Soul Stillness: An R&B Meditation Journey for the Spirit

There are moments when the world is just too loud.

When the buzz of notifications, deadlines, chronic pain, and soul-tiredness swirl together into a fog you can’t quite shake. I know that space too well. And I also know the medicine that music can be, especially when it’s wrapped in the lush, slow-blooming beauty of R&B.

Welcome to Soul Stillness, my hand-curated R&B meditation playlist designed to soften the edges of your day and bring you back to yourself.

Why R&B for Meditation?

Most folks think meditation music needs to sound like waterfalls and wind chimes, and hey, those have their place. But for Black women healing, I’ve found that soulful voices, sacred grooves, and intentional lyrics hit differently. These are the hymns of our healing. The lullabies of our lineage. The ballads of our breath.

R&B grounds us in rhythm. It reminds us to breathe with intention, feel with permission, and rest without guilt.

The Soul Stillness Experience

This playlist isn’t just for background noise during yoga. It’s a ritual. A sonic bath. A 15-track meditation that walks you through:

✨ Slowing down time with Snoh Aalegra
✨ Releasing your masks with Jhené Aiko
✨ Remembering your light with India.Arie
✨ Embracing your softness with Sade
✨ Feeling your ancestors’ presence with D’Angelo
✨ Reclaiming sensual peace with Alex Isley & Masego
✨ Ascending to your next level with Maxwell
✨ Speaking your truth with PJ Morton
✨ Calling in your destiny with Goapele
✨ Honoring your shadow with SiR
✨ Inviting gratitude and imagination with Solange & Frank Ocean
✨ Resting in your wholeness with Jill Scott

Every single song was chosen for its vibration. Not just sound, but frequency, the kind that nudges your spirit back to center.

Suggested Ritual: The Soul Balm Session

Pair the playlist with:

A warm bath or cup of tea

Journaling with the prompts from the guided meditation PDF

Gentle breathwork (inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6)

Whispering affirmations aloud, like “I am enough” or “My joy is not optional”

You can even use the Love, Bina cover art as a screensaver or altar piece, reminding you that healing doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes, it sounds like music.

Ready to Go Deeper?

I created a fully guided meditation script that aligns with each track, a spiritual companion to this playlist. You can download it as a PDF and use it as a bedtime ritual, journaling tool, or just a mid-day emotional reset.

💚 Final Words from My Heart

This playlist is more than sound. It’s a soft place to land.
A reminder that peace is not a luxury—it’s a birthright.
That your emotions are sacred. That your stillness is holy.

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb. Let these melodies hold you.

And if you love it, share it with a sister who needs a gentle pause, too.
Because we don’t just heal alone—we heal in harmony.

With rhythm, rest, and reverence—
Love, Bina
