Music is a meditative experience for many people, expecially musicians who spend hours practicing in a solitary state of absorption. Music also has positive benefits for people indulging in mindfulness meditation, which is used in schools, prisons and sports, with the Dalai Llama being one of its enthusiastic proponets. ‘Music For Mindfulness’ is about the use of music to calm the mind, body and soul to create feelings of wellbeing and serenity, while you stop, think and feel in the moment.

Flux BPM Online verdict: Kenneth Bager compilations are oozing quality and bring together under the same roof awesome artists and producers who deliver beautifully crafted music to calm your senses and travel you to your favourite holiday destination. If Jose Padilla is a legend with his own music style, Kenneth Bager despite the fact that originates from a colder Northern European country his able to translate Ibiza atmosphere through his choices on this superb compilation that can help you to achieve that very important state of mind "mindfullness". I love the nice warm sound textures, the sonic landscapes and the majestic stories that the wonderful tracks radiate to the listener and can even change his point of view in life for ever. Highly recommended. 10/10
