Mindful Monday: Music to set the tone

Published

on

Are you new at meditation? Playing a little background music for beginners can really help set the tone of the environment. There are often loud sounds and interruptions all around us. If a silent meditation is just not an easy option for you and your mind feels too busy, here are a few music choices to consider from two of my favorite mindful friends. Plan on getting to know both Joanna and Sunday a little better in upcoming Mindful Monday features!
