If you are a beginner at meditation, you’d know how tough it can get to focus on a single thought or focus at the nothingness. More often than not, your meditation instructor asks you to focus on their voice to ease the process. However, if you are one who hasn’t been taking to meditation because your schedule doesn’t sync with the instructor, you can start trying it at home all by yourself. With a couple of tweaks here and there, you’ll still feel the same as what you would have felt with an instructor.

In this list of what to dos, the first one is introducing meditation music in your routine. In this blog, we will talk about the 8 meditation musics that you can try out.

Importance of Music as an instrument to better Meditation

We all know the impact listening to a song can have on us. Be it dancing in the pubs, listening to a soothing note while having coffee, productivity boosting music at the office or just an emotional score when you are missing your loved ones.

The same impact is true when music is being used in the meditation practice as well. Be it a beginner or someone who has been meditating for a while, mixing music in the experience provides instant relief. An effective mood boosting and calming technique, including music in your spa/meditation routine helps get instant and long lasting relief.

Now, when it comes to music, not everyone has similar tastes. Each individual has a different set of preferences and hence the type of music they like won’t be same too. For this reason, we are listing out 8 different types of music categories that you can choose from.
