Warning - geek alert
If I want to clear my mind I start going through the prime numbers and get as high as I can before either:

(a) falling asleep, or
(b) realising that my mind's clear (and thus ready to tackle something else)

it's mainly to distract myself.
if I bored I start at one and go as high as I can before I'm interrupted.

It's a great way of clearing the mind too.
:)

I can *almost* see what people get as a consequence of prayer; for those who pray regularly (I've avoided the use of the word religiously there on purpose. Damn.) it's almost a meditation enabling them to get some of the detritus from their minds.

I love prayers.
And hymns.

One of my favourite things to do is go into a church and listen to the choirs and just forget everything but the songs.

choirs are great
but hymns not so much

proper choral singing, is incredible. I wandered into Wells Cathedral not all that long ago and a proper choir were practicing. The acoustics were amazing, as is the building. I sat and soaked it up for as long as I could.

Never heard them
But I'd imagine it to be angelic
