Why we meditate, and practices to help.
-
Put on classical music, studies show classical music has a good vibration on the mind that makes you have a feeling of calmness and in a state of peace.
Don't just do the crossed legs and hand turtles. Try many different forms and find the one you find the most relaxing.
thanks for reading comment if it helped or didn't!

There are many different forms with many different purposes. I seldom use meditation to relax.

This can include movement-based meditations, visualization-based meditations, or even just plain old sitting meditation.
I do have to take issue with one thing in your post. Classical music CAN induce a sense of calm... but, many pieces of classical music will not help you there. haha. Perhaps one might play Mars from the Planets as a meditation on getting energized for battle... but, I wouldn't play it to relax my mind. Finding the right piece for the right mood is important.
