Music for medidation?

[Mrs. Charming]

I need to chill out. I would like to start (attepting to) meditate. The accupuncturist I went to had a great cd, but I don't know what it was. It was like a soft Chinese traditional music with a very soft melody behind it. I searched amazon and listened to a ton of clips and came up empty handed. Do you have any suggestions of cds, mp3s, artists, or where to look?

I love George Winston for soothing, relaxing music.

Another one I like is actually a guy I went to college with:

He has some jazz selections but much of his music is soothing, piano music.

Neither are the Chinese music you heard though .

I would recommend nature sounds, rain, ocean waves, I buy mine at Target & I find them pretty relaxing.

I have done Transcendental Meditation (TM) for 15+ years. I think it's one of the best things you can do for yourself.

TM does not use music. Just sitting quietly.

I am not sure if you have a specific kind of meditation in mind but a guided meditation would probably be good if you have never done it before.

Deepak Chopra, Shakte Gawain and Wayne Dyer have good guided meditations.

Best of luck in finding something that works for you.
