Music and Meditation and the Ambience Series

So much of our Ambience series that we have begun to share provide that perfect meditative chill out zone. The Ambience series is one for reflection, relaxation, and meditation, as well as simple listening pleasure. We have created what we see as ultimate mood setters, and so today we wanted to share an article we came across that talks about the relationship of music and meditation.

The article author is Sri Chinmoy, and was published on his website. We'll excerpt some important bits here, but strongly encourage you to read the entire article on www.srichinmoy.org.

Music and Meditation

"Meditation and music cannot be separated. When we cry from the inmost recesses of our heart for peace, light and bliss, that is the best type of meditation. Next to meditation is music, soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness. We cannot meditate twenty-four hours a day, but we can meditate, perhaps, for two hours a day. At other times we can play music or listen to music. When we play or hear soulful music, psychic music, immediately we are transported to a higher realm of consciousness. When we play music soulfully, we go high, higher, highest...

...Let us not try to understand music with our mind. Let us not even try to feel it with our heart. Let us simply and spontaneously allow the music-bird to fly in our heart-sky. While flying, it will unconditionally reveal to us what it has and what it is. What it has, is Immortality's message. What it is, is Eternity's passage."
