<p>I have accumulated lots of massage music over the years and created a massage music playlist on my ipod...I shuffle through about 450 massage songs so I never get tired of anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the sake of picking 3 favorites even though I have so many favorites...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Ultimate Piano Massage (off itunes) - album: Pure Massage Music / various artists....blissful, beautiful, lazy piano and I love it....it's usually what I pick for receiving massages.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>2. Piano Dreamers - Danny Wright ...same reasons as #1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. Shamanic Dream - Anugama...very dreamy choice for a non - piano favorite.</p>

<p>I like a wide variety of music. Here's a small sample of some really good massage music, imo. It can all be found on Amazon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like Lisa Lynne's "Hopes And Dreams" as well as her album "Maidens Prayer" they are both on New Earth Records. Her music is soothing and melodic, and I find it far from boring.</p>
<p>I also like R. Carlos Nakai. He has a huge body of work out there but "Canyon Trilogy", "Fourth World", and "Mythic Dreamer". They all feature the relaxing, resonant…</p>

<p>I also like R. Carlos Nakai. He has a huge body of work out there but "Canyon Trilogy", "Fourth World", and "Mythic Dreamer". They all feature the relaxing, resonant sounds of native american flute but without any distracting (in a massage session) drums and chanting.</p>
<p>Another fave is Paul Lloyd Warner's "Rainbows are Waterproof". He has simple (but not simplistic) melodies that make it a joy to do massage to his music.</p>
<p>I'm also a huge Stephen Halpern fan - While I couldn't listen to the same CD twice in a row, I find them incredibly wonderful additions to my massage music mix and my uber stressed out clients love it. "Relaxation Suite", Inner Peace", "Music for Massage", "Ocean Suite", & "Comfort Zone" are the ones I like best (some of his CD don't feature any kind of melody like the crystal bowl and angel CDs, so listen to samples before you buy).</p>
<p>Also love Laurel Emryss's "Welcome to EarthHaven" - soothing, melodic, transporting.</p> I agree Jill, have done that…tag:massageprofessionals.com,2011-08-26:2887274:Comment:2153662011-08-26T22:45:37.857ZSharon Jouberthttps://massageprofessionals.com/profile/SharonJoubert

<p>Just fell in love with the Pandora App. I used is so much in private work that I finally purchased it. Only $36 for a year and no annoying ads. Look up Ambiant music, Anugama,and Deuter Radio. </p>

I have had a few clients in the past love listening to Norah Jones while receiving a massage I love listening to it but I refuse to play it with my male clients just because the words are so sensual, I'm finding it really hard as well to find some good relaxing music that isn't overly classical or too repeating (like the muzak that my massage envy has been playing lately). thanks for a good forum starter. :D

<p>3. very peaceful eastern influence, i'm no good at picking out the instruments, but whatever this album has going on, is super soothing to me. It's probably my favorite album of the ones that I use. I picked it up on New Earth records, which I've found to be a pretty good resource for finding quality massage tunes.</p>

<p>I have done that as well. One time to Credence Clearwater. I find that jarring music makes it more difficult for me to be present with the client. I can only imagine what the gun shots of a Law and Order SVU might do to me working on someone.</p>
