Meditation music for Kundalini Yoga

Meditation is an important part of Yoga practices. Meditation or Dhyana is the seventh limb of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Meditation helps an individual reach a state of tranquility and the practitioner is rejuvenated with ultimate serenity. Through meditation, one can experience a calm and relaxed state of mind. Highest joy is realized as the practitioner experience the oneness with their own center of consciousness, the Atma.

Kundalini Yoga is a powerful yoga form that focuses on awakening of the Kundalini, the energy of consciousness. Kundalini energy is visualized as a snake coiled up in the first chakra found at the base of the spine (Muladhara chakra). Kundalini energy is one’s potential spiritual energy. As an individual starts Kundalini Yoga, the Kundalini energy rises up the Nadi (Kundalini channels) helping the mortal to surpass the external material pleasure and help him/her achieve a consciousness that brings freedom from illusion (Maya).

Music has always been the best communicator of feelings, thoughts and ideas. In the realm of yoga, music is considered to be the concentrator or an accelerator of the mind. The intimate touch of sound and music has the divine charisma of penetrating the whole being and revitalizing every sense of the listener. Music heals the pain and helps to relax the senses from within. Different music has the ability to create different ambiance and in meditation, the best music is one that brings greater harmony. Meditation is only possible when the ambiance is calm and relaxed. Thus, Meditation Music must contain tranquil and soothing sounds that will incite peace and relaxation.

Have you taken philosophy or studied it independently?

And if so, what books did you read? Who did you listen to? If it’s more of a personal interest, what helped you through the books to gain some understanding of their meaning? I can read the texts and get a meaning. But I also get the feeling that I’m missing what is really being said. I’m looking for any sort of resource that might help me understand this difficult branch of knowledge better.
Especially of interest to me are “The Trial and Death of Socrates” dialogues, Cicero’s “On the Good Life”, Descartes “Meditations On First Philosophy”, Heidegger’s “Discourse On Thinking”, Aristotle’s “MetaPhysics” and anything that discusses these. Whether it be webpage, audio file(podcast), book or even the name of someone who could help, any input you could add is greatly appreciated.
But before it is suggested, let me say that I have already taken an intro to philosophy class. And it was a failure as far as understanding is concerned.

Both, actually. For a really good intro to philosophy, I would suggest A couple of Mortimer Adler’s books. “Aristotle for Everyone,” “Six Great Ideas,” and “Ten Philosophical Mistakes.” After that, there is a series of books available at Borders, etc., called VLIs. It stands for Very Little Introduction. They give a pretty good introduction to a wide variety of subjects. After all of that, you should be pretty well prepped for any source text you want to read,
