Do any of you "meditate" on your music?

I’ve been listening to this or similar for about 20 years. Pretty well exclusively. (started moving in that direction, in my early teens)

Doing my best to stay away from anything with vocals in it. Classical, of course, is similar. No vocalizations. A key point in meditative practices.

Unless I'm testing gear for how it fits for the rest of the world. Then one has to go all over the place and use familiars with a more well known flavor. The usual suspects of recordings and artists.

You can   meditate in the quite of a church , in the hustle and bustle of a
New York street  , the beauty of the Adirondack mountains , lying in bed and even in in a fire-fight of battle . I have done all that . There is no limit .
What carries me is the ancient prayer of Orthodox Christianity , " Lord
Jesus , Son of God have Mercy on me , a sinner ."That's all that is needed . But it must come , not from your brain but from
your heart .And that will come if you  practice it  a thousand times a day or only with your dying breath .

And of course meditation can be just as effective without any religious affiliation. 

Some sound very carefully created for meditation can help....No classical or jazz will do for meditation except to help relaxation...

Meditation begins after relaxation...I look for sound near silence....For example gong music carefully crafted for that...OM or even christian mantra....And some other different and designed pieces I need to help me if I feel distress....Then therapeutic music being a rung over classical or jazz, even if some classical has therapeutic virtue for sure, is a particular area...

I use classical and jazz for decelerating or for accelerating the thinking process when already in good mood and in control of myself...

I use some sound design music specific for meditate and controlling and  nullifiying the thinking process...

And some other specifically rhythmically and melodically designed also to cure anguish, transforming any negative in positive...(With great success but only with some specific sounds).


Music is so powerful, but underestimated completely by medical establishment and educational institution, they class it a recreational activity only....( except for some very informed and experienced people in these same institution for sure)
