My best meditations have been in silence, but sometimes my mind is too restless to be able to settle into so much nothingness. In those cases I've found listening to some relaxing music helps. There are types of sounds and music meant specifically for meditation, but my favorite of all has been this album that I'd like to share. It's called "Ocean Songs," created by The Dirty Three, a band from Australia. I especially enjoy the guitarist, who has played on another of my favorite albums, "Moon Pix" from Cat Power. It's instrumental, so throw this on and roll along with the tide-like movements of their sounds.
