Meditating to music can be incredibly effective, especially when you are just starting out on your practice. There is music that is designed for meditation: not only does it sound meditative, but it is composed and played by meditators that imbue it with a meditative energy. This may sound abstract, but it is actually quite precise: musicians convey their states of mind just as people writing books or articles do , or anyone communicating or creating a work of art. Music can convey feelings of meditation much more directly since it does not need to rely on words to convey intellectual concepts. Here on Living Flow, we offer several options you can use for music, whether available directly from us, or by linking to other resources online.
