1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,560
When you take time to seclude 
yourself in meditation and 

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:08,280
prayer, you're opening your 
heart to God. 

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:16,520
Seeking God in solitude allows 
God to speak to the desires of 

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,680
your heart. 
Sometimes He will grant those 

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,480
desires, but other times He may 
be asking you to change what you

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,240
desire. 
But you can trust that by 

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,120
drawing closer to your Creator, 
you're drawing closer to your 

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:44,000
purpose. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,040
comfortable. 
Take a few nice big deep 

10
00:00:51,040 --> 00:01:01,000
breaths, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

11
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

12
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:18,520
For the Lord grants wisdom from 
his mouth come knowledge and 

13
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:32,720
understanding. 
And again, for the Lord grants 

14
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,080
wisdom from his mouth, come 
knowledge and understanding. 

15
00:01:54,830 --> 00:02:00,790
When it feels comfortable. 
Go ahead and take a few deep 

16
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:17,910
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

17
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:28,880
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

18
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,720
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

19
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:49,450
your surroundings. 
Notice the air on the skin. 

20
00:02:55,230 --> 00:03:07,280
Feel the chair beneath you. 
Pay attention to the position of

21
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,960
your body. 
Make sure that you're 

22
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:25,340
comfortable. 
Notice the state of your mind. 

23
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:33,500
Does the mind feel calm? 
Does it feel restless? 

24
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:47,240
Both are OK. 
Just a simple, easy noticing, 

25
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,520
just noticing the space, almost 
like you're an observer. 

26
00:04:11,250 --> 00:04:18,130
Notice the gentle sound of your 
breath coming in and going out, 

27
00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:33,120
deepening the inhales and 
extending the exhales, letting 

28
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:47,410
the body rest. 
Just relax. 

29
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:07,340
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

30
00:05:09,940 --> 00:05:14,780
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

31
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

32
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:47,600
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

33
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:56,600
effortlessly and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

34
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,200
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

35
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,040
This is all that matters right 
now. 

36
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:27,560
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

37
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

38
00:06:44,640 --> 00:07:01,710
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

39
00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:07,830
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

40
00:07:18,030 --> 00:07:25,390
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

41
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

42
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

43
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:52,840
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

44
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

45
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:33,230
Take this verse with you, for 
the Lord grants wisdom from His 

46
00:08:33,230 --> 00:08:35,510
mouth. 
Come knowledge and 

47
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:54,360
understanding. 
Slowly begin to bring your 

48
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:02,160
awareness back to the body. 
Maybe even move your fingers and

49
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,760
toes a little bit. 
When it feels natural, allow 

50
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,240
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take another big deep breath in 

51
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,720
and let it out with a sigh. 
Notice how you feel. 

52
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

53
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,880
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

54
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,400
prayer.
