Every loving mother will agree that in order for her baby to sleep sweetly, he needs reverent care and care. But not everyone knows what a lullaby is, and whether it needs to be given special significance. But such an ancient folklore melody is a kind of protective amulet for a child. Thanks to her, the child calms down faster and falls asleep.
To play a lullaby, you do not need to accompany any special musical instruments. Here, only a voice is enough. The sedative mechanism of suggestion is effective due to the impact on the work of the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for the subconscious and emotions.
Melody of life
Maternal lullabies, the texts of which are very diverse, have been considered sacred for centuries. And since infancy is the most important period in the development of any individual, the child in this period, along with the milk of his nurse and to the sounds of her melodic voice, absorbs love, the ability to survive and strength. That is why the ancestors, when a baby was born, tried in every possible way to surround him with an atmosphere of maximum care, which was reflected in a kind of "poetry of cherishing": songs, nurseries, nurseries.
Children's songs are also the main reference point in shaping the picture of the world for the child. Lullabies have a great power of suggestion, pacify and harmonize. Rasul Gazmatov gave the world beautiful words that clearly emphasize the whole sacred meaning inherent in their performance. He said: “Mother’s song is the main song in the world; the beginning of all human songs. "
Back to the bright past
Even in ancient times, it was noticed that with monotonous swaying, the baby calms down faster and falls asleep. It was then that the first special bed for lulling a child appeared - a cradle or a cradle. The derivative of the word "lullaby" was the verb "lull" (sway, sway, rock, sway).
To understand exactly what a lullaby is, one should plunge into the customs of different nations, for which it was a universal sleeping pill not only for children, but even for adults. Previously, a woman at the time of the birth of a child composed for him her individual lullaby, which later became his prayer charm throughout her life. She served as a kind of conspiracy for the baby. According to ethnographers, maternal lulling songs in different countries are very similar to each other not only in structure and type of performance, but also in their magical elements.
What is a lullaby for a newborn?
Ancient people were aware that all words uttered with significance and special message have great weight and meaning in comparison with the usual everyday speech. Bayushki for all babies deliberately sang in a certain rhythm, and therefore they had a special rhyme, sound frequency and a special meter. Amazing affectionate and kind jokes were also sentenced during swaddling, feeding and bathing the baby. This not only developed his understanding, but also was the basis for the development of a harmonious holistic personality. The people believed that "the child does not grow from food, but from joy."
Thanks to kind maternal words, children gained confidence in life, learned to perceive reality positively, realized their indispensability and significance in the family. A kind of shield was built around them out of love, tenderness, good luck, peace and affection. An indestructible protective wall of protection is what a lullaby is for a newborn.
Modern science opens the veil of secrecy
Experts conducted an experiment in which they found out how children's songs affect babies. Lullabies, according to their observations, cause babies in a state of drowsiness, deep peace, euphoria and pleasure. The same effect is achieved when using ancient conspiracies from the evil eye. The discovery of such an interesting fact gave reason to believe that the texts of lullabies contain a deeper meaning than the modern average man is used to considering.
Ancient lullabies, texts which have survived to this day, were a kind of spell on sleep, the growth of the child, on his health and future wealth. If the child was sick, then a lulling healer conspiracy was used. In protecting the child from other people's harmful influences, a plot-amulet helped.
