It can be a stressful task to create the perfect playlist. Music can enhance any event or moment and things are also much more fluent while music is playing. The question is, which vibe are you going for? 

We all need that alone time to space out and let our thoughts flow. Here is the perfect playlist for meditation and tuning into your higher self:

Songs with a prominent message are usually hard to come across, but they stick around forever. These songs provide insight and answers to questions we as humans all have. A lot of times the message relates to overcoming life struggles, battles within, and bettering the life we live. When you need to hear positive words, here is the perfect playlist:
