The ancient Greeks believed that music had the ability to heal both the body and the soul. Early man discovered the potential of meditation millennia ago when he stared into the flames of fire and fell into a tranquil state of mind. Meditative or relaxation music is a mix of two such forces capable of delivering people from both mental and physical distress.
