Best meditation advice I got was completely unexpected so I took it to heart. It was in a footnote in a book called "Ventriloquism For The Total Dummy".
1) Dark room. Dark.
2) Lie in bed or on the floor.
3) Breathe.
4) More slowly.
5) Nope, slower. Hold it in tension.
6) Concentrate on breathing. This is not a nap.

- skmurphy 18y agoThis is good advice. I learned Transcendental Meditation a while ago and found that it did relieve stress. I also found that when I was tired I would fall asleep instead of meditating since that's what my body needed. I try and do it when I first wake up in the morning for 20 minutes and again sometime before dinner. Sleep and exercise are also good at reducing stress, but I have definitely found that meditation helps me to relax and reframe my perceptions.
