“He stood at the cross roads just befuddled!
Choice between union or just be apart!
The counsel of the wise came to his mind!
Think a little but then listen to your heart!”
The Naked Ape: A Zoologist’s Study of the Human Animal is a 1967 book by English zoologist and ethologist Desmond Morris and in this book among other things he tells about the feeding technique which is most effective!
Now, apparently mothers who feed on the left side or holding the baby on the left side feel that the baby gets comforted more faster! This phenomenon was actually studied further and they also found similar finding!
If you feed the baby in the left side then the baby gets comforted faster than the right and in fact even if you do not feed and simply hold the baby on the left side the baby gets more comfort and finds more pleasure (read; stops crying!!).
One theory put forward was that the left side of the body of the mother is having the heart at least in most cases since we can safely rule out the very rare condition called the dextrocardia! Now everyone knows that the heartbeat is heard on the left side and there is a nation that the rhythmic movement of the heart or the heart beat is a pleasant music for the infant! It is of course the constant sound which he or she heard in the womb with the beating of the heart!
Furthermore the heartbeat is a constant beat which gives a sense of normalcy or familiarity to the child! But of course it must be some other heart beat we or the child feels! If you feel your own heart beat then that actually causes more fear than calmness!
Desmond also says how even the growing teens who are away from their parents influence also get influenced by the rhythmic music which is similar to the beat of the heart like the rock or pop music! Exceptions aside, most normal people like the rhythmic beats and try to synchronize the beat with their body which is actually they trying to match the beat of the heart!
No wonder the songs which raise your heart beat are also fast and peppy! And those which give you more calm and reduce them are slow and soft! Everything comes down to the HEART of the matter! No wonder such songs which directly affect your heart gets your heart going! One such singer is birthday celebrity Manhar Udhas! Listen to his soft rendition to your HEART”S delight!
Now sleep on the side of the bed which is good for your heart!
Shubh Ratri!
