Meditation: There are many meditation books & cd's you can get from libraries or purchase -- soundstrue.Com has a lot of them. Ones by jon kabat-zinn, sharon salzberg, and jack kornfield are especially helpful. You can take a class also: http://w3.Umassmed.Edu/mbsr/public/searchmember.Aspx you can find a hypnotherapist through american society of clinical hypnosis. It's good to have help w/this.

Abdominal breathing: Studies have shown that meditation can have positive effects on your autonomic nervous system, your immune system and your hormonal systems, thus rebalancing your overall metabolism. Proper abdominal breathing techniques are paramount in achieving the relaxation response. You do not need to be a master. Find someone who can teach you this and then practice it consistently.
