I've been doing TM off and on for over 20 years. I tried a CD series of brain wave music (thetha, alpha, delta, beta, I think) but couldn't get into them. I think the TM manual would recommend no music though.
Currently I'm listening to a bunch of CD's by Thomas Ashley-Farrand on mantras. Having seen the TM movement up close I'm having my doubts and exploring other techniques. Centering prayer is another avenue. Sometimes I'll use a bit of scripture as a mantra.
I'm still not sure about the Farrand CD's since he emphasizes the practical aspects or "power" of mantras to bring abundance and healing.
If we are seeking something, we aren't meditating correctly. The goal is to cease striving and forget there's a goal.
