Do you have favorite music for meditation? Some people prefer to meditate in silence and others like to have some relaxing music on to quiet the mind and keep the conscious mind occupied during meditation. Personally I like both. Sometimes I like to have music on and sometimes I don’t. When I am writing in my journals or making art journals I love to have soothing music on.

Eventually Michael Balch went a different way and Bill Leeb continued working with Rhys Fulber as Delerium.

They have worked with a rotating lineup of female vocalists for Delerium projects including , and Lisa Gerrard from Dead Can Dance.Recommended album:         Sheila Chandra is known for her rich voice and her mastery of the ancient drone style of singing. Her music is haunting and melodious and fantastic for meditation, especially songs like Om Namaha Shiva which is a mantra that is beautifully sung. While she doesn’t sing anymore due to illness she has an extensive body of work that is still wonderful to listen to and to play during meditation. Recommended album:         Desert Dwellers Desert Dwellers is the working name for two American DJs who got into the world music and world fusion music scene in the 90s when it was just starting to take off in the US.
