It is human tendency to associate music with
different times, places and people. And without a doubt, music helps to
contour the atmosphere and can be changed to ensemble or persuade the
mood. Since Reiki requires concentration of mind on energies, music
assists to bring the focus to healing therapy. Reiki is the time for
your inner reflection and music facilitates in setting the feel for
relaxation and rumination.
Reiki music could be defined as relaxing or healing, but the ultimate
idea is to quiet down your mind and body. Generally some background
music is played during the practice of Reiki to enhance the treatment,
meditation and attunement. One can create a space of wellbeing and
relaxation by playing acoustic music in a quiet room, leaving all
worries aside. However, it is not compulsory to play music and it
completely depends on your wish.
For practicing Reiki, music with natural sounds is most preferred that
could either have chirping of birds or cascading of waters. People
usually prefer quiet electronic music, composed of flute, guitars and
keyboards. Sometimes, music containing selected chants of Sanskrit
verses, sacred chants of Buddha or Hindu mantras, is preferred to create
the sonic environment for meditation. The chorus of chants and
overtones, with singing bowls and gongs, guide you up and down the
chakras.
Moreover, the soundtrack meant for meditation has theta-level sound
patterning that augments whole brain synchronization. The musical sounds
develop a graceful ambience, where a soft feel becomes an adjunct to the
flight of meditation and healing. Music at times becomes essential, when
there are distractions around. It acts as a backdrop for relaxation.
Thus, music used during Reiki varies from person to person, but it must
always be soothing.
