Best Meditation Album EVER!

...yours for only two eay payments of 19.99 plus s&h.

I love listening to music when I meditate--it helps keep all the extras out of my head. I have the strangest problem with Taco Bell items floating through my vision...and it's not a sign, just my inner glutton.

I find most "New Age" music to be very heavy and distracting, so I've been on the lookout for something else. While at the Universal Light Expo in Columus, Ohio, I had a reading from a wonderful woman. She gave me the name of a Pre-Medieval composer. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of this time period because of its lack of complexity and intensity. But, Hildegard of Bingen is probably one of my new favorite composers ever. The particular album is Canticles of Ecstasy.

She started writing in a time when polyphony was just starting to develop, but no where near the way we hear music today. I would descrbe it as chanting to an open 5th that changes once or twice within the piece. The music is amazingly divine, and I suuggest anyone who likes to meditate to music but finds the traditional music too heavy to check it out. In fact, I reccomend everyone take a listen--I think everyone will find something to use it for!

Have an excellent weekend, everyone!

haha inner glutton! Thanks for making me want Taco Hell now :P

I don't normally listen to music while meditation because I just find it a distraction. I do like the sound of Tibetan singing bowls, but even that gives a different experience.

I will have to check out your suggestion.


Taco Hell - HA!

Bi Naural frequencies in the Theta Range accompanied by Pink Noise has worked for me in the past, The Theta frequency gudes ones brain into the pre requisite meditative state in which consciousness departure takes place while the Pink Noise provdes for an Auditory Ganzfeld effect that works to form a kind of Snow Blindness for the ears and thus encourages the Brain to source it's audible stimuli from within or at least non proximal.

The micro calcite crystals within the pineal gland are also sufficiently stimulated to fascilitate the formation of the worm hole through which consciousness departs there by making awareness non proximal.

I've used noise like that, too. When I was in school for music, I used sort of the same thing for my composition classes. I'd sit infront of the fan and let my brain make up the melodies and rhythms from the beating of the air.
