The key is silence

[Diana]

There's nothing wrong with music, as Valtor said, if it helps you to shut off the internal dialogue. Note that when you do shut it off, you may not be aware of the music anymore.

I do think that any meditation helps. Even if a person doesn't achieve inner silence, they can at least become calm, centered, and reaffirm their intention to become silent. It is a break from modern-day life and all the busyness and "stuff."
