I find a labyrinth just the thing for calming..(check out these PDF files) here you can download one to print, and trace the path...
this one is like the one in
Chartres Cathedral in France

This one is more Roman or Greek (Classical or Minoan Crete style)


in either case, follow the white path to the center, and if you
should want to do so , you can equate the path towards the center
as the past (or reflect on where you are coming from) and the center
as "NOW" and the outward journey as the future....unless that all is
too much work and you just want to "be" in the moment.


Here is the text of a flyer I wrote to accompany a labyrinth I made
which is painted on a tarp...16 feet by 16 feet.
At the entrance I had a bowl of small stones with
an invite to choose one and hold it while walking
the path...and take the stone to commemorate the
experience.

WALK THE LABYRINTH---TOWARDS THE ONE

IN MANY LANDS LABYRINTHS HAVE BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES.
THE PATH LEADS IN TO THE CENTER AND OUT AGAIN.
THERE ARE NO "WRONG TURNS" OR "DEAD ENDS"

A LABYRINTH IS A SACRED SPACE. IT CAN BE WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS .
LIKE DNA, THE BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE, THE PATH IS A SPIRAL.

THE JOURNEY ALONG THE PATH OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES
TO THINK, MEDITATE, CENTER, MAKE A WISH, RE-ASSESS.
BEFORE YOU WALK THE PATH, TAKE A MOMENT TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE YOURSELF AS PART OF THE INFINITE UNIVERSE.
NOW BRING YOUR FOCUS BACK TO YOURSELF.
NOW TURN YOUR ATTENTION WITHIN YOURSELF TO
BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.
THE LABYRINTH CAN BE A PLACE WHERE THE
PHYSICAL PLANE AND THE SPIRITUAL REALM INTERSECT.
YOU MAY WANT TO VISUALIZE YOUR LABYRINTH JOURNEY IN THREE PARTS:
THE WAY IN COULD REPRESENT THE PAST
THE CENTER COULD BE THE NOW, THE PRESENT
AND THE WAY OUT COULD SYMBOLIZE THE FUTURE: TOMORROW.
IF YOU APPROACH THE LABYRINTH WITH A SPECIFIC INTENT,
TO CONCENTRATE ON SOMETHING YOU WANT OR IMAGINE
FOR YOURSELF, ANOTHER PERSON, YOUR COMMUNITY, THE WORLD
SOMETHING YOU HOPE TO GAIN, TO LOSE, TO CHANGE.
CHOOSE A SMALL STONE TO HOLD WHILE YOU WALK.
YOU MAY KEEP THIS SMALL TOKEN AS A REMINDER OF YOUR WALK,
TAKE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU INTO YOUR DAILY WALK THROUGH LIFE
