This is how you can calm, relax, and re-energize yourself through a way of meditating that we'll call Re-Energizing.

Okay, what were going to do here is re-energize. Usually when you meditate, you just sit there with your eyes closed, clear your mind, and try to feel good about paying someone to teach you this. The way I'm going to teach you to re-energize yourself is similar (yeah right, carbon copy) to standard meditating, except we'll provide outside influences and train our minds to associate re-energizing with pleasure.
How we going to do this?
When you stick your arm into a fire ant mound (don't have fire ants?, give me your address, I'm moving in), your body feels pain, and if your like most people, you'll associate fire ants with pain and suffering for the rest of your life.
On the positive side, the way you clicker train animals is by rewarding them and clicking the clicker. This way they learn that the sound of clicking is good. That is what we are going to try to do, clicker train our minds with music.
"Update" There have been many interesting comments posted explaining what's going on, I recommend that you read them.

I'll probably try this exercise, cuse it's simple and quick. but there's nothing more relaxing than nature.
I usually watch some nature vids, relaxwithnature.com, or listen to the nature sounds on cd and then use breath exercises. This is really rejuvenating, but it does take time.
this SUCKS DONKEY BALLS WTF is that supposed to mean?
I can't tell which is more hilarious, your claims of being a ninja, or your random use of words.
If you do it the long way as documented in the instructable, you train your mind to associate the feeling of being relaxed with the music, then, the next time you hear the music *Click* here comes the happy feeling. Instead of using the music as the trigger, why not get to the happy state and press your thumb and middle finger together on your right hand. If you get it right, you'll use that as your trigger.
A lot more portable, i think ;)
