I am having a hard time quieting the mind, is there something that would help?
Yes, Watching the Breath Meditations are helpful, as well as doing some Qi Gong, and Toning the Chakras. These mediation techniques help to connect you into the deeper part of yourself more, and away from your thinking part of you. Although with each meditation it is important to connect into your energy body at the same time, this will help to center you.
