i have begun chakra meditation and i would like to know if listening to music can degrade the meditation because i would really like to listen to some music while meditating.
I think it also depends on the music. Vibrations are very little understood, in the full sense, in the modern world. Most 'music' today truly has a cacophonous effect on our being. Silence would be best for true meditative practice.
I had some progress with a psi wheel made of foil and I can't stop wondering if it was just static electricity witch was in the foil or was it me who moved it.
