New Age Music as supportive background at home and at work

In our society we are very much function-oriented. Meaning among other things that when we create our environment our highest priority is to fulfill certain functions.
We make sure the office has facilities for the computers we use there.
The kitchen has all we need for cooking.
That's obvious.

But, we tend to forget, that an environment is more than it's function, more than the obvious.

Although the color of the office walls is not an obvious factor when you work on your computer, it still affects you. You might want a blue color there to increase your mental clarity. And another color in your kitchen or your bedroom.

The same thing goes for the sounds around you.
By consciously using background music at home and at work you create the atmosphere, that can support you in exactly the ways you need.

Use New Age Music for work that requires concentration, mental and emotional balance.
And let it play at home when you want to relax.

You don't have to listen to it consciously, just let it be there and influence you in it's own subtle way.

New Age Music as relaxation for you, your family and even your pets

New Age Music is absolutely perfect for relaxation, and it can be used in several ways.

As mentioned before, you can play it in the background:
When you need to relax after work or after school.
When it's time to sleep for your children or you.
And even when your pets seem to be uneasy (like at thunderstorms).

You can also choose to make deep relaxation and meditation part of your daily life. This will help you not only here and now, but it will create a better balance in all aspects of your life.

New Age music can help you feel the healing power of nature -
even in the middle of a large city

One of the countries where Pushkar's music has been specially popular is Japan. And why?
Our Japanese partners explained it with the fact that most people in Japan live in huge cities. The nearest forest might be hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Therefore, listening to relaxing New Age Music with nature sounds such as bird song or ocean waves is the easiest way to get the feeling of nature around you.
Many Japanese people are very conscious about that, and they play New Age Music both at home and at work.

And with the feeling comes the healing...
It is as though the balance and aliveness found in nature provides a key for our body and mind to enter a more natural state itself, to heal itself.
This can then be enhanced with music that both includes these natural sounds, and provides further healing or balancing with it's own tones and energies.

New Age Music can help you to keep in touch with your resources

We are told, that we use only 1/10 of all the resources (mental, emotional and even physical) we have.

I'm sure you remember a situation where you were in a hurry or stressed in some way, and you worked harder and harder, made more and more mistakes, and felt worse and worse in every respect. And you couldn't stop either. You just wished this task or this day was over, and you could forget all about it.

In a situation like the one described above you experience a growing tension. This tension creates blocks in your system: you feel down or frustrated, you experience confusion or lack of clarity, you feel stuck.
Even if you are still able to focus on your present goal, these tense blocks within you prevent you from reaching it fast and effortlessly.

New Age Music can help you to relax , dissolve the tension and re-create the overall balance . It can open the way to those resources that you need most right there.

Use New Age Music to get rid of unnecessary complexities

Sometimes, when you have to make a choice, or prioritize your activities, or find a solution to a problem, you become all confused. It's like you can see things from 10 different angles, and nothing seems right, and everything seems to be very complicated.
At some point you get so frustrated, you know you can't solve this one, and maybe you decide to just forget all about it and take a walk in the nearby forest.

If you do, you might experience that in some unexplainable way, while you are walking, the solution pops up out of the blue. Now you know exactly what to do. It's simple.

It's the healing power of nature at work, I think.
Also, nature being an extremely complex organism, is still full of simplicity as such. It's complex but it's not chaotic. Nature is wise.
When you take a walk there, you become part of that natural simplicity and inner knowing. You get inspired. You fall into place. You know what to do.

Now, if you're not the lucky kind that can take a walk in the forest whenever you need to, you might want to get in touch with nature's (and your own!) simplicity and wisdom by taking a break, letting go of your problem, relaxing deeply and listening to New Age Music. That works too!

Use New Age Music for faster and better problem solving

It's good that you can do something about pressure when it occurs.
But it's even better to build a foundation that will help you to work more efficiently in the long run.

Studies show that if you do deep relaxation or meditation on a regular basis (preferably every day) you will enhance your ability to solve problems. You will become more creative, find better solutions and find them faster.

