Doesn't really need to be, all depends on how you practice. I avoid music, any thing repetitive, and just have on my white noise machine or a quiet place in the house. I'll do a 15 minute body scan which involves no repetition, or I can add some gentle yoga type stretching which I can repeat or not, depending on the session.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
