Music can be very relaxing. In addition, of course, you can use music for meditation. For this, you have several possibilities. Here are some things that you should make:
The choice of music
The music chosen by you to relax and create a pleasant atmosphere, but it should not sound for the entire house. The music should form a pleasant background; it should not compete with a live concert of your favourite band.
Fast or slow music?
With or without vocals?
If you you cannot concentrate when someone is singing, you should rely on instrumental pieces. An exception is of course if you want to chant during meditation, so you can sing along insert a CD with such songs.
