2. What are the advantages of using Quiettracks™? 

Many spiritual teachers tell us that frequent, brief shifts in our focus throughout the day can have immeasurable effects on our well-being.

In the Hay House publication “Ask and It is Given” by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Abraham says that within 17 seconds of focusing on something, a matching vibration is activated and that if you manage to stay focused upon any thought for as little as 68 seconds, the vibration is powerful enough that its manifestation begins. (page 109)

Doc Childre, Founder of the Institute of HeartMath recommends using the Inner-Ease Technique^TM to access a State of Ease by taking a short time out and doing heart-focused breathing: breathe a little slower than usual; pretend you are breathing through your heart or chest area. (This is proven to help create coherent wave patterns in your heart rhythm—which helps restore balance and calm in your mental and emotional nature while activating the affirming power of your heart.)

 

Rick Hanson, PhD. a neuropsychologist and author of  “Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom” says that staying with a positive thought/experience for 20 to 30 seconds helps it become wired into the brain. He references the research of Marc Lewis and others who have shown that the longer something is held in awareness and the more emotionally stimulating it is, the more neurons that fire and thus wire together, and the stronger the trace in memory.

Just when you need it, the voice on Quiettracks™ reminds you to breathe, to shift your focus, and to be still for a moment.

7. Should I use headphones/earbuds with Quiettracks™?

The use of headphones or earbuds is entirely up to you. Some MP3 players require them of course but in all other instances, the choice is yours! The sound may be enhanced with quality headphones, and background noise may be eliminated with headphones, but please, do whatever works in the best way for you, the listener!


8. How do I make a suggestion for a  Quiettracks™ message?

If you’d like to suggest a message for future Quiettracks™ you may do so by sending it in an e-mail to contact@voiceofstillness.com. It may be either a general suggestion for a subject or a specific text that you have written. If your suggestion is selected for production, it may take several months before it appears in the catalog. When it becomes available, you will receive that track plus your choice of five others at no cost. The submitted text will become the property of VOS Studio, Inc. and may be edited and/or modified. Recognition will be given for your suggestion if you so desire.


9. Why is there “extra” music after the message of some Quiettracks™ ?

There is always a short musical “tag” following the message on Quiettracks™, but in some instances, there is “extra” music that provides time to continue the quiet, the breathing, or the reflection on the words or thoughts that may be present.

For instance, in a track that focuses on gratitude, there is time to add your own thanksgivings to the ones in the Quiettrack™ message.

In all cases, we highly recommend taking a few deep breaths with the music at the end of the track. This is very helpful in shifting your energy!
