Reiki practitioners know that choosing the appropriate kind of music to use in meditation sessions is extremely important.
The benefits of Reiki meditation music are two-fold:
It can be especially soothing to the patient and healer, and it can bring the energies of both together to make sessions especially rewarding.
Essentially, Reiki meditation music should have peaceful qualities that will resonate in the listener's soul.
You should avoid distracting music that will interfere with the focus of both patient and healer as the attuning process is underway.
Of course, we all have favorite songs that make us want to sing and dance, and that's great.
But that type of music isn't useful for meditation purposes.
Certain sounds are commonly associated with Reiki meditation music, such as the flute and other wind instruments, gongs, and chimes.
Some people have found that piano music aids in the healing process.
That said, the soothing sounds produced by wind instruments have long been used in Reiki sessions to bring together the energies of the healer and patient.
Another good form of Reiki meditation music comes from the sounds from nature.
Among the most effective nature sounds are those of water, either bubbling through brooks or splashing down waterfalls, and falling rain.
You can also try songs of animals and birds, and even wind blowing.
This type of peaceful music is available in many places.
In bookstores that have sections on alternative medicine or new age healing, you may find a sizable selection of CDs will be useful to you in your meditation sessions.
People who are trying meditation to alleviate excess stress often have the same problem - they discover that their mind wanders back to the problems they're trying to forget by practicing meditation!
It's vitally important for people in this category to select the correct Reiki meditation music.
Reiki meditation music should be able to let the patient relax to the point that worries are temporarily forgotten, which in turn heals the overwrought physical self and soothes the troubled mind.
