Be Kind to Yourself | Relaxing Sitar Music for Inner Peace · Raga Yaman · Healing Ragas

When the day has been heavy and your heart feels tight, put this on and let the slow sitar open some space. This Raga Yaman sitar meditation is a 24-minute sadhana for the evening hour: long sustained sitar notes with gentle meend slides, over a warm tanpura drone. Play it for quiet reflection, for kindness toward yourself, or as the last practice before you wind down. Raga Yaman is a classic evening raga of Hindustani music, traditionally sung at the start of the night. It is known for its gentle, devotional and open feeling, and its raised fourth note (tivra Ma) gives it a soft, glowing brightness. This version is a slow, spacious meditation, with no beat and no sudden changes. 🪷 ABOUT THIS RAGA Raga: Yaman Time: Evening, the first part of the night Thaat: Kalyan Vadi–Samvadi: Ga – Ni Mood: Serene, devotional, gentle Instruments: Sitar with tanpura drone Best for: Evening meditation, quiet reflection, compassion practice 🎧 HOW TO USE • Sit comfortably, or lie down, and keep the volume low and steady. • Breathe slowly and let each long sitar note be your point of attention. • Use it as a daily evening sadhana, or play it quietly while you reflect or journal. • Best with headphones or in a quiet room.
