I usually have a meditative sound playing but if I’m really feeling it I’ll sit in darkness and have Gregorian Chants playing.
I don’t deliberately use sound but when I hear something while meditating I try to notice it without judging it and then I let the thought go and I come back to meditation
I use headspace and follow it, there is no background sound and I’m cool with it but I guess if I was in a busy place it might be useful to have a sound -it also depends on the type of meditation you’ll chose-
Yes, I like starting my meditation with nature sounds and the meditation sound from the app. I like doing a silent meditation afterwards.
Yes, I really prefer to have either a guided meditation or soft meditation music in the background. I’m very, very picky about which voice I choose when selecting guided meditations, as I am a voice coach. I find the music and/or voice help me disconnect and relax much faster than without. And music enhances my meditative state. But I have a friend who can meditate with or without sound. He amazes me.
I have to have at least some kind of noise, even if it’s white noise. I don’t often use music, though- just ambient or nature sounds.
I actually have loved guided meditations. I find it easier to concentrate while I get better at it and start doing it with just relaxing music.
I always use some kind of sound while meditating. I put my earphones ons so that the distraction of other sounds is minimal. Most of the time I use a soft sound as background noice such as waves, the crackling of a fire or rain falling down. When concentrating is difficult I use a more complicated sound, sometimes some ambient music that I like.
yes, i usually use sound when i meditate. i prefer guided meditations at the moment, but i still like hearing nature sounds, that’s relaxing for me.
Most of the time yes. I live on a busy street with lots of traffic. I enjoy Hz frequencies for the vibrational energy. When I’m outside in a park or the beach, I enjoy the sounds of nature.
