We may live in different place, different state, different country but we a got together by music. Would you agree if say like that? Yes, music is a good companion which helps us to express our feelings. It may be any form of music but we may feel accompanied with music rather than being lonely. Let me tell you about how music has an great effect on us.
Music is something that we enjoy as a part of our life. It accompanies us from birth to death. During our childhood, our parents and grandparents used to sing songs to make us sleep. Crying is a kind of music. When we woke up, we can hear the birds chirpping and trees rustling which is the most lovely feel in the morning. Music is everywhere, all we need is to open our ears to listen to it.
One who knows to create music on their own with musical instruments is called a Musician. The different music instruments include – Percussion, Brass, String, woodwind and keyboard. Brass music instruments are played using mouth. Those instruments include Trombone, Trumpet etc. String music instruments give rythym to music and those instruments include Guitar, Veena, Violin etc.
Some musical instruments
Percussion musical instruments gives main beat and feel to the song and those include Drums, Tabla, Dolak etc. Woodwind instruments are made of wood and they are also played using mounth like brass instruments and these instrument include Flute. The keyboard consists of keys which has high pitches.When you add another voice to an instrument, it is called singing and is a vital part of the music. When people who play different instruments come together to play them together, it is called a band.
There are different genres of music such as rock, pop, classical, blues, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, etc. All of these genres of music are characterized by how the instruments work together. Rock music is often louder and is played using percussion and string instruments. In Jazz music, Saxophone is very popular. In this modern world, the newest genres of music is electronic dance music (EDM) which consists of loud percussive beats and is very popular to young people.
We all have our favorite music director, singer, band, etc. Music is a universal language that unite people regardless of boundaries. This has the sense of familiarity among the people. Eventhough, we don’t understand the meaning of the lyrics of a song, we like it because of the tune and voice. Music is not just a sound but a communicable language which makes feel good. I love to hear music when am alone. But I used to play music when I am with my friends and family and it unites us very much. Listening to your favourite song can completely uplift your mood if you are feeling down. Everybody has their own kind of music that they love, which is why it is special to us all in our own unique ways.
My best advice for you is to enjoy the music when you are alone and enjoy more than that when you are with your family. This feel cannot be explained in words and you’ll understand by experiencing it. Often hear songs; make everyone around you happy. Be happy; lead a helathy life.
Hypnotherapy is an adjunctive technique that utilizes hypnosis to aid in the treatment of specific symptoms or health conditions. Hypnotherapy works by inducing a hypnotic state marked by waking awareness that allows people to experience detached external attention and to focus on inner experiences. It is sometimes used as part of a treatment plan for phobias and other anxiety disorders. It is also sometimes used for pain management, weight loss, smoking cessation, and a variety of other applications. Formal explorations in the therapeutic uses for hypnosis began in the late 1700s but did not gain scientific credibility until much more recently. Modern researchers have further explored how hypnosis can be used, which conditions it can treat, and how effective it may be compared to other treatments.
What Hypnotherapy Can Help With
There are many different reasons why a person might want to try hypnotherapy. Research suggests that some possible applications include:
Chronic pain conditions
Dementia symptoms
Nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy
Pain during childbirth, dental procedures, or surgery
Skin conditions, such as psoriasis and warts
Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Hypnotherapy may also be used by licensed physicians and psychologists in the treatment of conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Benefits of Hypnotherapy
Some people may experience dramatic results with hypnotherapy. In other cases, people may simply feel very relaxed. Some of the benefits of hypnotherapy may include:
Awareness: Some people remain fully aware during the entire experience. They recall everything that happens and are even able to have conversations while under hypnosis. Other people may experience states of relaxation that are so deep that they may even feel detached from what is happening.
Focus: Most of the time, we are distracted by our surroundings. Whether the TV is blaring, your kids are demanding attention or your spouse wants to talk, it can be difficult to fully focus on yourself. Our conscious minds are also cluttered. You may be worried about paying a bill, concerned about an upcoming project, or planning tonight’s dinner. The therapy session is intended to break through these day-to-day concerns and allow you to focus completely on the problem at hand.
