This is one of my favorites:
First time I ever heard this song was when you posted it here years and years ago, and it's still one of my favorites:Yep, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed II, and Shadow of the Colossus all contain music that I use for meditation.
If a closed mind was a requirement for enlightenment this place would be the internet equivalent of the Shaolin temple.I wish I could meditate,a friend of mine is a yoga teacher,she’s been trying to teach me how but not much luck yet,Zen who used to post on here said “close the mind” but can’t seem to do that,I’ll keep trying though.

@England my lionheart I find it's a lot easier to still my emotions then it is to still my mind, and once I do my mind settles down with them.
Emotions are the wind that keeps the pinwheel of my mind spinning.
