Hey y'all!

I'm trying to add more tools to my arsenal to just quiet down and ground myself, and make it easier to start and stay in meditation.

I find that Andean pan flute and such has really helped me in the past, but I can't find any good albums/playlist or songs anymore. Leo Rojas has some nice tunes, but also some way too active ones.

An example of something that really makes me melt is the beginning of this instrumental:

Just waves, no unnecessary stuff at the side with a different tempo or volume, etc.

But this thread isn't just about me! Please feel free to share what music helps you to ground, relax and find calm. I'm sure it can be useful for other folx browsing. :)

Thank you!

I've always found post rock/metal to be pretty grounding to me.

explosions in the sky (your hand in mine)
pg.lost (along the edges)
the evpatoria report (taijin kyofusho)
red sparowes (in illusions of order)

few of my favorites. although i feel like the albums are worth listening through end to end as a lot of them transition and have a sort of journey element to them, if that makes sense
