What meditation/chill music do you put on to ground yourself? (piefed.social)

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!

mynoise is my favourite noise generator site. every sound across hundreds of different generators is organically sourced by the owner, which sounds hyperbolic but it's not.

I've come across it a while ago, even got it on my phone. But I don't really understand how it works, or what the sliders really do :(

[–] jahtnamas@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

the sliders are just the overall volume for the individual noise tracks. best way to see this in action is going through all the presets on the left. i'll reinstall the app real quick to remind myself how that works there.

ETA: oh it's literally a button labeled "presets". you can also bring up the slider labels with a long hold on the circle, or mouse-over on desktop.

Thank you! I honestly played a bunch around with it before, and read a bunch of text on their website but didn't get it 😅
