Forest Walk Meditation Music
O, the joy of a forest walk! How wonderfully refreshing it can be to take a stroll in the forest, on a warm sunny day with birds singing and beautiful scenery. But it’s not always possible to head for the forest every time we want to refresh, relax, and enjoy nature. Which is why I…

Chinese Flute Meditation Music
There is something magical and alluring about Chinese traditional music. As a kid growing up in Europe, Chinese music always took my mind on a journey to a far-away continent and foreign culture.

Chanting Music For Relaxation
Relax your brain for a few minutes! A study has shown that chanting can reduce activity in the limbic system (associated with stress, emotion, learning, motivation, and more), effectively relaxing the brain. And as if that wasn’t enough, other studies have found similar results from playing and listening to music. This is great to remember if…

Cricket Sounds For Meditation
What is the background music of your happiest childhood memories? Close your eyes, and think back to your childhood memories from summer and vacation. What do you hear in the background?
