A meditation playlist to cultivate calm and focus.

In 2021, Ajani Charles launched a series of meditation playlists via Spotify to provide his audience with easily-accessible audio for mindfulness meditations.

He developed the series of playlists to demonstrate to new meditators that meditation is as simple as sitting down (or standing up) and putting on a playlist while focusing on one’s breath or an inanimate object for a minute or longer.

Ajani oversees the production, art direction, photography, and design for the artwork associated with each playlist and curates the audio featured within each playlist.

The playlists feature a variety of binaural beats and are designed for specific purposes, like focus and relaxation.

Binaural beats are auditory illusions created when two different pure-tone sound waves, with frequencies lower than 1500 Hz, are presented to a listener, ideally through headphones.

According to Healthline and other sources, binaural beats in the alpha frequencies (8 to 13 Hz) encourage relaxation, promote positivity, and decrease anxiety.

Binaural beats in the lower beta frequencies (14 to 30 Hz) have been linked to increased concentration and alertness, problem-solving, and improved memory.
