Music for the Soul

Something I wrote 10 years ago - just found another one of my old blogs. This was when I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Metaphysical Sciences. - Thought I'd post it here. lol

20 February 2008 - Music for the Soul

Music for your meditations is more than just going to Wal-Mart and picking up a CD of environmental sounds or the latest Yanni tunes. Finding the right music for your meditations is essential to the meditation process. It is about self realization and self expression. It is what guides you into new realms. It is what brings about the images that will carry you to the sacred place. That is the goal of meditation.

I have been asked on numerous occasions about recommended meditation music. I have spent the last 6 hours combing through music to give you my top picks. I have separated the music into 2 categories for easier choosing: Light Ambient and Dark Ambient. The Light Ambient music houses a list of various styles: Native American, Piano, Neo-Classical, Indian, Environmental, Celtic and so on. The Dark Ambient section is a list of darker sounds; a lot of Goths, Pagans, Vampires, Horror Fans and others prefer the dark or heavier sounds to meditate to.

For sampling the music I have recommended, 2 good places: Last.FM and Amazon.com. Most of the music can be bought at Amazon.com or through the artists own websites and scrobbled/sampled at Last.FM.

Most of the artists below have has several CDs to pick from. I have chosen my favorites from each artist to recommend to you for your meditations. This is just a very small list of wonderful meditation music to pick from. I can also tell you that if you are just in the mood for some good chill-out music, relaxing music to sleep by or need good music for your 'tantric connections' then this is a fairly good list of for your listening pleasure.

January Orders Amazon

12" ship wheel - for Jack Sparrow.

4 used but good CDs - love this music.

October Orders

    This month I've got dewormer on the way for the 3 cats. I want to make darn good and sure they are free from tapeworms and thought I'd better get them some roundworm medication too. These are the type of meds you can get over the counter so I thought I'd try them out because the reviews were great on both products. I'll know soon enough how well they work for my furry babies.

And yes they have more than enough food coming in... stocking up a bit for the winter with that now.

365 Artists - Autumn

My last 365 days of listening - top artists. My tastes in music have grown softer over the years.

New Age, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Neo-Classical Darkwave, Classical Piano, Smooth Jazz.... nice combo.

Autumn begins next week... I guess by New Years Day I'll know who I have listened to for  the entire 2017 year.

September Orders

A raincoat! I've been needing and wanting one - I'm finally gonna get one. This one is a little big

but I can roll up the sleeves! It's cute, the price was right and it has decent reviews!

August Orders

I couldn't stand it anymore - I've been wanting a Prancing Pony sign and this one I could afford. It's not wooden as I would love to have (I can't afford those) but I do have a couple of picture frames left and this one will fit perfectly in one of those empty frames. It's on photo paper and I think I'll like it as I would on wood. Mine will not be nearly as large as the one in the photo but big enough that I can enjoy - the same goes for The Green Dragon sign below. Yes I got the small version of both.

I hope to get a CD player in the next few months.
I haven't had one in years now and I want something to listen to sometimes. 

June Orders

Yea OK it's time I get an alarm clock. Phone backup or if I don't have a phone anymore I will at least have this. Battery operated so if the electric goes out it'll go off.  Good to have this as everyone already knows - now I'll join the rest of the world with an alarm clock. LOL.
