I do a kind of meditation whilst listening beautiful music too,
although almost exclusively at concerts.  It's not the same
listening on a stereo for some reason, no matter how good.  I
think the collective emotions of the audience and orchestra
amplify the experience.

Also, I practiced grokking on some ancient Indian Buddhist art
today at an exhibition, letting the image and feeling of the
sculture impress itself on the mind...
