Re: My first week!

David Spector has clarified this one. I just want to add, though, that - from my own personal experience - a neutral background "sound" (not music, but something like white sound, such as the brrrrrr of an electric fan, that is constant and neutral, and just there to soften outside sharp noises) can sometimes be useful if one is very sensitive to sudden noises. But sounds that change frequencies or that are intended to affect brainwaves are not useful to this kind of meditation.
