Have ideas for Catholic or Christian meditation on CD?

[Carolyn R]

I would love to have some relaxing Catholic/Christian guided meditation set to music I could listen to...it seems like so much of the available meditation CD's are too "new-agey" for my taste! Any sources or ideas?

Does your diocese have a Catholic "gift shop" or something like that? I'm no longer Christian, but growing up there were two or three little shops in our town that were specifically aimed at the Christian market (on Catholic gift shop associated with the large Catholic church in town, and two shops focused mostly on "non denom" Christian books and merchandise).

If not, your priest may have ideas, or you might check the advert section of Christian publications provided at your Church? Online publications (like this article) also provide reviews and ideas.

There are also websites like this and this that provide catalogs of Christian and/or Catholic audio products. And I know my dad always enjoyed listening to cds that were not specifically "guided meditation" but were instrumental/vocal pieces from the medieval church while my mom enjoyed listening to the rosary and to the music of Hildegard of Bingen.

Thanks so much, you gave me some great places to start looking. Anyone else have ideas?

When I indentified as a Catholic, I was on a beautiful retreat where the chaplain (he was our high school chaplain and choir director) played for us and had us singing gregorian chants.

If you search it online, there will be a ton of results with examples so you can see if it is for you.

Happy meditating!
