I started meditating about four years ago when I started college. It's one of the only things that truly centres me before I start my day or calms me [1] after a stressful one. I'm also of the opinion that anything is better if you add music to it. It only makes sense then that I love playing music in the background of my meditation sessions. Music gives me a rhythm I can match my breath to, which allows me to more clearly focus during meditation [2]. So, grab your meditation cushion [3] or mat, and ease into a relaxing practice with this calming meditation playlist. I'm willing to bet you won't want to go back to sitting in silence.

Just remember, you'll need to download the free Spotify [4] software or app to listen.
