What calms your mind and soul?

What are some things out there in this world that help calm you and perhaps brings you close to what ' Inner Peace ' is. For me I have a close soul connection with the stars, I feel absolutely in inner peace when I star gaze.

Nothing calms my mind. It's always jamming ideas, ramblings or unwanted sick notions into my consciousness. Therefore, I suppose sleep would be the best answer. Although I find some classic rock like: The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, etc. to be very relaxing.

Walking. ...And Xanax.

There's a few things: 1. Regular trips to the shooting range, alone. Few things bring me peace, relieve stress, and calm me down like renting a favorite and putting many rounds downrange. Plus, it also helps me focus and getting better at my marksmanship. 2. Anime This is pretty self-explanatory. Anime always makes me feel better no matter how bad of a day I'm feeling. 3. Watching the Yogscast on YouTube Much like anime, the Yogscast have a special kind of charm that just resonates with me as a nerd and gamer. I could be having the worst day in the world, but I watch one Yogscast video and instantly I feel better about everything. They're just hilarious. 4. Music Listening and performing both are helpful to me. Being a multi-instrumentalist and producer has pulled me out of the dumps many times in my lifetime. So that's that.

Anime is my regular fix now. Cuddling with someone I love is the most calming thing in the universe. Casual walks on warm summer nights are good too.

I listen to loud metal, and stab my work table with my k-bar till I feel the satisfaction of a Jason Voorhees on friday the 13th.. No way to sugar coat it, Its a scary way to calm down if your on the outside looking in. but hey at least its just a table

Listening to music, listening to ocean noises, crystals, and massage therapy. My mind races at a rather constant rate but especially in the evening.
