Do you listen to music while you meditate?

Asked by serenityNOW (3641points) March 14th, 2013

I wasn’t sure if I should add this to this thread or start a new one, but I’m wondering if any Jellies listen to music while meditating? Is this a no-no, or are there some types of meditation where it’s encouraged, or perhaps discouraged? I’m not thinking rock-and-roll; more like Brian Eno, or something from Aphex Twin’s ambient records.

I’m a way below a novice on this stuff. Its just everyone is encouraging me to meditate, but I really can’t just sit and breathe; at least not for more than 5 minutes! Some nice, soothing music in the background might help.
