Best Meditative Music?

Question

I'm making playlists and wanted to make a "meditation" playlist. What song(s) and/or artist(s) are the best for this type? By meditation it could be anything between sitting at the beach relaxing or sitting at home unwinding from my day. I would not mind variety, thanks,

Answer 1

I actually tried an experiment in college where I listened to the same exact song on repeat while studying for an exam, thinking that the thought of the song would bring back memories of what I was studying. It didn't work.

Nevertheless, I chose a song that was catchy and had a good rhythmic beat:

"Tyler" by the Toadies. Enjoy.

Answer 2

My favourite relaxing music is Augustus Pablo, the "The Great Pablo" album or Sam Cooke "Portrait of a Legend", a compilation cd. I also like John Lennon's acoustic stuff for relaxing like the songs "watching the wheels" and "look at me". There you have variety: classic reggae, classic soul and rock. I find most classic soul really relaxing, like otis redding and solomon burke. oH and adding to the reggae /dub list, Keith Hudson and King tubby, dub masters. Eric Satie wrote some very relaxing classical music, early 1900, very calming. I hope you make a good playlist!

Answer 3

Eric van der Heijden- Running Out of Time
Mark Shreeve-Assassin
Deuter- Island in the Sun
Dr. Josph Nagler-Jacob's Ladder
Klaus Schulze
Stephen Helpern

Answer 4

Classical is good, certain types anyway. However you can download meditative music from iTunes in the podcast section for free. I'll be watching the answers you get as well.

Answer 5

If you like new agey stuff, a group called Libera is friggin awesome. Sarah Brightman's "Luna" ( I think that's what it's titled)is great as well. Loreena Mckennit is my all time favorite relaxing music. She is a Celtic singer. Enya is also nice.

Those are just some new agey choices for you.

Answer 6

I like Kenny G., nature sounds, plaintive instruments such as flutes, maybe drums, serenity music such as: Sleepytime, Ocean Waves, Thunderstorm. I've tried a lot of different ones. And by the way, I think incense may be an excellant accompaniment to set your mood.

Answer 7

Yanni!!! Yep, I love the guy's old stuff (In The Mirror was a good one). Pop on some headphones and you can hear sooo many different sounds. Drops of water, dolphin sounds, it's awesome. I used to study to it when in college and I would tear through a test (I'm one of those who has to have quiet to study so I was amazed I could listen to it during).

Jack Johnson is good beach music

Answer 9

Enya
