Dissecting meditation

[Mulberry]

I can help, but not very well. You need your OWN brainwaves in that state, and listening to music may not get you there.

Listening to binaural beats, which plays a different tone into each ear over headphones is proven to help regulate brainwave patterns, as researched by the Monroe Institute. You can get them free on youtube, but many “binaural beats” on youtube are fake and not actually binaural beats, they’re just grifting, so watch the reviews and use your discernment.

Personally I don’t use binaural beats, I use a Shamanic journey drumming tape where the beat is the right frequency and rely on myself to follow the beat into trance, or I beat my own (physical) drum.

We have a thread about ritual music here:

What music do you play while doing rituals or meditating? - Ritual Music Thread

I noticed there is a “cool music thread”, but from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t talk about music for rituals or magick overall, that’s why I wanted to create this thread. But let’s get straight to the point: I find that sound is really important to set the right mood in order to perform rituals or simply meditate, but to be more specific, I’m talking about music. Depending on the aim of the ritual, I look for dark ambient music or relaxing ambient music. But I wanted to ask the magicians of this forum as well, so: What music do you play while doing rituals or meditating to set the right mood?

There’s a lot with “ritual music” in the title that aren’t that useful, and loads that are … I might have to do a clean up and make a Collection for music specifically for trance work.
