"Mindfulness" from Liquid Mind: Mindfulness
In January of 1988 I began composing on the first Liquid Mind® compositions, and experimenting with extremely slow, quiet music. I always noticed that Lovedog (my cocker/poodle mix) would come near the speakers as I was working and fall asleep. In the ensuing 34 years, I’ve received many emails and messages from Liquid Mind listeners mentioning the calming effect of my music on some dogs, including puppies.
While there is no research specifically on Liquid Mind, there is substantial research regarding the beneficial physiological and psychological effect of listening to calming music in both animals and humans including changes in brain chemistry, cognition and physiology. As well there is research documenting changes in dogs’ heart rates while listening to different styles & tempos of music.

Do not operate vehicles or dangerous machinery while listening to slow music, as there is some research indicating it may cause slower reaction times, drowsiness, and a heightened state of suggestibility.
