Should I listen to music when I meditate?

The idea that you should listen to music while meditating probably goes back to seeing meditation as little more than a means of relaxation.

There's a big but in the the idea in music meditation. If you’re trying to pay attention one-pointedly to your breathing, then you can’t also listen to music. 

Also, music produces pleasant feelings, which is why we listen to it. If those pleasant feelings are being supplied by “meditation music” then we won’t reach deeper into ourselves to find our own sources of happiness. 

We suggest that you try doing that, but I also suggest that you try doing it at a time when you’re not meditating.

I’d go further and suggest that listening to music, if done properly, can be a meditation in itself, just as walking or washing the dishes can be. 

You can take many activities and make them richer and more satisfying by taking more awareness into them. Music is just one example. 

If you’re going to listen to music as meditation then you have to take it seriously as a practice. Try not to do anything else at the same time. Make sure you’re in a comfortable position that supports alert attention. Sit or lie down comfortably, and just pay attention to the music. You’ll probably find that you enjoy it like never before.

Listen music is likely to be a distraction, or to artificially produce pleasant feelings, thus preventing us from finding those pleasant feelings from within. However it depends on the objective, using a portable Bluetooth speaker, music can be used to relax our feelings and pay close attention to the music can also be a form of meditation
