Interesting videos about sounds and music
What is sound? What is music? Astral Sounds contains no musical instruments, human voices or sounds of nature, yet it can automatically create feelings of happiness, health and a blissful state of mind. Worries disappear. Pain vanishes. Problems ...

How serious are you?
