titled "The Mozart Effect", I've always believed that music has the power to heal. However, I believe that only certain types of music could heal, for example, healing music that could bring out deeply-buried emotions, because such music (to me) could provide a cathartic outlet. 

And Music Could Also Oppress

On the other hand, from my perspective, heavy metal music sounds oppressive and therefore, isn't suitable for people who are dealing with addictions. And by extension, it isn't suitable (in my opinion) for those who are in any kind of bondage as well. 

Healing at the Speed of Sound

I'm currently this book, Healing at the Speed of Sound by Don Campbell and Alex Doman. Don shares about the effects of sound (including music) on our lives and our overall wellbeing (that is, according to my understanding of the book.)

Music for Business?

Don was saying something to the effect that music could influence businesses as well. For example, the type of music that is being piped in or played at the background could determine if customers will buy more or less.

So What's My Takeaway?

My takeaway from reading the book, Healing at the Speed of Sound, is that I should be very mindful of the type of music or sound that I allow in my life, as it could have a huge impact on my overall wellbeing.

Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
