Music to Inspire your home

As I mentioned previously, music can create an incredible feel in an environment. It can also make an environment unbearable and annoying. Think about some places, like big chain stores where the music was so annoying and bothered you so much that you had to get out of there as fast as you could. On the same note, think about places and people homes you have been to where the music was so soothing, engaging, enlivening and supportive of the space that everything felt great.

In my experience creating the perfect play lists, developing a well rounded and supportive sondtrack for your home and life can really help change the vibration and feeling of your space. While it is important for you to discover for yourself the right blend and mix of types and kinds of music, here are some suggestions that have worked great for me and my clients: (performer:album title)

Asana: Ohm Shanti
Bebel Gilberto: Momento (or just about anything Bebel puts out)
Lemongrass: Spa Sessions
Lsola D'Amore: The Ethereal Experience
Buddha Bar IX by Ravin
Destination Series
Eden: A collection of global chill
Xen Cuts
Anything by Nitan Sawhney
Anything by Girish
Anything by Snatam Kaur
Anything by Krishna Das
Siddartha--Spirit of Buddha Bar: Awakening
Baraka
Barramundi
Peter Nashel: Bee Season
Mark Oliver Everett: Levity
Ekstasis: Wake up and Dream

This should get you started. Feel free to explore these and others on iTunes and other places online. And explore new groups and artists in all genres.

I will post another group of recommendations in a few weeks.

Thanks for the list. I'd never heard Krishna Das - now I have bored everyone I know by telling them all they NEED to hear him! Great stuff, thank you again.
