I realize that there is a certain "Star Trek" qulaity to what I am going to suggest, but it seems to work for me.

If you put on a set of headphones and play specific tones, you can induce specific brainwave. You want an alpha meditative state? Play a 10hz isochronic tone in your ears and you've got alpha. This is called "brainwave entraiment" and nearly all forms of entrainment balance the two hemispheres. This is the concept behind Silva Ultramind Control System among others.

I use a $50 program called Neuro-Programmer from Transparent Corp. Google it, you might find it helpful.
