Music for meditation

Music can play an effective role in helping us lead better, fruitful lives. Listening to specific kinds of music at specific times of the day has been shown to be helpful in maintaining good health. Indian music, with its many Ragas, is known to be particularly therapeutic. One vital point is that actually singing the raga will help more than listening to it.

It was discovered in ancient India that there are 7 basic musical notes, which were derived from sounds of nature or songs of various animals. Through meditation, we can feel that each note corresponds to a certain chakra, or energy wheel, within us. The chakra becomes activated when the frequency of the note matches that of the corresponding chakra and can be strengthened by it. By using the notes in certain combinations, the connection between the chakras is also activated.

Music has a way of carrying these Divine Vibrations, but music has to be Divine also.The music which is erotic or something very base or related to something very ugly doesn’t work out. But if it is a proper music of a proper type then it communicates. But that discretion only comes after realization. What you enjoy there is the vibrations. You feel the cool vibrations and you start enjoying it…The cool vibrations soothe you down.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

When the energy, vibrations and frequency of Indian classical music match with the energy, vibrations and frequency of the chakras, they get activated. This inner integration makes a natural path for the Kundalini to rise upward.

The Awakening of the Kundalini in Sahaja Yoga takes place with the touch of Musical Notes. The notes touch the Chakras and the Kundalini gets awakened. The Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara through the Sushumna (Central Path) and through the Chakras. The the Kundalini becomes one with God. Vibrations begin to flow, Yogis go into NIRANANDA (Joyful Meditation) and the seeker begins his journey on the path of evolution.
Dr Arun Apte

When rising, the Kundalini nourishes the chakras and provides proper energy to them. Since organs are connected with the chakras, they also get the proper and adequate energy required and thus the balance is restored. Once the Kundalini finds its path to rise, it rises and pierces through the fontanel bone area and forms connection with the cosmic energy (power of divine love): it enlightens the brain and activates all the nerves in the brain, which in return, enlighten the heart.

When a Sahaji listens to music, he hears it not through ears but through chakras. Chakras become the ears and Kundalini gets awakened.
Dr Arun Apte

I cannot compose anything without it (a glad ring,): for I translate into music the state my heart. When I think of the grace of God my heart is so full of joy that the notes fairly dance and leap from my pen
Joseph Haydn

It is my nature to be one with music. It’s not necessary to understand all the intricacies and all that ˆ but if you are in thoughtless awareness, the joy which was created by the artists starts flowing through your being and you can really enjoy the music.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Meditation music for Health

A recently-released study by the University of California suggests that singing can make one healthier. Increased levels of disease fighting proteins were discovered in the mouths of persons singing in the study. These proteins are used by the immune system of the body to fight disease. An increase of up to 150% was noted with the singers during rehearsals and around 240% increase was noted during performance. Many singers also reported a sense of happiness or euphoria when they sang. Robert Beck and Thomas Cesario who both conducted the study for the college of medicine suggested that the increase in levels of immune proteins might be because of the singer’s state of mind as they became more familiar with the music. Some of the subjects reported having deeply emotional reactions to performing. It was speculated that there could be a link between immune response and singer’s emotions. So, this study suggests that singing could be very good for our emotional and physical health.

I have been looking for the original music you had on the Sahaja meditation website several years ago. I used to meditate to it all the time. All of that disappeared until just recently I found one which is Raag Darbari and Raay Bhairavi – Arun Apte, #27 under Meditation tab on the previous screen for music, 9:18 minutes.
I really wish you would bring back all the other music that was on that previous website for each chakra. That is what I started with to learn how to meditate and am very comfortable meditating to that music. Of course, I have experienced other music, but really enjoy those selections. It makes me feel very in tune and comfortable to meditate to all of that music. Please bring back all of those selections.
Thank you.

Hello All, Thanks for creating this website. Such a beautiful collection. I think still not many yogis are aware of it or they cannot run it through their mobile because of flash dependency. Do you have any plans to develop a Mobile application for this. I would love to contribute towards the same.
Thanks for the beautiful collection 🙂
