MUSIC FOR RELAXATION AND MEDITATION

The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Meditative music can help in establishing a meditative atmosphere. Listening to soothing and relaxing music can help you to unwind and relax. The music can lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels. You can’t avoid all stress, but you can counteract its negative effects. The relaxation response brings your system back into balance: deepening your breathing, reducing stress hormones, slowing down your heart rate and blood pressure, and relaxing your muscles.

The listed CD music recordings are available at the Newton Free Library. The Newton Free Library, as well as the Minuteman Library Network, has many other CD music recordings that will provide hours of listening pleasure. The following subject headings can be used to find additional meditative music for relaxation: “relaxation - songs and music”; “music for relaxation”; “sacred vocal music”; “instrumental music”; and, “music for meditation.” Ask a librarian, if you need help.