Relaxation: In the hypnotic state, you are deeply relaxed. Your conscious mind is quieted, allowing your unconscous mind to deeply focus on your issue. You are also calmer, and therefore more receptive to facing your problems or fears.
Most hypnotherapists utilize a series of calming messages, such as “you are safe” and “no one can harm you” to reassure their clients that during hypnosis they can objectively face their problems without having a panicked reaction.
Effectiveness
The effectiveness and impact of hypnotherapy can vary based on the individual and how the treatment is used. Hypnotherapy has been shown to have some degree of efficacy for certain applications, particularly:
Pain reduction and control during dental procedures and childbirth
Reduction in nausea and vomiting in individuals being treated for cancer with chemotherapy
Reduction in the severity of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
While it may help people cope with problems related to stress and anxiety, it may be best applied when used in conjunction with first-line treatments such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and medications.
Things to Consider
While hypnotherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, that does not mean that it doesn’t pose some potential risks, such as:
Hypnotherapy can produce false or distorted memories in some cases.
People who are very suggestible may experience a decreased sense of personal control while under hypnosis.
Some people can experience side effects such as anxiety, headaches, or dizziness.
Hypnotherapy may not be appropriate for people who are experiencing symptoms of psychosis such as hallucinations and delusions
Common Misconceptions
Hypnotherapy is still considered controversial, as many mental health professionals dispute its effectiveness. There are a number of myths and misconceptions about hypnotherapy that can affect how people view this therapeutic tool.
Hypnotherapy is often confused with stage hypnosis. Stage hypnotists are performers who are excellent at reading people. They seekextroverts who will put on a great show for the crowd. Whether or not their subjects are truly hypnotized is debatable, but they are willing to go along with the sometimes outrageous suggestions of the stage hypnotist.
Hypnotherapy doesn’t cause you to forget what happened. You will remember the things that occur during your hypnotic state, you will not be asleep or unconscious, and you will be able to break the hypnotic trance at any time.
Hypnotherapy doesn’t cause you to lose control. During hypnotherapy, you remain in control. It is not possible for anyone to force you to do anything against your will, even under hypnosis. You will be tuned in to the work at hand, and so may not pay attention to your surroundings, but you will always be in charge of your own actions, behaviors, and statements.
Being hypnotizable doesn’t mean you are less intelligent. While some people believe that they cannot be hypnotized, research suggests that most people are hypnotizable to a certain degree. Only about 10% of people are difficult or impossible to hypnotize.

Déjà vu is the sensation of having been in the same scenario previously. This is a French expression that literally means “already seen.” Although some people interpret déjà vu in a paranormal context, conventional scientific methodologies dismiss déjà vu as “precognition” or “prophecy.”
Experts estimate that two-thirds of us have experienced déjà vu at least once in our lifetimes. While there appears to be no gender difference in the occurrence, age appears to be a factor. Déjà vu occurrences decrease drastically as people become older; in fact, most reports come from persons between the ages of 15 and 25, prompting some to speculate that déjà vu is linked to brain development. We now know that the brain isn’t fully formed until the age of 25, maybe even later. People with a greater level of education and socioeconomic status, as well as those who see more movies and travel frequently, are more likely to have déjà vu. These statistics make sense if déjà vu is all about recognition based on familiarity: Travel is more prevalent among those with greater incomes, and it allows them to see new physical sites that may create a sense of familiarity. However, just because something can’t be remembered doesn’t imply the memory isn’t still ‘in there’; it usually is, and it’s just not being accessed. These kinds of recollections could be the source of déjà vu’s sensation of familiarity. Deja vu is also more likely to occur when a person is stressed or tired, according to research. According to a 2010 study, people who remember their dreams regularly have greater déjà vu occurrences. Dreams have a reputation for being unreliable guides to reality. When you combine that with our brains’ already flawed memory system, it’s easy to understand how the two could interact to generate a sense of familiarity; perhaps you dreamed it, or something similar. Dream déjà vu is actually referred to as déjà reve, French for “dreamed before.” Approximately 86 percent of college students polled in a study report recalling events from their dreams. Cleary says this happens when you have a dream about something you’ve done, but just recall the dream, not the action itself.
