No.
If what you’re after is relaxation—a perfectly valid goal—then by all means find some nice relaxing music, kick back and enjoy. But that’s not meditation.
We’re always trying to busy the mind in one way or another. We become accustomed to a mental landscape full of activity: daydreaming, planning, remembering, random mental chatter. The attention becomes divided between the actual experience of the moment and all of that mental noise, so that you’re no longer right there fully engaged in the experience of living, but half in, half out. It’s like a guy who’s texting while driving.
Sometimes, we substitute the mental noise of someone else for our own. I know someone whose mother can’t be without the sound of a TV on at all times; she can’t even sleep without having it droning away. Other people are constantly plugged into their music. This is just a more passive way of keeping the mind busy; you’re letting someone else supply the mental noise.
In meditating, you’re learning to wean yourself from the compulsive need for all that mental noise, so that your full attentive resources are free to engage your life right where it’s happening. You learn to just let the moment speak for itself. Random environmental sounds are rarely a problem in meditation. You don’t need absolute quiet. But music and speech are different. They carry the imprint of someone else’s mental activity. Outside of meditation, that can be wonderful, but when meditating, it prevents full absorption in the raw experience of the moment.
