Do any of you "meditate" on your music?


I'm convinced that music is perfect for meditation. The whole work of the meditation is in truly locating attention within the sound, gently relaxing into the music, noticing tones and textures, melodies, instruments, notes and all the rest. The meditating mind is one that learns to relax with the music, not straining to hear particular notes, just relaxing and allowing the mind to tune in. Increasingly simple attunement with the flowing, fluttering, singing, springing, dynamic, thumping music, has been my general approach. Unexpectedly, this frame of mind which might be known as a way of listening doesn't seem far off from what is practiced by some audiophiles, except that it moves away from much of what is critical. In this way, the music flows into the room and then it is received, simply, with relaxation. Critical reflection upon the music, which ancillary to listening, is gently set to the side. The practice of the preceding phrase is associated with building patience towards oneself.

Been meditatiing for the past 3 days, since I picked up my new odyssey Kismet monos.
 There really is a break in, and it’s strange!

 No bass, to killer bass, a sound which feels like it’s sucking you in, to a sound which extends and engulfs you.

 Chunky midrange, to extended Dave mustaine guitar and Paul Gilbert, Malmsteen, wishbone ash, foghat.

past two n a half days has been pretty cool!
cant wait for another 350 hours to hear a difference.

been listening past few days.
 So cool, to hear a difference day after day.

 I love it.  These Kismet mono amps are amazing.


My question is - how long before I can't rest without searching for another part of my system... this is where meditative force helps a person to consider their actions, as to whether they are limiting habits, practiced escape hatches, or sources of real joy and liberation. 

The meditator is concerned with letting go of boundaries and barriers to effortless listening. It just grows, with attention.

The mind is complex enough to listen both receptively and critically.
Receptive listening is vital to a love of music.
