My question is, are there any ways to calm my mind? For those of you that are students here, what do you do to help yourself remain calm?
Thank you all,

First i think it needs some clarification as to what your goals / purposes are for your meditative practice. The other posts in this thread are useful, but we can be more useful if we know a few things about your practice.
So i have a few questions for you, and then i might be able to say something useful.
1. Why are you meditating?
2. What are you meditating on / about?
3. What do you think 'meditation' is? / What exactly are you doing when you meditate?
If you found out that you were god, dreaming a life for yourself, and that you were identical with the external world, you would ask yourself: "So, what would I have happen to me in my life? what would be my perfect drama?":cool1:
You died, and death was complete freedom from suffering - bliss. But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever.
