i know a buddhist gal who chants once or twice a day to help center. she spends about 15 minutes at each session, sitting in a quiet place, upright in a comfortable chair. she then chants (phonetically) "nam m'yoho ren gay 'kyo" over and over. i have a link somewhere if anyone's interested in it. she says that chanting has removed her own need for antidepressant medication. i've read a couple of books on buddhism/meditation practices..pema chodron for one, which nostatic has already recommended.
