Meditation, general term for a multitude of religious practices, often quite different in methods, but all having the same goal: to bring the consciousness of the practitioner to a state in which he can come to an experience of "awakening," "liberation", "enlightenment."  Esoteric schools of various religions, i.e., schools practically concerned with individuals' own religious experience, have developed different "ways" leading to this experience, which are suited to their respective historical and geographical circumstances as well as to the psychological dispositions and personality types of different individuals or groups.

 Tibetan Meditation Music - Nawang Khechog - CD - A lot of artists evoke the spirit of Tibet, but Nawang Khechog is actually a former Tibetan monk, who took off the robes and took up the flute to travel the world 20 years ago. His albums are usually slotted in the New Age and meditation genres, and certainly his packaging and imagery inspire that.
