Part of our series of articles on how to create a guided meditation

The music that you choose will become an important part of your guided meditation. It will add an enormous amount of atmosphere and depth to the overall experience for anyone who listens to it.

But where is this guided meditation music going to come from?

Unless you are a music composer yourself, you will need to either:

a. Select some royalty free music, or
b. Have original music composed and produced for you.

Read on as I explain the pros and cons of these two options.

Quick reminder: As I mentioned in this article about recording your voiceover, whenever possible you should select background music for your guided meditation BEFORE you visit a recording studio. This will save you time and money when the time comes to record your guided meditation.

Royalty free music is a popular choice for guided meditation productions.

What is Royalty Free Music? “Royalty free” means that when you purchase the music you need for your production, you pay a one-off fee only. You can then use that royalty free music to create and sell as many guided meditation CD’s or MP3’s as you like, without ever having to worry about paying any ongoing royalties.

The company or person that you bought the royalty free music from retains the copyright to the music (but not to your guided meditation - that's all yours) and can sell the same background music to another person.

Where to find Royalty Free Music
There is plenty of royalty free ambient music and royalty free new age music on the internet these days, but quite often the music is only available as short tracks (anything from 90 seconds to loops of around 5 minutes or so). As you and I both know, when it comes to guided meditations and hypnosis productions, a longer piece of music is usually required.

Fortunately, The Guided Meditation Site offers full length royalty free background music for meditation and relaxation. You'll find tracks in lengths of around 15 minutes, 30 minute and 60 minutes.

As a long time meditator and ambient music composer, I take great pride in the music I create for guided meditations. It’s something I am very passionate about, because I know that my music becomes a part of a healing experience that may touch many lives. I've helped many meditation teachers, healers, hypnotherapists and spiritual guidance counsellors over the years.

The Guided Meditation Site specializes in... you guessed it... guided meditations! You’ll love my royalty free music because it was created specifically for guided meditations, hypnosis and guided relaxations.

Free Royalty Free Music
By the way, at The Guided Meditation Site you can also download some of my royalty free music for free. There are a number of free tracks available that you can use for any purpose you like without ever paying a cent. It’s just part of the overall service I enjoy providing to healers, teachers and guides just like you.

Yes really, they are completely free!

Perhaps you want to have sole ownership of the music that is used in your guided meditation.

If so, then original music composition is for you.

Original music composition costs quite a bit more than royalty free music, but for many people the feeling of exclusivity and uniqueness that comes from having music composed just for you is very hard to beat.

It can also make your guided meditation come across as being more authentic and attractive to potential customers if you are able to print the words, “With original music composed by...” on your CD.

It’s an exciting and rewarding experience to work with a composer, and to hear your own guided meditation music come to life.

As an ambient music composer, I specialize in composing music for guided meditations. So whether you are looking for deep meditation music, nature meditation music, general ambient music, spiritual meditation music, hypnosis music or healing music of any kind, it would be my pleasure to compose the music that you need.
