Today is National Book Lovers Day and seeing how it is that and we haven't had a moment of zen in some time, let's combine the two...

Choose one of the pics below to focus on and imagine yourself there... imagine the smell of the books, the feel of the pages, the quiet of the space, etc... Close your eyes, visualize being there, and then practice some deep breathing (slowly inhaling through your nose until your lungs are full, hold it for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth... if it helps, you can imagine the air you're inhaling as a bright light going into your lungs and clearing away the dark mucky negativity and replacing all that with a calm joy... repeat as many times as you need to feel relaxed and peaceful - or, if you're picturing inhaling a bright light clearing away the negativity, repeat as many times as you need to clear away the dark thoughts and replace them with a more serene, positive feeling)... Namaste.
