Still Water is Yixiu's name for “20 Minute Meditation 1,” published by HoliznaCC0 under CC0 1.0.
Music is optional
Use the lowest comfortable volume. If melody stays at the center of attention, choose a nature sound or silence instead.
One simple boundary
A quiet 20-minute session in three steps
No special technique is required. Let the track define the time while your attention rests on the breath, the body, a page or one task.
- 01
Choose the purpose before playing
Name one thing: sit, read, rest or work. A single purpose is easier to return to than a vague promise to be productive or calm.
- 02
Set the lowest useful volume
Let the music soften the room without covering alarms, conversation or anything important around you.
- 03
Stop adjusting until the track ends
When attention moves, return to the breath, body, page or task. The music marks the boundary; it does not need to become the focus.

20-minute meditation music: common questions
Is 20 minutes enough for meditation?
There is no required session length. Twenty minutes can be a practical boundary, while a shorter pause is also valid. Choose a duration you can use without watching the clock.
Can I use this meditation music for sleep?
Yes, if gentle instrumental music can stay in the background for you. Start at a low volume. If melody keeps drawing your attention, try a steadier nature sound or silence instead.
