Summary/Abstract: In the context of contemporary society marked by emotional fatigue and psychological tension, meditative music emerges as a powerful tool for psycho-emotional recovery. This article explores the therapeutic potential of meditative music, examining its structural elements – tempo, dynamics, harmony, rhythm, and timbre – and their influence on the listener’s mental state. Drawing on philosophical, cultural, and psychological perspectives, the study highlights how meditative music fosters inner balance, spiritual renewal, and self-awareness. The role of the performer, the impact of digital technologies, and the integration of music therapy practices are also discussed. Particular attention is given to the non-verbal communicative power of music and its ability to evoke deep emotional responses and facilitate holistic healing. The article concludes that meditative music, rooted in both ritual and innovation, serves as a meaningful resource for addressing the challenges of modern life and enhancing well-being through artistic and therapeutic engagement.
