AI Prompt Guide — Music for Healing

Dozens of ready‑to‑use prompts for generative models and studios, organized by five categories. These are tuned for calm, grounding, breath‑centered relaxation, gentle movement tracks for pain modulation, cognitive activation for ADHD, and sensory-safe music for ASD.
