Is it better to meditate with background music or without...?

Answer 1

Meditating on what ? if you want to meditate on music then you must have music in the background.

but if you are meditating on your self, its none of your business, whats going outside.

and belive me even god cant meditate on 2 things at the same time, thats wat the meditation is all about.

i hope it helped.

Answer 2

It all depends on your preferences and how it works for you. Music is a form of tool that some use for focusing. Others prefer not to use any thing because they believe it distracting. I like nature sounds as a background, and some music, or I don't use anything and keep things silent. It all depends on what works for me at that time.

Answer 3

From my perspective as a Christian drummer...Music is not necessary in meditation,as the spirit of man is communing in tune with the Spirit of God and makes it's own music.

Answer 4

I find background music is good. If I try to relax in total silence (besides sleep, that is) my mind tends to wander is all sorts of directions.

Now, if I have some music playing, say something pleasant and mellow, then my mind will also be so.

That's just me though, best wishes.

Answer 5

It is personal preference.
Some people meditate with a guided mediation, some with music.
Try different ways for yourself and see how they feel.
Some sit placing in a certain direction also.

Answer 6

Music is fine if it helps calm you, but it can't be distracting- it should be something that you can tune out that is relaxing. Anything that promotes a feeling of happiness is good.
