Spiritual Music

Aisling&M

I use a lot of different types of Music with meditation and visualisation etc and thought it might be of benefit if those who wanted to share some of their favourites?
I've found a lot of rubbishy new-agey music that was a waste of money and would much rather extend my collection through recommendation.

And it doesn't have to be 'NEW age/spiritual music'. I've found some beautiful simple melodies on piano or vocals that are classed as anything but spiritual but have a tremendous effect on me.

My new favourite is Dustin O'Halloran, Piano Solos.

I have some meditation ones I will list when i get home

but it depends what i am doing.

For certain things i compiled a selction of music from varied sources:

Dead can Dance, deepak chopra, lots of extracts from the buddha bar series karma collections..... All designed to harmonise and blend in a sacred space.

I don't normally use music when I meditate, but sometimes before to calm me down and concentrate. Then I'll use anything I really like.

Right now I'd probably use something from Sarband (see link in signature) or Lhasa de Sela (Con toda Palabra - a little weird video, song from "The Living Road")

Fragile is nice IMO - here old version from 88, very the eighties.

A while ago I used to like to listen to Hallelujah - Wainwright's version or Buckley's (maybe too sad). (I even like the mock versions of this song).

It's a matter personal taste, I think - what I happen to like, you might really hate.

Some very good links there. Picks of the bunch would be:
Deva Premal The Essence and Con toda Palabra.
BTW, I am atheist but would appreciate the music.
Keep it coming.
Thanks

Two of my favs for relaxing are
The Fairy Ring by Mike Rowland
healing Flute Music by Seamus Byrne
The latter is a monk from Co.Wicklow,he is amazing, i just get lost in his stuff.
Generally, i dont listen to music when i meditate,prefer quiet.

Glad you liked some of it. There are a lot of other very nice songs on "The Living Road" (where I found "Con Toda Palabra").

(I tried to find something "atheist" for you - the best I could find was this:
Is That All There Is? with Peggy Lee. Cool and very disillusioned. Probably not too good for meditation... and speaking of Peggy Lee, neither is Fever, I suppose)

To jump back to topic... Monica Zetterlund's "Walz for Debbie" is beautiful and good for relaxation:

Have a nice summer!
