This is a very famous Tibetan monks chant but it is very effective.
Best done alone or in your head otherwsie you may feel a bit silly (at first) but it is very calming.
Also try to downlaod the ultimate guided emditation MP3 as it is very effective.
Failing that download nature soiunds (preferably long ones) that you find relaxing ie rainfall, babbling brooks, ocean waves, anything it is so amazingly helpful xxx

This chant means 'The jewel in the lotus of the heart.'
It really does work to calm you down.
try chanting it while listening to rain/brook/river/ocean sounds. It is so relaxing, you wouldn't believe xxx

There are many really good meditation CDs out there. Not to discredit the chanting. It works and, unlike the CDs, it's free. I've found them very helpful especially now that I'm off meds.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
