Mediation
I was able to use the part of the training about meditations to zero-in and clear my mind and focus on things.

A lot of times when you're doing this your mind is busy, your mind is racing, and trying to really use that meditation muscle to focus on one thing, that can be very healing for the other person...That's one thing I've seen that really works. Quieting the mind. Quieting the noise.
