Best Songs for Meditation by American Musicians
BESTS 
Tags: Music, Meditation, Relaxation, America
Here, in no particular order, are some really great songs for meditation by American musicians (either born in America or living here currently).
| | "Samsara" from the album Union by Rasa - "Rasa's music is based on Indian devotional songs from the Vaishnava tradition. Combining these songs with their unique arrangements, RASA has developed a sound that is soulful, respectful of the traditional sources, and very accessible to a western audience. Their music blends meditative, transcendental, and ethereal qualities into an elegant, contemporary style." |
| | "The Rock Garden" from the album On The Drift by The Bedlam Bards - "With a fervent accoustic style, the Bedlam Bards perform music inspired by Firefly and Serenity." "The Rock Garden" is "a quiet contemplation adapted from a portion of the show soundtrack", and a short but lovely instrumental piece featuring melodic finger picking on mandola and guitar. |
| | "Deventure" from the album Vitulari by Sam Moses and James "Cedric" Hazlerig - an improvised instrumental piece played on mandola and viola, truly trance-inducing. |
| | "Mother Ocean" from the album Medicine Prayer by Memo - "You sit in contemplation on the Malibu shore in “Mother Ocean.” (“Malibu” is the Chumash Indian word meaning “the surf sounds loudly.”} Memo recorded the surf at world-famous Paradise Cove where the waves are particularly haunting, holding the mysteries of the Chumash elders and incorporated it into this track." |
| | "Ahimsa" from the album The Path of Peace by Visionsound - Ben Dowling/Mark Wagner - "A technology-enabled artistic collaboration, the disc combines the contemplative piano music of Ben Dowling with original paintings and drawings by Mark Wagner." |
| | "Om Mani Padme Hum" from the album Skies Above Skies by Constance Demby - "The Tibetan chant "Om Mani Padme Hum" offers intoxicating layers upon layers of sounds and voices." |