Because déjà vu is so unpredictable, researching it has proved tough. That’s why some scientists are focusing their attention on epilepsy patients’ brains, particularly those who have recurrent déjà vu during the “auras” that occur right before a seizure.” Patients with epilepsy who have déjà vu are more prone to have seizures in the medial temporal area of the brain. This part of the brain also handled memory. In these investigations, patients report two sorts of seizure experiences: one is a feeling of déjà vu familiarity, and the other is a more vivid and comprehensive remembrance of a past occurrence. This is referred to as déjà vécu, or “having already lived.” Some argue that the two are related, with déjà vu being a low-level kind of failed recollection.
People face an extreme, irrational and persistent threat of water known as ‘aquaphobia’. It’s a fairly common fear which differs in severity from person to person. Traveling through waterways, going near swimming pools, water bodies or even entering a bathtub might seem life threatening to some people.
Aquaphobia is a specific phobia. This is an irrational fear of something that doesn’t cause much danger. You may have aquaphobia if you find that any source of water causes you an excessive amount of anxiety. This can include a swimming pool, a lake, an ocean, or even a bathtub.
The most common cause of aquaphobia is a previous negative experience. If you have been through a near-drowning experience, shipwreck, or even a bad swimming lesson, you are more likely to develop a phobia of water. Learning to swim is a rite of passage for many children, and frightening experiences are common.
The word “thalassophobia” refers to a fear of the ocean or other large, deep bodies of water. Thalassophobia is different from aquaphobia, which is a fear of water itself. Aquaphobia can include a fear of being in any body of water, including small ones.
Some of the more common symptoms of aquaphobia include: an immediate feeling of intense fear, anxiety, and panic when thinking about water. a persistent, excessive, or unreasonable fear when exposed to water. recognizing that the fear of water is excessive or out of proportion to the actual threat.
Aquaphobia is highly treatable. Exposure therapy and CBT are effective treatments that help reduce feelings of fear, anxiety, and panic in people with specific phobias.
We all are familiar with the term Pollution and have heard and observed it lot of times. But here , I want to discuss different types of pollution’s effect on our Environment and health. whether it be air pollution, water pollution , noise pollution ,soil pollution or any other pollution. it has some serious effect on our environment.
As we all know that pollution is an undesirable change in the physical or chemical change in our environment due to accumulation of harmful substances and these substances who causes this pollution are called pollutants.
Now let us discuss some adverse effect of different types of pollution in our environment :-
Effects due to air pollution: it is the one of the most common pollution it is caused due to unwanted particles in air. Major pollutants are carbon monoxide, oxide of Sulphur, hydrocarbons ,carbon dioxide etc.
Carbon monoxide : carbon monoxide has a damaging effect on us. it has affinity with haemoglobin and forms stable compound , due to which oxygen capacity of haemoglobin reduces.it can cause headaches, exhaustion and other effects . it can even cause death.
Oxides of Sulphur : it causes breathing difficulties and diseases like asthma and bronchitis. It is also harmful to plants and animals. Sulphur dioxide with Sulphur trioxide and water forms Sulphorous acid and Sulphuric acid. which causes acid rain. acid rain can damages various buildings plants and aquatic life.
Hydrocarbons: They are very dangerous and many hydrocarbons like methane when oxidizes with Carbon dioxide can increase amount of carbon dioxide in nature. Alkyl nitrates when reacting with molecules in atmosphere can affect blood kidneys and nervous system.
Carbon dioxide : high concentration of carbon dioxide can cause global warming and due to global warming it affects our climate and other things.
2. Effects due to water pollution : it is due to the unwanted substances in water bodies. which make it unfit and harmful for use.
