Take it on a trip to the East
One quick meditation practice is to follow the outline of a star in your mind while you deep breathe.
For every point on the star, alternate your breaths, i.e., start at the top and take a deep breath, pushing your belly all the way out. For the next point, exhale deeply through your nose returning your belly to its original position. Alternate your breaths until you have drawn a complete star or stars (depending on how much you need).
