I Find Your Lack of Massage Music Disturbing


I'm one of those people who needs to constantly be changing my massage music.  It keeps me from going crazy.  Well... for the most part.

One of my favorite tools is Free Nature Sounds.  I can add rain and thunder, crashing ocean waves, bubbling brook or any other imaginable sound to my current massage music.

Mix & match, create your own relaxation mixes, save them as links, export them as files, or just stream them right from your computer.  Add one of these mixes to some old massage music and experience a whole new sound!

I have a laptop and internet at my studio, so it's easy to just stream it along with my massage music.  I use wireless speakers (similar to these) plugged in to my laptop, so I don't need to have my computer in the massage room with me.  (and they require no wiring to hook up).

While the rain and thunder are my favorite, there are also more adventurous choices like Darth Vader and fireworks.  While I'm not sure I'd like those added to massage music... I'm not here to judge. ;-)  So for those of you that like that kind of thing, I've made a mix just for you: Darth Vader Massage.
You're welcome.

Create your own awesome mix?  Share the link in the comments below so we can all have a listen.

      There are some specific songs that work nicely with certain mixes. I'll work on a list to post later of some of my favs.

    I do a lot of super chill electronic music, set pandora to 'ulrich schnauss' or 'bonobo' oh and for vocals set pandora to 'feist'. my work is more deep tissue sports so I like to keep my people awake rather than zoned out, but no dance music.

      I like to play music with a good beat for when I'm doing Ashiatsu... definitely not zone-out music but it just feels like it fits that work well. And as long as my clients like it - it's a win-win!

    What a great idea ~ Thanks for sharing! If you don't have a computer but have a smart phone they do have it available as an App for iphone or ipad. If you are a Droid user another option would be to use the app: Relax Melodies. It is an awesome, free app that comes w/ a mixer and several sounds. Enjoy!
