Meditation and mantra CDs

Mindfulness Meditation
#1

Hi, first post on these forums, looks like a nice place. :slight_smile:

I would like to get some suggestions for CDs with meditative music and/or mantra recitation.

I tend to prefer traditional ethnic meditative music, as opposed to more modern Western interpretations (New Age/world music). In other words, tablas and sitars rather than synthesizers, please. :wink:

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

In the spirit of splitting the difference, I recently discovered new recordings of music written by Hildegarde of Bingen, an abbess who lived in 12th century Germany. Choral and solo vocals sing Latin Plainchant, and are occasionally accompanied by harp.

Nichole… what kind of music you find most suitable for meditation?

Examples plz

I can google the world but need recommendation!

Satori, I do not recommend music for meditation practice, even for beginners, but I will recommend japa mala, mantra or pranayama with certain students and clients. This will also depend on their needs and the obstacles that they are experiencing within their practice. I do not recommend music, because my teachers do not, and this is not my training. In my experience, music within meditation is simply more worldly static, while the 3 techniques I offered above will actually protect and nourish your mind while benefiting your meditation practice.

Also, pardon me if I was not clear in my post above; I was not suggesting that you do a google search, but rather I was suggesting that you search this site, yogaforums.com, because there are many threads where people have shared their music preferences here and you can find them all by searching for [B]music.

Nichole

I would be very, very careful about picking up meditations CD’s and stuff like that. Meditation is the way to approach God and commerciality might not be the best way.

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) a safe way to practise meditation is given by
Yogananda in two booklets: “Metaphysical Meditations” and “Scientifical
Healing Affirmations.”

Afterall, his methods were given by Babaji, via Lahiry Mahasaya and Sri
Yukteswar.

Babaji is a saint, still living for many centuries.

Incidentally I found this web site with many videos on meditation:

http://www.meditationvideos.net/Mind_Control_Meditation.aspx

I did not look at its contents and can say nothing about their quality.
