Music for guided meditation, made to sit under your voice.
The best music for guided meditation stays out of the way. It has no tune to follow, it holds a steady volume, and it leaves room for your voice. Every track here is made that way, and one purchase covers your whole practice.
Start here
Sound beds and ambient toolkits.
Sound beds are one 60-minute piece each, and the easiest first buy. Ambient toolkits give you a few session lengths of the same piece, so you can match the music to the length of your meditation.

What to listen for
What makes good meditation background music?
Good background music for guided meditation does one job. It helps people settle while you lead. If they notice the music, it's doing too much.
Here's what I listen for when I write it, and what you can listen for in any track.
- No melody to follow. A tune pulls attention away from your words.
- A steady volume. No big swells that drown you out, and no drops that leave a gap.
- Room for your voice. The middle of the sound is kept clear, so you can speak softly and still be heard.
- Long enough. A track that loops or ends halfway through can pull someone out of a deep state.
- The right licence. Music from a streaming app is for personal listening. It doesn't cover paid sessions or recordings.
I go through each of these in my guide on how to choose music for a guided meditation.
How practitioners use it
In the room, and on record.
01
Live classes and groups
Press play at the start and talk over it. The music holds the room for the whole session, in person or on Zoom.
02
Recorded meditations
Record your voice over a sound bed, then publish it on your website, YouTube or a meditation app.
03
Courses and apps
Use the same music across a course, a membership or your own app, so your recordings sound like one set.
The licence
One purchase covers your whole practice.
Live sessions, client recordings, courses and apps are all covered, for good. Nothing is registered with a PRO, so there's no second licence to pay. The music isn't for all-day background play in a venue, and it can never be used to train AI.
Questions
Common questions
What kind of music is best for guided meditation?
Slow, steady music with no clear melody works best. Soft pads and drones are a good fit. They help people settle without giving the mind something to follow.
How loud should the music be under my voice?
Quieter than most people expect. Your voice should be clear on a phone speaker, with the music just there underneath. Check your mix on headphones and on a phone before you publish.
How long should the music be?
At least as long as the meditation, with a few minutes to spare. That way it never loops or stops early. A 60-minute sound bed covers almost any session.
Can I use this music on YouTube or Insight Timer?
Yes. The licence covers recordings you publish, including on YouTube, meditation apps and course platforms. The music isn't registered with Content ID, so it shouldn't trigger claims.
Do I need headphones?
Not for the sound beds. They work on room speakers and on phones. Some toolkits have binaural layers, which work best on headphones, and each product page says so.
