Plainsong and the chants of the Benedictines have always been particularly relaxing to listen to, though recently I have discovered Byzantine liturgical music, and that's just as lovely.
Balance is important in diets, gymnastics, and governments most of all.

when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...The notion that science
and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

Despite my disdain for organised religion, I do find ecclesiastical architecture and art to be rather beautiful. Dali's Christ of Saint John of the Cross is a particularly amazing work.
