don't use music. or at least drop it after a while.

meditation is a skill that has to be learned during thousands of hours. if you learn it with music it's like learning how to ride a bike with protective wheels or learning how to calculate with a calculator. in the end you will be able to drive one kilometre on a bike with protective wheels and you will be able to tell me what is 5*5 but I'd say that you still can't ride and can't calculate.

it is the whole point that your mind goes crazy when you meditate. you will feel frustration, your heart beat will rise, your face will turn hot, you feel like screaming or bursting into tears...

and then you give in and just observe these feelings without judging them. they are actually quite interesting to observe. and then you will get bored of them and finally get a few seconds of uninterrupted no-thought at a time.

just be patient.
