it's amazing how much a little background ambient music can calm your mind, deepen your meditation and/or get you in the yoga zone, helping to tune out of everything around you and tune into you. sure, fancy speakers and a large music collection can help you create this mood, but you can create this same mood on a budget. enter, the buddha machine, the mini magical device that plays nonstop music with decent output for being such a little guy.
