Music effective for meditation. Recommended BGM to calm the mind.

Do you know about meditation?

Basically, you close your eyes and either think quietly or, conversely, empty your mind.

By calming the mind through meditation, it is said to help reduce stress and improve your overall condition.

In this article, I’ll introduce music that is effective for meditation.

With meditation and music, please take some time to relax your mind and body, which may be accumulating daily fatigue.

Mozart

Mozart for Long Work Sessions: 42 Pieces (W.A. Mozart Medley)
Mozart

Classical music—especially Mozart—is said to have healing effects, and a therapy called “Mozart therapy,” which involves treating various illnesses by listening to Mozart, is actually practiced both in Japan and abroad.

There’s even alcohol that is fermented while being exposed to Mozart’s music, with the effects highly anticipated.

Forest sounds

Forest sounds

The forest sounds centered on wild birds’ calls have an outstanding healing effect, making you feel as if you’re meditating in the woods and even giving you the illusion of being bathed in negative ions.

I hear this recording was made in the forest by the shores of Lake Towada.

I suppose in the old days you could hear birds chirping like this no matter where you were in the country.

The sound of waves

The sound of waves

It’s often said that all living things were born from the sea, and doesn’t the sound of waves make you want to keep listening forever? The sound of the waves is like the Earth’s breathing, evoking a world beyond humanity.

If you meditate while listening to it, won’t your mind grow calm, and you may rediscover the wonders of nature.

Music from a Turkish psychedelic dub band that feels like a warm bath.

With the saz, a Turkish stringed instrument, weaving Arab-flavored melodies, the sound is rich with Middle Eastern atmosphere—perfect for slipping into deep meditation! Light some incense, and the vibe will rise even higher!

I Riden Så (Ye Ride So Carefully)Gjallarhorn

Gjallarhorn – I Riden Så (Ye Ride So Carefully)
I Riden Så (Ye Ride So Carefully)Gjallarhorn

They’re a little-known Finnish group active since 1994.

The band took its name from a horn that appears in Norse mythology, and most of their songs are about Norse myths.

Centered around folk instruments, their misty music evokes forests and sea-of-trees landscapes.
