When I meditated to space and nature sounds I found that it inspired and lifted me up. The music also made it more fun to meditate. I enjoy shakuhachi flute and contemporary meditation music as well, but I find there's something magical about connecting with nature.
The only negative effect of
meditation music I can think of would be that the music can be distracting. So, if you're having a bad day and find yourself getting easily distracted, lie down, relax and become one with the silence. On the other hand, if you're in the mood to meditate to the sound of crashing waves, do it.
After years of meditation practice I mostly meditate without any background music. I find that silence also has a calming affect on the mind, however, sometimes I put the cd player to work and let the music inspire me.
I strongly recommend the following products:
Michael Hammer,
space sounds,
nature sounds and
vibrant shakuhachi flute.
Best of luck!
