10 Best Music For Meditation, Relaxation And Spirituality

I had a quest. To find 10 best music albums for relaxation and meditation. I think I have cracked it here.

So, what was the trigger to this quest? Well, as someone who has been involved in many techniques on this journey of self enlightenment, I have had many encounters with tools. Music just being one of them.

What has been the best and most effective?

It is this article that I recommend what works the best and it is here I will list the 10 best music CD's especially to help you tune in and drop out, into new realms.

Blessed be.

Like all the music I have listed here, you will be able to hear samples either from the video clips or by going to the Amazon link, as provided.

Steven Halpern's Music for Healing is, as per title, an indulgence for the mind, body and spirit.

The best of his relaxation box set called 'Sound Medicine', this CD will have you in a eurphoric state within minutes.

With 24 5 star reviews, it is no wonder why this has reached one of the top 10 best meditation and relaxation CD's.

The Tranquil Harp: Improvisations for Relaxation, Meditation, Integration by Paul Baker is a masterpiece of excellence.

The angelic transition from earthly bound routines, transmits you into a new world. The harp has often been associated with heavenly endeavours and through this medium, breaking through to the otherside is made easy.

I love this album - so did 34 other five star reviewers - and you will too.

Gregorian chant music isn't, generally, my cup of tea. However, Lost in Meditation: Meditative Gregorian Chants by Capella Gregoriana is the exception to disprove the rule.

I have found many Gregorian chants can be a bit irritating. This really is the last place you want to be when you need to connect to a dream state. But with Capella, there is no risk of that - it really is a wonderful CD, full of Solfeggio tones.

Allessandro, one of reviewers of Amazon, states the following:

'This CD follows up the first volume with more beautiful chants. The recording is high quality, and the singing is superb (for plainsong). The pearl on this recording is track #18, 'Veni creator.' At less than seven dollars, this CD is one you must add to your library'

And I couldn't agree more.

This is a joyous, loving album which encompasses the wonderment of the native American Indians.

Here the chant in celebration to nature and enter the realms of the dreaming.

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans really is a CD with a lovely selection of meditative music.

Terry Oldfield has been a very old hand at meditation and relaxation music. I first discovered him many years ago with his production of 'In The Presence Of Light'. Since then, I have immersed myself in many of his transcendental pieces.

Yoga Harmony is one of his best and helps you to fixate on peace and higher meditative energies.

Classical Indian Music for Healing and Relaxation - The Ancient Beauty of the Veena is the very best in Indian meditational genre, if you imagine there being such a thing.

I love the ancient echoes of the past with this CD and I am sure you would agree with me. I have noticed the further back you go in music history, the more alike the influences are. If you listen carefully, you can hear a little Egyptian, Greek and Far Eastern going on, can't you?

This lovely CD will transport you to an ancient past.

The Healing Sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls With Rain and Waterfall - The Ultimate Meditation Music - Absolutely, at your baseline 'far off man' sound. If nothing else can get you into a deep meditative state - then this will.

Based on the om, this sound really does take you to a different dimension. What is it about the singing bowls? Why do they have this effect on people? They certainly operate at a different vibration to the rest of the world. This CD is absolutely mesmerizing.

Chanting Om Vol. II - Splendor of Yoga really is for the hardened meditator but really needed to be listed in the top 10 of meditation and relaxation CD's.

The om sound is a powerful relaxant. It has been used for many centuries by Buddhists, with its deep monotone, lulling you to a dream state.

As a powerful, effective tool, I have chosen this because it deserves to be in with the best.

Reiki Hands of Light By Deuter is far lighter than the other 10 best music albums for relaxation and meditation. It is subtle and beautiful with lots of piano influences - like fairies in the snow.

More for those who just want to chill out, rather than have a full on meditative experience, this CD really is the one for this occasion. This is why I have put it into the number 2 slot - because of its simplicity, beauty and light healing properties.

Okay, we have now come to the very best in relaxation and meditation music. This one is top of the pops because it encompasses everything in terms of 'Turn on, tune in, drop out' (quoted from Timothy Leary). This tool will help you to lucid dream and, if you are more a visual person, rather than imaginative, can be purchased as a DVD.

So, what is this master piece? Terry Oldfield's Underwater World. This is a highly recommended DVD and with Terry Oldfield - you can never go wrong!
