Hello Followers,

Welcome to Tuesday!

The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments, let the music in.

The question that is asked quite often is, does meditation music work?

The answer is, YES!

Meditation music works, and numerous studies support its efficacy.

A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that participants who listened to meditation music experienced significant reductions in anxiety and stress levels compared to those who did not listen to music.

Another research conducted by the International Journal of Yoga highlighted that listening to calming music during meditation sessions enhanced participants’ ability to focus and stay in the present moment.

The benefits of listening to meditation music are not limited to emotional well-being.

Research in the Journal of Sleep Research indicates that meditation music can improve sleep quality, helping individuals fall asleep faster and enjoy more restful sleep.

This shows the wide-ranging positive impacts that meditation music can have on various aspects of life.

This week Dan and I will explore the benefits to music meditation.
