i wanted to hear something more melodious, more singing...I put on Rain blessings with Lama Gyurme. I have recited 324 times mantras (three mantras, 108 times each with mala and cd). It is very meditative due to the vibration for chanting.  But I run out of breath, being such a heavy smoker! Om mani peme hung
