What music is on your iPod? 

Does relaxing music (such as classical or lullabyes) help calm your OCD?  If yes, what kind of music do you find most calming?

I find that New Age music (like that played when you receive a massage for example) to be the most relaxing.  I like classical music very much (especially Bach) but it doesn't relax me like the dreamy, calming New Age stuff.

Since I don't know many composers of the kind of New Age music that I like, I rely on a friend who's a massage therapist to recommend ones she uses during her work.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that music, but you're right, it's very relaxing.  I love getting a massage, too!

Three years ago, DH gave me an iPod for Christmas (I and I gave him one to, not knowing what his gift was going to be! LOL). That Pod has yet to be remove from teh box. If there is any music on it, it came that way...

I don't like iPods. The earbuds hurt my years... and the only time I listen to music is when I am driving and there is classical mussic on NPR!

In these economically challenged times, do you think we need a Repair Manifesto?

I love a massage, too.....if only I had the money, I'd get one every week!
