Agitated Rhyme

Latin's agitare means to move an animal, propel,
but when I'm agitated, as I find I am right now,
there are no horses here at issue, and not a single cow.
My innards, brain and so on, need to settle down,
relax, becalm, ease off, repose...my question is,
just how?

Breathing deeply, as my yoga DVD instructs, hasn't helped a lot so far.