Effects of nitrates : Excessive presence of nitrates in water is unfit to drink , especially for infants. This excessive nitrates is due to the use of hydrogen fertilizers.
Effect of pesticides: pesticides can easily penetrate our skin. it can also cause lung related problems.
effect of domestic wastes : it contains a lot of organic matter in forms of soap , detergents and food. such pollutants causes water pollution and can lead to diseases like typhoid cholera Diarrhoea. organic waste from various industries enter in water bodies and cause excessive growth of aquatic vegetation and decreases oxygen content of water.
3. Effects due to soilpollution : it causes loss of natural nutrients , soil organic matter and imbalances the nutrients present in the soil. crops that are grown in contaminated soil can absorbs those toxic material. it weakens the strength of trees. soil erosion is a very common problem.
4. Effects due to Noise pollution : Noise pollution occurs due to unwanted disturbing sound that causes problems to us. Excessive exposure to noise pollution can weaken our ears , can cause headaches , stress and anxiety. Noise pollution can damage ecosystem and also wildlife.
5. Effects due to radiation pollution : it is caused due to contamination of air , water with radioactive materials.
Effects of radioactive pollution: Radioactive pollution is a very dangerous and harmful pollution. it can cause diseases like cancer , haemorrhage etc. it can cause infertility of soil . radioactive pollution can damage plants it can affect their life.
nuclear disaster : a devastating fire in the reactor of chernobyl nuclear power plant took place on 26 April 198+6. this resulted in clouds of radioactive smoke affecting nearly 20000 people. Even today many people are suffering due to that.(veer Bala Rastogi , 237).
These all pollutions stated are very harmful for us . we should follow certain steps to decrease their effect in our environment .

Furthermore, dowry is one of the major causes of violence against newlywed wives. Physically abusing women and making obscene statements is widespread in many areas of the world.
Furthermore, children are frequently victims of this cruel behaviour. It is critical to identify society’s double standards and hypocrisy. Frequently, the abuser is either insane or in need of psychiatric counselling. Domestic violence, on the other hand, is the result of a series of reckless behaviours displayed by a segment of society. It is also crucial to highlight that the abuser is not the only one who is accountable; those who allow this to happen and behave as quiet bystanders are equally to blame.
Types of Domestic Violence
Domestic abuse has a variety of negative consequences that vary depending on the type of domestic violence that occurs. It might be physical, emotional, sexual, or pecuniary in nature. A physical abuser employs physical force that injures or endangers the victim’s life. Hitting, punching, choking, slapping, and other forms of violence are included. Furthermore, the abuser refuses the victim medical attention. There is also emotional abuse, in which the perpetrator threatens and intimidates the victim. It also entails damaging their self-esteem.
It involves threatening someone with danger or disgrace in public. Emotional abuse can also include continuous name-calling and criticism. Then there’s sexual abuse, in which the perpetrator uses force to get undesired sexual intercourse. If your spouse does not consent, it is considered sexual abuse since it is coerced. Finally, there is economic abuse, in which the abuser has power over the victim’s money and economic resources.
They use this to impose control over them and make them completely reliant on them. Economic abuse occurs when your partner needs to beg you for money. The victim’s self-esteem suffers as a result.
Why is domestic violence an issue?
Domestic violence has a significant influence on people’s overall health and well-being. It is due to the fact that it causes bodily harm, anxiety, and despair. Furthermore, it affects social skills and increases the probability that they may engage in health-harming behaviours such as self-harm or drug addiction.
How does domestic violence affect a woman?
Domestic abuse has a negative impact on women’s health. It has severe ramifications for their mental and physical health, including reproductive and sexual health. It also covers injuries, gynaecological issues, despair, suicide, and other issues.
Conclusion
To summarise, domestic violence can take various forms, including physical aggressiveness such as kicking and biting, as well as sexual or emotional abuse. It is critical to recognise the indicators of domestic violence and report the abuser if it occurs around or to you.