If you do this with New Age Music in the background it might work even stronger:

Reduce the effects of stress-factors you cannot remove

Although a light degree of stress can be beneficial (just to keep you alive and alert), stress as a permanent factor in your life is not for the good. It is even said to be a major reason for at least half of the health problems in the Western societies.

Thus, one of the best things you can do is either remove the source of stress from your life, or to remove yourself from the sources of stress.

Having to live with stress around you, at least do your best to reduce the influence of stress on you. Don't let it get you!

The best way to prevent an outer stress from influencing you too much is to create an inner peace, that won't be easily disturbed by outer pressures.
This of course is not necessarily easy. But it's worth the work, that's for sure.

As was the case in the previous paragraph, you do it by building and strengthening an inner balance, day after day. You do it by means of deep relaxation and meditation, and you can use New Age Music as background for that.

That's the foundation.
But you also need to learn to stay in touch with that foundation when you are being influenced by stress.
If possible, playing your relaxation music in the background will help you.

If you're still easily influenced by the stressful conditions around you, you'll need to somehow learn to stay in touch with yourself, your body, your inner peace rather then letting the rush take you.
Maybe find something that will remind you that you want to stay calm and that you don't have to get stressed.

Stress has different forms and I wonder if maybe it's greatest influence is when you are not aware of whatever disturbs you at the moment.
So, again, try and find something that will help you to be aware of whatever is going around you and at the same time not focus on that, but rather stay centered and focus on your inner peace.

Enjoy better health

As I mentioned in the previous paragraphs, there is a direct correlation between the amount of stress in your life and your physical and mental health.
When reducing stress you improve your health. It's as simple as that.

Now, normally when we talk about stress, we think about something external that bothers us here and now. Too much work, or too much noise, or too little time.

But stress can also be a an internal condition, caused by emotional or physical events that have taken place long ago - even many years ago.
As a response to childhood trauma, or just feelings that were not expressed at the right time, or maybe some continuous physical pressures long time ago, you might have created permanent tensions within you - both physical, emotional and mental tensions. It is quite likely that these tensions express themselves as health problems as well.

Regular deep relaxation or meditation will sooner or later help you release some of these deeper tensions and problems. That too might result in improved health.
It's important that you do not force a balance or a release of tension. It is not possible and it is not beneficial either.
But if you just keep on doing your relaxation or meditation every day, it is very possible your system will start to heal itself, little by little.

Mostly you will experience an overall improvement - a growing feeling of inner balance - little by little, over a long period of time.
But from time to time you might experience and unexpected release of some kind. Maybe you suddenly feel an old anger, or sorrow, or even joy. Releasing it means just letting it be. Don't stop it and don't reinforce it.
Normally it will stop by itself. If you want to, you can then use some New Age Music to soothe you or comfort you.

Enjoy a better connection to your inner world - without being a monk :-))

Our modern world has become so focused on material wealth, that many people have discovered that something is missing in their life. A different kind of abundance. A connection to their inner self. A connection to that which is greater than us. A sense of unity, love and joy.

In the old days, when feeling like that, it would be common either to engage in some religious practice or even to become a monk or nun.

Today we don't have to choose between religion or spirituality and mundane life.
Daily meditation enables you to connect to your inner world, or God, and at the same time live a normal life.
There are many meditation techniques, and some of them work fine with New Age Music.

End your day with a content smile on your face

Of course, if you meditate or relax daily, and if you don't get too stressed, and if your health improves you will be more content...

Besides that, New Age Music can provide a wonderful way of ending your day:
Listen to it when you go to sleep.
Let it help you relax and let go, and let it's beauty remind you of the inner reality you can visit when you sleep.

It's that simple! And chances are you feel a little bit more refreshed, energetic and happy when you wake up in the morning!

How to do it and how to choose it

In the New Age Music articles here you'll see suggested recordings of the New Age Music of Pushkar. These suggestions are based on many, many peoples experiences. Listen to samples and see what you like. I'm sure you'll find the right music, either there or somewhere else. Fortunately New Age Music is no longer a specialty, but rather a common part of the modern world.
