What you can do is a very simple meditation to beat stress and to relax, to balance and to centre yourself. While you're in that state of being you can also heal yourself, you just have to imagine that the parts of your body that you want to heal are healed, it's as simple as that.

There's no trick. The best thing to do is to just sit down somewhere quiet where there's no one to bother you, put on some nice music that doesn't have any wording to it, something very relaxing, and just get lost in your own thoughts. Stay focused on your breathing and do that as long as you can. Try and do it for fifteen minutes and then do it for 20 minutes after that if you can, every few days.

The best thing to do is to get a meditation tape or CD and listen to that. It sometimes can be a little bit difficult if you're doing it by yourself and you don't have any kind of guidance at all. A lot of book stores have meditation tapes and CDs. Get a simple one for beginners and that will set you on the right path.
