Rep Power: 0 | | | If u have to listen to music,listen to the Tibbetan music made for meditation,or natural sounds.But the best way to meditate is in the nature ,listening to the real birds,and real waterfalls. |

Rep Power: 0 | | | There is this field by my house that is town property, and there are woods in the middle of it. Sometimes I go and do my horse stance there or some meditations and just listen to the birds in the trees. But if I wanna go nuts on a heavy bag I like listenin to music thats hard and fast. But I usually don't go nuts on a heavy bag... |

Rep Power: 24 | | | I don't usually use music unless I'm meditating in a busy place (like downtown). I don't own any tibetan music, but I'm sure that would work wonders. I usually use super slow music of capoeira angola. Check out Carolina Soares, she's pretty awesome.

Rep Power: 6 | | | This may sound slightly "New Age" but I find that practicing forms to music helps my rythm. For example, In the "A man should be of self help" Song (General Mandate) my favorite version starts off very slow with a drum beat, during this slow drum beat I like to perform my salute slowly and continuos. Then the song goes into a more rapid drum beat and the lyrics start, so, naturally this is the time to speed up and quickly execute all of the techniques.
Music during stretching helps me relax. By relaxing my muscles while in the middle split, I find that I can hold it as long as 10 minutes straight. It also helps me focus on something else besides the burn, I like to focus on the song that is being played and not move from my position, sometimes I even get soo caught up in the song that I don't feel the pain anymore.
So, to answer your question, if you are the kind of person who likes music when working out, Then General Mandate is the song I like the most to work out to. I have even competed in competitions and played this music while performing.  |

Rep Power: 157 | | I was told to avoid music with words during certain chi kung training. The reasons were pretty esoteric (and the only thing in all my training I've ever been told to keep quiet on the specifics of)
Music will only adversly affect your training if you can't control your senses - specifically your hearing. If your mind insists on grasping after the sound then the music is getting in the way. Some teachers think it can be useful - it affects the mood, the emotions, and some people get into some esoteric stuff about vibration.
When I listen to music it's either in class or when doing chi kung. It's always the kind of atmospheric "new age" rubbish I'd run a long way to avoid normally but it works really well for training. Current favourate is ke le ma la by "antion" - www.antion.info (not that I've ever been interested enough to visit the site)
A few years ago we visited a trappist monastry in Slovenia. The monastry was not open to visitors but you could walk around the public chapel, next door to the church where the monks gathered for chanting (the only time most were permitted to speak). We were the only visitors. When the chanting started it was amazing - I suddenly understood why every crappy "ambient" cd was ever bought - even though they can never capture that sound or feeling. If I had my choice I'd train in that chapel listening to those monks.
