1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,600
We're all trying to create a 
life where we're safe all the 

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,960
time, but no matter how secure 
your job or your family is, 

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,560
you'll never be able to create a
reality that's free from 

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,000
disaster. 
Given this fact, you're only 

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,280
left with faith. 
Faith that God is at work in 

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,080
your life and faith that you are
loved. 

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Rest and find the peace that 
comes when you let go. 

8
00:00:46,210 --> 00:00:54,330
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable, taking a few nice 

9
00:00:54,690 --> 00:01:05,080
big deep breaths, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

10
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:13,720
slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:20,480
this verse. 
You will keep in perfect peace 

12
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,840
all who trust in you, all whose 
thoughts are fixed on you. 

13
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,440
You will keep in perfect peace 
all who trust in you, all whose 

14
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:59,720
thoughts are fixed on you. 
Now bring your attention to the 

15
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,840
way the breath feels and take a 
few deep breaths. 

16
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,280
Gently expand the chest on the 
inhale and then let the body 

17
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:37,630
soften on the exhale. 
With each breath, there's new 

18
00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:54,170
life entering the body. 
As you breathe, begin to soften 

19
00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:57,850
the body, starting at the top of
the head. 

20
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,920
Allow the shoulders to fall away
from the ears. 

21
00:03:16,540 --> 00:03:21,580
Feel gravity push the body down 
into the chair. 

22
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:34,070
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the space around the body. 

23
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:53,440
Feel the air on the skin. 
Notice the temperature of the 

24
00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:08,590
air 
and now gently move your 

25
00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:21,850
awareness to the heartbeat. 
Allow the rhythm of the 

26
00:04:21,850 --> 00:04:35,310
heartbeat to relax the body. 
Let your awareness rest deeper 

27
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:45,040
in the presence of God. 
Simply let go 

28
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:04,940
now consciously begin to relax 
your muscles. 

29
00:05:15,550 --> 00:05:19,310
Begin to notice how the body 
feels 

30
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:35,830
just scanning the body from the 
head down to the toes. 

31
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Consciously relaxing any areas 
of tightness or tension. 

32
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:40,570
Take a few big deep breaths in. 
Notice how the breath changes 

33
00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:58,290
the body, 
just relaxing and releasing, 

34
00:07:00,930 --> 00:07:04,410
allowing your body to totally 
let go. 

35
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

36
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,840
Thoughts are a normal part of 
meditation. 

37
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,520
You aren't holding on to the 
thoughts or the feelings, you're

38
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,480
just allowing them to bubble up 
and out. 

39
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,740
You're releasing those thoughts 
to God. 

40
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:09,360
Now, for a moment or two, allow 
your awareness to rest deeper 

41
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:27,260
into God's love. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:36,020
You will keep in perfect peace 
all who trust in you, all whose 

43
00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:54,720
thoughts are fixed on you. 
Slowly bring your awareness back

44
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:02,120
to the body and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open. 

45
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Take a moment to notice how your
body feels. 

46
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:16,400
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you again tomorrow 

47
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,080
with Hope, Mindfulness and 
prayer. 

48
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,200
Remember, be easy with yourself.
