I thought I'd elaborate on my above post, I realise I'd been focusing on meditation be the reason for the calming of my mind, I had a realisation that I'd made a bit more effort to live by the precepts and ethics over the past week or so and as I said above it has begun to make me realise how the aspects of the eight fold path reinforce each other. I'd read this in books but to paraphrase what Buddha said - don't believe it until your experience directly demonstrates it to you.
