Heh, yes crying is a good stress reliever.
I think the most basic meditation is focussing on your breathing. Thats it. You sit there (don't start with your legs crossed because that inhibits the flow of energy through your body), breathe in, picturing all the air come in through your lungs and flow throughout your body then, as you breathe out, picture it all getting sucked slowly towards and out of your mouth.
Whenever your mind drifts, bring it back to your breathing.
"Air goes in....air goes out......air goes in.....air goes out..."
I've got a friend who is doing meditation classes and is learning all sorts of forms of meditation. This is the one she told me to start with. The only trouble is that, if I watch my breathing, I don't breathe properly and theres no flow to it. "Air goes......i....n....airgoesout...air.....go....esinairgoes.........out"
Haha
