Good Music!

[Pompal 09.]

The place I work at pipes in music that's okay, but not great, and it repeats often enough that I'm convinced there is at most 100 songs that it randomly selects from. *sigh* So when anywhere else, I like having GOOD music for ambiance!

I've found that some CDs designed for yoga practice make an excellent choice. The music tends to be soothing yet with an undercurrent of movement that keeps it interesting and fun to listen to.

I've also become a fan of Paul Schwartz, a modern classical composer. The CDs I have by him are beautiful, and I look forward to getting more of them. His music also works well for yoga practice.

I agree with you, Jason, about yoga music. These are my 2 favorite CD's: Yoga Spirit and Spirit of Yoga.

I use them mostly for Thai massage but I have used them for Swedish massage as well. I will check out the CD's you mentioned, it's hard to find good music for Thai massage; a lot fo times it's too much beat.

I also like this one:

Solitudes (sold at Bed Bath and Beyond, out of all places!) has a lot of good CD's. They also have a web site.

i use these cds more than any others that i have, my clients comment on them, seem to really like them, AND they seem to really put people in a special place to receive massage. it seems that people relax easier, more quickly. read descriptions carefully that you don't buy cds with the guided meditations (unless that is what you or your clients want).

they will usually say if the cd is good for massage or other bodywork, or energy work.
