The soothing sounds of nature

This is going to sound really wanky but I’ve found that listening to meditation music whilst working is very effective, particularly if you have a stressful client or are working to a deadline.

A couple of weeks ago, Jenn took me away for the weekend (for my birthday) and also threw in a full Swedish massage. Whilst laying there on the creaky table, getting the ol’ chop-suey from some buff guy, I started to realise the music they play works really well. We’re talking rain, rainforests, rivers, wind, waves, birds, more rain, pan flutes and celtic harps. And thunder is also quite common, which I kinda like, but I know some people wouldn’t find it relaxing at all (yes Jenn I mean you).

So I’ve acquired a selection of soundtracks. If you actually listen to it, it’s pretty boring, and you can really notice where they have played with it by adding sound effects etc. But if you just have it playing in the background while you work it’s quite nice. Very relaxing. Give it a try.

    haha – you know me well. I might not like the thunder, but the rest sounds great. They may come in handy in the future – perhaps when I really need to relax.
