I have an interesting meditation for you today that also effectively relieves stress. I based this meditation on a point made by Richard Albert, also known as Ram Dass, who wrote…
The quieter you become, the more you can hear.
Ram Dass’s insight works great as a stress reducer.
How so?

Take a long, slow deep breath, hold for a second, and then exhale slowly. Repeat several times until you feel your consciousness shift into the quiet moment.
Now listen. Become aware of the multitude of sounds in your life in this moment.
Focus on one sound and let it reverberate through you.
And for the final step, let go of that one sound and now listen only to the deep silence that is your true nature.
Ah, peace and bliss.
The sound of silence.
And where there’s silence, there is no stress.
