Hi,
To quieten or still the mind, either of these technique are effective: a. Visualise a jumping monkey, give him bananas and be amazed at how calm he could be.
b. Take-in a deep breath, with the out-going one, say I’m CALM… calm.., calm… bingo !

may the Blessings be !

Chris, great tip! I tried it today as frustration was rising at work and it completely dissipated. I’m adding that one to the list for meditation.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your ideas,
Nneka

Your three suggestions have worked for me. Another technique that I use is to take deep breaths and at the same time focus on how my body feels. This is particularly helpful if I ‘m feeling some distracting emotion like being irritated, annoyed, hurt, or otherwise upset. I try to take my mind off the event that triggered the emotion and instead focus on how my body is reacting. With that kind of attention, the energy starts to dissipate by itself and I’m calmly progress towards meditation.

This technique is useful at any time that I want to calm myself.
