People meditate for a variety of reasons, but regardless of what they are, you can enhance the good effects by also listening to relaxing music.
One of the impacts of soothing music during meditation is it brings out positive emotions, according to a 2018 Scientific Reports study.
The research further said these types of emotions became much stronger when the participants associated the sound with their personal memories. The emotions remained positive, even if the music was already unpleasant and melancholic.
This is important in meditation because, at the end of the day, you want to feel good about yourself and the entire experience.
