I got some audio CDs as part of the course, but I generally prefer doing it without them. Although the good thing about them is that they are timed so if you do one, you know you've really meditated for 30 minutes - or however long the CD is - and don't need to worry about the time while you're doing it (which I sometimes do)!!
Do you think you'll use a CD? At any rate, I'm really looking forward to doing this with you too! Yay! I have a meditation buddy!!!
