How many use music when they meditate or perform rituals and if so, what are your favorites?
I’d like to find some music to help with my meditation but am not sure what would work best. My upstairs neighbor is a bit noisy (I don’t believe he ever sleeps) and would like to be able to offset that with some relaxing music.
It’s funny, his noise never interfered with my old way of meditating, in which I would just clear my mind and listening to my breath. Now, since I have started the techniques in the book I am reading, where I focus my meditation and direct it, every little noise and floor creak knocks me out of it.

I love all kinds of music, but these are two of my favorite CD's I use when "working"-

Yeah it's latin and probably a little blasphemous, but I love it anyways.

I like to listen to Gregorian chant when I'm meditating. Because it doesn't have a particular tune to it you don't end up distracted by the music.
I'm also very partial to the two CD's by Patrick Bernhardt "Atlantis Angelis" and "Solaris Universalis". And some of the CD's by Steve Halpern are very good for meditation as well.

I find "summer fields" very relaxing, its from the fable soundtrack, yes it might be from a game but its really calm and good to have in the background

I'm a fan of "music for 18 musicians" by Steve Reich. It's a minimalist piece and consists of pulses and repetition. it's extreamly relaxing. It's also really incredable music.

i listen to slow songs, but not sad ones. Things like sarah mcglaclan and vaneddsa carlton work pretty well
