When my daughter was born, she would cry.. A LOT.. she was very fussy especially after being breast feed. Before we actually found out she was allergic to cow's milk, we found out that Enya's music would put her to sleep in last then five minutes. We would play an Enya CD loud next to her crib, especially Wild Child, and she would be out. I think her music is very soothing and relaxing and I guess so did my daughter. We would spend hours on the phone with the doctor practically every day and trying so many different drops or holding her in a different position every 30 minutes. But one day I just happen to be so fed up and about to loose it myself, I just press play on the CD to block her crying (after 3 hours) and closed my eyes and prayed, and It worked miracles.I couldn't believe it, I called my husband to come and check to make sure she was breathing! After that, we would let her cry for about 5-10 minutes then go lay her down with that CD on, she would be out in no time. And now, we don't know if there is a connecting, she prefers female vocalist and music with a very slow tempo.
That's my story, I don't know if it would help everyone, someone or no one, but I thought I would share it because they sound of a crying baby are not as enjoyable as a soothing calm song.

Animals Bring Us Healing. Our animals bring us comfort, joy and healing. What would the world be like without the beauty and peacefulness of such awesome animals? They add so much to our lives. They are far more loyal, humble and pure then we will ever be. It is humans who are the true beasts! we don't teach them-they teach us, to find enjoyment in the simple, to get our paws dirty for the sake of having fun, to be still and listen, and most of all they remind us of who we are and where we come from- from a place of love and peace.
If we were to take animals out of the world what kind of world would it be! They are our friends, they bring us healing. Here is a song to remind of the wonderful healing animals bring.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow: This is the song that began my journey of emotional healing. I had suffered physical issues for a few years that drug me down emotionally. Well actually I'm not sure what came first the emotional or the physical upset. Anyway I listened to this song over & over and cried every time for about 6 months. Now when I listen to it, I smile. It was this beautiful version that really got my attention. I hope it can help others just the same.

EC: Thanks, Stella! Will you please re-send the YouTube link for Amazing Grace? (Can't remember the name of the artist with the exquisite voice). We'd like to repost that too.
