Meditation – Atmosphere and Music
• It is not difficult to realize that meditation should be done in a comfortable setting. Being in a comfortable, quiet, relaxing setting puts you in the mood to meditate. Building an atmosphere of no stress, coupled with music can actually be a very relaxing and healing process for your mind and body. People meditate for many different reasons, and Here are a few of those reasons: enhance blood flow which enhances chi circulation, enhance breathing, calm the mind, draw in natural energy, reduce stress, etc.
• Atmosphere
  Should be well lit, with natural sunlight if possible.
  Should be in a quiet setting, away from noisy electronics
  Can be indoors or outdoors – depending on the season and the range of natural beauty you live in will decide your choice
  Don’t let living in a city stop you from meditating, even if you need to drive to a park – sit on a park bench by yourself and focus on the nature which is surrounding
  Set the mood with candles, incense, water falls ($20 you can buy a small water fall about 10 inches tall, more of a mini fountain)
• Music
     The music you use when meditating is an expression of yourself, yes, but at the same time you should try to avoid loud noises which may startle you. Also anything with too many lyrics which could make your mind sway into the song. Personally, I find that eliminates about 75% of the music – so I already know no rock, rap, country, techno, trance, house, pop, dance, etc.
  I tend to stick with a meditation cd, a chakra building cd which helps bring in natural energy, a few chanting and deep breathing cds, I have also enjoyed the rainforest cds. I personally use the following two cd’s when introducing them to friends and family, they are Music for Zen Meditation and Chakra Suite.

**Highly Recommended**
  I listen to these two cd’s at least once a month, they truly are unique within the on the market. If you want to begin relaxing and taking control of your stress these cds will help you get started.
