A musical practice for mindfulness

These days, I spend a lot of time commuting. The traffic is bothersome. I avoid milder versions of road rage. At the same time, my life is busy for various reasons. I want to keep a cool head and a warm heart! One thing I’ve found to help myself, which I think could help others, is listening to ambient music. My radio station subscription has a channel or two. I can use the channel on an app at home, at work or anywhere. The music gives me a feeling of calm amid a busy day. It helps me relax and think. It also can aid in self-reflection and daydreaming.
