Meditation Music for
Everyone

FOR THE MYSTIC Invocation by Ty Burhoe

When you're new to meditation, Sanskrit mantras sound as accessible as doing an inverted Lotus handstand your first time on the mat. But Invocation is actually as attainable as Child's pose. Featuring beautiful vocals and classical instruments, the tracks range from orchestral to quiet and contemplative. The music stirs up the same feeling you might get seeing Pink Floyd in concert: Wow.

FOR THE HOMEBODY Yoga Meditations Collection
In this three-disc set, doyennes Beryl Bender Birch, Cyndi Lee, and Gael Chiarella guide you through relaxing meditation techniques--including breathing and muscle tension release--perfect for unwinding after home-based Hatha or just before bed.

FOR THE ADVENTUROUS Chakra Balancing: Body, Mind, and Soul by Deepak Chopra

If you have even an ounce of curiosity about chakras (that's Sanskrit for the energy centers in the body), then give these discs a spin. The first has 11 tracks of soothing music. On the second, Chopra explains the seven chakras. Even if the meditation doesn't floor you, it'll inspire you to live more consciously.
