This music is used as a buddhist relaxation method. It is supposed to cleanse the mind and help you feel at ease. It makes you mindful and aware of not only yourself, but of the world around you. Although there are some similar meditative practices, there is also a wide range of variety when it comes to meditating. While meditating, there should be no room for distraction. You solely focus on you and only you. I personally have tried it, and I must say... I love it.
“We could say that meditation doesn’t have a reason or doesn’t have a purpose. In this respect it’s unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don’t do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.”

I agree with the fact that this type of music helped me cleanse my mind and clear it. I listened to this music while I was in my room by myself without any distractions or other noises. I was surprised that this meditation really helped me become calm and collected. During the meditation I focused on myself and not anything else and it helped me have more control over my mind and emotions.
ReplyDeleteI really like the choice of music that you presented. It made me feel really calm, and sort of shut myself out from everything around me. After listening to the meditating music, I can say that it helped me not only open up my mind, but get more in touch with myself as well.
