I've found a really nice app for my iPhone! It's helping me relax while listening to some very nice sounds and melodies which I mixed myself. Have a look at it here:

All things
in the universe move
from the subtle to the manifest
and back again. Whether the form
is that of a star or a person,
the process is
the same.
First, the subtle energy exists. Next,
it becomes manifest and takes on life.
After a time, the life passes away,
but the subtle energy goes on,
either returning to the subtle realm,
where it remains, or once again
attaching to manifest things.
The character
of your existence
is determined by the energies
to which you connect yourself. If
you attach yourself to gross energies—
loving this person, hating that clan,
rejecting one experience or
habitually indulging in another—
then you will lead a series of
heavy, attached lives.
This can go on for
a very long and
tedious time.
The way of
the integral being
is to join with higher things.
By holding to that which is refined
and subtle, she traverses refined and
subtle realms. If she enters the
world, she does so lightly,
without attachment.
In this way she can
go anywhere without ever
leaving the center of
the universe.

Hexagram 44: KOU
Darkness reappears unexpectedly.
Caution and reticence are in order.
It is a dangerous hour. Through an eruption of our inferior nature darkness has interrupted the flow of light. The inferior can be quite seductive, and if we are not resolute in resisting it, the moment can be lost to misfortune.
In one's self, this is a time to examine motives; those which are of questionable honor should be uprooted and discarded. Be wary of situations that engage your ego and tempt you into anger, self-righteousness, or desire. Actively employ your higher nature to test the correctness of tempting ideas and circumstances; that which seems to be suspicious almost certainly is.
In your conduct with others, practice modesty, independence, and patience with great discipline. Avoid anger or arrogance at all costs; withdraw whenever you cannot meet another in a balanced and independent way. Neither encourage another to forego his balance nor indulge him if he does so. Again, withdraw into stillness if the circumstances indicate the presence of inferior influences. Reticence and self-scrutiny are the order of the day.
