   A wonderful book is called "A Path with Heart" by Jack Kornfield. It’s great for beginners – not too "out there", very practical and nice. He also has stuff on audio, if you don’t want to sit and read a book about it.

   Try http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody/a/Meditation.htm or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate or Yoga Nidra, (no flexibility required) at http://your-mental-health.weebly.com/l.html along with other variants.RELAXATION METHODS: Because medication and counselling take time to be effective, practise daily for 15 to 20 minutes, and when needed, the method at http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/THE VISUAL TECHNIQUE: Sit comfortably in a quiet room, at a comfortable temperature, with fingertips facing upwards. Ensure clothing and footwear are non restrictive. Gaze at a burning candle in a quiet, darkened room for 20 minutes (you can use a crystal, egg, mandala, religious symbol, or anything else of a similar nature you may prefer). See http://www.mandalaproject.org/ :- 23 pages of mandalas, including Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Yin/Yang, The Eye of Horus, modern and traditional motifs. Any stray thoughts entering your mind should be noted, and attention gently refocused on the gazing process.ALTERNATIVE VERSION OF MINDFULNESS BREATHING: Sit, or lie down comfortably in a quiet, darkened room, but not in pitch darkness. Clothing and footwear should not be restrictive, and it should be at a comfortable temperature. Your fingertips should be facing upwards. Focus your attention at the place where your breath enters and leaves your body, preferably breathing regularly, through your nose. Any stray thoughts coming into your mind should be noted, then gently refocus your attention on your breathing. This should be done for at least 15 minutes, but 20 is best. Another method is to practise the technique at http://www.selfhelpmagazine.com/ Go to their Meditation room, select: "try it out", and: "mantra meditation". You can repeat any word or short phrase desired, like: "I can do it", "easy", "I improve daily", "peace", or, for the traditionalists: Om mani padme hung sarva shanting kuruye soha. (“O Buddha of compassion and wisdom, may all these sicknesses be pacified.”). Any stray thoughts should be noted, and attention gently refocused on the process. All of these methods should be practised at least once, for 15 to 20 minutes, daily, and when needed, but maximum results come from using 3 times daily, some hours apart.

   Even if employed just once a day, there should be a noticeable improvement within several weeks.
