Depending on your own personal preference, you may prefer to meditate in silence with only the natural sounds of whatever is in your area as accompaniment to your meditation. Or you may prefer to use meditation music as a background to your meditation.
Meditation music could be useful if you have a good level of background noise nearby. For instance, it could be traffic noise meditation music, children playing outside, maybe a structure job that's started near to you and is disturbing your meditation. Or it could simply be that you prefer to be lulled into your meditative state with the assistance of music.
If you're meditating with friends or members of your household, then wearing some music could be a good way to help your meditation session. Likewise if you can find children in your meditation group you may find which they get less easily distracted if there is some gentle music involved.
The sort of music you use depends on your individual preferences. Many people even have the ability to meditate whilst hearing heavy metal music although I must admit I'm at a loss to learn how they manage!
Most purpose made meditation music will use natural instruments - acoustic guitars, flutes, etc. Although some modern meditation music will achieve its aim with electronic instruments. If you receive a chance, be sure that you pay attention to a sample when you commit to purchase. Most websites from Amazon downwards will give you the chance to listen to a brief sample of the tracks they've available and you need to be able to get advisable of how well you'll like the choice from these samples.
One more thing to think about is whether or not the music includes any binaural beats - sometimes known as brainwave beats. These may help your brain reach a meditative state quickly and easily and you will probably find your meditation is deeper if the music you're hearing includes binaural beats behind it.
If you've never tried a meditation session with music in the backdrop, give it a go. You may be amazed at the outcome. And in the event that you don't want it, at least you've given it a go!
