It’s the ultimate in braincare!
I had so many requests to put ‘Every Little Cell’ on a video so you can access it easily.
So here it is. Yes this is for you! Parents, teachers and carers!
The video is aimed at your children (of any age) to watch. Of course, I know us adults are loving it too.
Read on so you know the therapeutic benefit of showing them this video!
* Melody activates the limbic system which allows us to feel, experience and move our emotions through us. An essential process for anyone experience uncertainly, anxiety, grief or fear.
* Melodic mantras have a greater impact on neuro plasticity than spoken or written affirmations as the music leads to dopamine release – which is essential in the motivation to repeat the mantra. This means singing this mantra will be the most effective way of us believing the words.
* The repetition of this song creates a sense of predictability within the environment which the brain perceives as safety. A brain that can predict what’s coming next feels more in control and a brain in control is not a Brain in survival mode.
* Singing out loud is a fab controlled breathing exercise – every phrase we sing is a nice long out-breath!
* Singing activates the parasympathetic nervous system which reduces the heart rate, reduces our respiratory rate and brings out of anxiety experiences.
* Children still believe in their musicality (unlike us adults who think only ‘musicians’ are musical) so expressing in this way brings them joy, and creative fulfilment
* Music stimulates the pre frontal cortex which will help them to think more clearly, focus, make sense of and cognitively process their current state of events. Basically, children need music but they don’t need to be at school to be making it.
Music For One (music we make by ourselves, for ourselves) is just what the doctor ordered!
It’s not my original song but gee this anonymous artist wrote a real gem. We love that it’s been so helpful and brought so much joy and inspiration to you all.

Hi Allison
Love your little song and I think you unconsciously channelled “Mumma’s Little Bubba likes Shortnin, Shortnin, Mumma’s little Bubba likes Shortnin Bread. Try it on Google, methinks the tune is the same. I remember my American aunt singing it to us as children. (I am 70). I’m sure your work is helping many deal with their anxieties.
Live long and prosper!
Cheers
Alison
You’re so right it does follow along to the same tune.
I was inspired by Karl Anthony’s version of this song. It’s not his original either.
Thanks for following along and tuning in. We love that it’s reminded you of wonderful family songs and past times.
Thanks Alli xx
Thank you for caring. Simple and generous.
Happily it’s now in my brain, and, in every little cell! Let’s sing 🎶 for our souls, for this our earth, for Mother Nature.
Hi Alli,
We LOVE your videos and have been singing your songs. Thank you for shining your light!
Do you happen to have Every Little Cell song on a track we can loop?
Much love to you and your family,
Jayma, Heather & Ava
Thanks so much for the feedback. We love that you’ve enjoyed it so much.
I will keep that in mind for future recordings.
Thanks so much Alli xx
