There are basically three types of meditation, samadhi(concentration), vipassana (insight) and mithree (loving-kindness). If you want a balanced meditation session, all three have to be incorporated into your meditation sessions.
My advice is to start with concentration and loving-kindness meditations as vipassana can't be done without a proper guide (trust me on this, I've gone on many tangents that lead nowhere, though each time I mess up I suppose there is some experience gained...but then again why waste the time right?).
Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you've got any questions since I don't really check this very often
If I know it I'll definitely help you with it. Problem with meditation though is that it's such a vast area, I'm still searching for a good teacher myself.
How difficult is it for you to concentrate with noise?

You know what? I've actually been considering it. My life is all out of whack and I want to do something natural to get my balance back.
