Get down on your knees (Grew up Catholic) and "pray" for help. Works for me to calm me down and get a sense of relief. I'm not really a believer but some people are and if that works for them so much the better. It is the feeling that there is some bigger community of people/things that brings me to a relatively happy/calm state.

I'm not sure if that is meditation but pushing out the bad and concentrating or allowing only the good works for me.
