Another word for quiets

The point is that you may not begin to feel that intense feeling of love towards your baby until he gives you that first smile or until he immediately quiets at your touch.

Meditate - Meditation is a proven relaxation technique that quiets the mind and lets you focus on what you need to do.

Do this for several minutes until your mind quiets, and then, ask mentally, "Who will I meet today?"

This is actually a common relaxation technique recommended by doctors for patients with sleep issues, as it quiets "brain chatter" and keeps the stress over being awake to a minimum.
