Meditation Music like Kay Gardner's A Rainbow Path

June 2, 2016 7:11 AM

I'm looking for music like this album: good for meditation, loosely "new age" or spiritual, musically rich and not cheesy. (It doesn't have to be chakra-related, but that's a bonus.) Any leads at all are appreciated.

Best answer: I haven't listened to it yet, but Moby just did a thing.

Best answer: Robert Rich's latest release, What We Left Behind. Or any other of his numerous works, such as the amazing, 7-hour long Somnium.

Liquid Mind also has quite a few lovely recordings available.

There are hours and hours of such music available on YouTube, such as this piece by Steve Roach. I listen to these works to get me through my work day.

Best answer: You might like Popol Vuh. Lots of good stuff in his catalog. Here's one: Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra

Best answer: Have you ever listened to Alice Coltrane? I think some of her work might scratch this particular itch. Journey in Satchidananda springs to mind.

Best answer: Oh, also, Andrew Bird's instrumental works are pretty conducive to meditation. Useless Creatures is great, here's my favorite track from it.

Best answer: I <3 Tony Scott's (not the director) "Music for Zen Meditation" for this.
