Are you looking for free music for guided meditations? Do you want to release a monetized guided meditation but you don't have the budget to purchase a license for the background music? Read more to learn how to use four of our tracks completely for free.
Background
Soothing Relaxation is a company that exclusively releases music composed by the Norwegian composer Peder B. Helland. Our music is enjoyed millions of times every week by people around the world on our YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music pages.
Although our music was originally composed with the intention of being listened to by its own, we regularly receive licensing requests from people around the world to use our music in various projects.
That's why we decided to start an easy-to-use licensing portal with pre-made license agreements for several types of projects, including guided meditations.
We want our music to be used in as many creative projects around the world as possible. However, we know that everyone does not have the option to pay for a background music license for their guided meditations and projects.
Introducing free music for guided meditations
The obvious solution to this problem is to release several tracks that can be used for free in commercial projects. So that's what we did.
The style of these tracks are quite different so we recommend listening below to find the one you like the most. Or why not download all four of them and decide later? The choice is yours.
We'll quickly answer some frequently asked questions about our licenses towards the end of this article, but you can also find more information on the download pages.
Track #1 - Blue
The first of our tracks is called "Blue". This is a very soft and soothing ambient track that lasts for around 30 minutes. If you need it to be longer, it should be quite easy to loop it as well.
You can license this track for free here: Blue - License
Track #2 - I'll Stay
Do you prefer a background track featuring calm piano music instead? Well, maybe our track I'll Stay can fit your project. This track is shorter than "Blue", but if you want to be longer you can probably loop it without it being very noticeable.
You can license this track for free here: I'll Stay - License
Track #3 - Planet Earth
Planet Earth is a track from the album Flying by Peder B. Helland. This track is perfect if you want to create an ambient and meditative atmosphere.
While you listen, you will most likely notice the many details and sounds that we have included throughout the track (but especially in the beginning). If you don't like some of the sounds, you are welcome to trim the track to your liking.
You can license this track for free here: Planet Earth - License
Track #4 - Quiet Road
We wanted to include a free harp track in the selection as well because who doesn't like the sound of a beautiful harp? This track is called Quiet Road and it's taken from the album Purple Flowers by Peder B. Helland.
