Music Monday - Amateur Relaxation via Waterfalls

It's Monday, and that means it's time for Music Monday, where we tell you our album or track of the week. This week, we're going to do something a little different. We've got the same track and album from last week - Ambience: Waterfalls - "Sensuous", but this week we've got a fantastic way to experience the music, and to make you forget that it's Monday!

We came across this waterfall video and were instantly intrigued. We've synced our music to videos on this blog before, but because this video includes soft, spoken words meant for guided relaxation, we were instantly curious to see what it would be like to match our Waterfalls Free Mp3 Download of the Month, "Sensuous" with the narration. Well, we weren't disappointed with the outcome, and we hope you won't be either. So sit back, click play on the music, and play on the video, keep the music just underneath the narration and let your cares melt away...

Yoga Thursday - Meditation

Yoga is not only for the body, but also the mind and soul, which is why yoga and meditation practices are very closely linked. Today we would like to share an article on Meditation Music from Freemeditations.com. We will only use excerpts and highly encourage you to read the entire article on their website. In conjunction with the article we will be sharing a sample from our Meditation album in our Lifestyle Series.

Meditation Music

A truly inspiring music is almost a substitute for meditation. Like meditation it transports you to another world. The only difference is that while you have to make conscious effort to arrive at a state of meditation, the inspirational music just carries you off on its wings. It focuses your diffused thoughts at one point which is its central theme. In case the theme of the vocal music coincides with that of your meditation, you are doubly blessed...

Meditation music is composed around many themes. You do not have to sit down in a certain posture at a specific time to meditate. You can meditate even while walking on a footpath in a crowded market place, cycling or traveling in a bus or a plane. Your iPod contains the music and its headphone is plugged into your ears. It prevents your mind from wandering aimlessly, but keeps reminding you that you are, for example, a quiet and calm soul performing your duty in this world while your mind is connected with the supreme soul. Your hands are at work while your mind is connected with your God. If you are a non-believer, the music invokes you to remain calm and detached and yet blissful even in tense circumstances. You walk around the fish market and yet remain immune to the chaotic and noisy crowds.

Various themes that the meditation music is composed of build similar states of mind. Meditation music can promote constant awareness and alertness with detachment which may culminate in keeping you aware, alert and clam even when your soul leaves your body. You watch it leaving and still remain calm even blissful...
