Hi Humble Janitor, Just a quick reply to your comment about not getting into the habit of meditating regularly. I sometimes have the same problem. I found this great site that has 10 or 12 minute dowloadable meditations for free. They're great for doing right before going to bed or in the morning. They are from a wonderful lady called Solara
