Album Description
Scientifically Designed for the Heart-Mind-Body Connection Doc Childre's award-winning releases Heart Zones and Speed of Balance combines science and creativity, producing music that facilitates health, mental clarity and emotional balance.

Quiet Joy features selections from both releases, presenting the softer side of Doc's musical style, providing a peaceful and serene listening experience.

Quiet Joy is excellent for:

* slow movement exercises such as tai-chi, yoga and Chi Kung and massage * meditation, centering and refocusing * calming young children and babies * enhancing creativity * reducing the effects of stress

Align the beauty and intelligence of the heart with the power of the mind and body. Enter the state of Quiet Joy.

Scientific research conducted by Doc Childre and the Institute of HeartMath, as well as others, has quantified the effects that music has—both psychologically and physically on listeners.

Listening to Quiet Joy is especially useful for taking a break to renew, center and refocus. Quiet Joy also provides a perfect backdrop for doing tai-chi, yoga, and massage. In addition, the calming, peaceful effect is very enjoyable and beneficial for young children and babies.

New Age Journel, Jan-Feb 2002
The term "designer music" was first coined for Childre's music. Expect mostly keyboard, with occasional electronic drum and guitar.

Customer Reviews

Quiet Joy by Doc Lew Childre
This album contains nothing new - it is simply a repeat of numbers contained in Childre's two previous albums, and not worth the money. I think this should be made clear to people who are thinking of buying it - I personally feel cheated.

This is essentially New Age Music, but with a difference: the music is very relaxing & at the same time, very energising!
This is essentially New Age Music, but with a difference: the music is very relaxing & at the same time, very energising! [I am aware that a lot of people have negative connotations about New Age music. In reality, New Age music is simply electronically synthesised music. Because of its amplitude, the music has much more subtle variations, thus making it much more relaxing &/or energising to listen to.]

It's actually part of a collection of 3, known as the HeartMath Collection (the other two are 'Heart Zones' & 'Speed of Balance'), produced by HeartMath, a research outfit that is at the cutting edge of peak performance technologies. Their clinical research work is often cited in journals such as the Harvard Business Review, Journal of Innovative Management, The American Journal of Cardiology, Stress Medicine, and Journal of Advancement in Medicine. They have apparently earned global recognition for their unique research-based techniques & proprietary technology to transform the stress of change & uncertainty, & bring coherence & renewed energy to the workplace, & at home.

To really appreciate the music in the HeartMath Collection, I would suggest readers to read their publications first (& also personally experience the stress-reduction exercises first hand!):

- Freeze Frame: One Minute Stress Management, by Doc Lew Childre;
- The HeartMath Solution: The Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart's Intelligence, by Doc Lew Chidre;

I have used the HeartMath Collection regularly in the office, in the car & at home, ever since I bought it in the mid-90's.

There are only four types of music CDs in my personal collection. They are:

- Relax with the Classics, the whole collection) from the Lind Institute;
- The HeartMath Collection;
- The Hemi-Sync Music Collection, from the Monroe Institute;
- Steven Halpern's Inner Peace Music, also the whole collection;
