1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120
It's amazing to plant a seed and
to watch it grow. 

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,600
When you fill your heart with 
the words of Jesus, you're doing

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,640
the same thing. 
God's promises are small seeds 

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,280
that, when planted, will one day
bloom when you least expect it. 

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,080
Let's go ahead and get started 
by gently bringing your 

6
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:33,160
attention to the breath. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

7
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:43,360
the chest, and when you're 
ready, let your eyes close like 

8
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:52,160
the sunsets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

9
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,720
verse. 
Stay joined to me and let my 

10
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:13,350
teachings become part of you. 
And again, stay joined to me and

11
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:16,550
let my teachings become part of 
you. 

12
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Now consciously begin to relax 
your muscles. 

13
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:50,980
Feel the weight of gravity on 
your body as the chair holds you

14
00:01:51,020 --> 00:02:06,780
up. 
Begin to notice how the body 

15
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:21,800
feels. 
Just scanning the body from the 

16
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:36,130
head down to the toes, 
consciously relaxing any areas 

17
00:02:36,130 --> 00:02:49,670
of tightness or tension. 
Take a few big deep breaths in. 

18
00:02:56,820 --> 00:03:00,020
Notice how the breath changes 
the body. 

19
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Just relaxing and releasing, 
allowing your body to totally 

20
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:27,980
let go. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

21
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:33,660
that's OK. 
Thoughts are a normal part of 

22
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:38,380
meditation. 
You aren't holding on to the 

23
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:45,240
thoughts or the feelings, you're
just allowing them to bubble up 

24
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:53,480
and out. 
You're releasing those thoughts 

25
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:10,820
to God. 
Now, for a moment or two, allow 

26
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:15,220
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

27
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,640
Bring your attention to the 
feeling of the breath. 

28
00:04:47,770 --> 00:04:55,290
Let it settle into a natural 
rhythm, effortless and easy. 

29
00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:12,990
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe. 

30
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,120
With each inhale, let your body 
fill up with new life. 

31
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,320
With each exhale, release and 
let your body relax. 

32
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:17,550
Now gently bring your attention 
to your emotions, just noticing 

33
00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:20,870
the feelings that you brought 
with you today. 

34
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:43,050
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them as an 

35
00:06:43,050 --> 00:07:01,600
observer. 
Remember that you can leave 

36
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:14,940
those feelings right where they 
are, just allow those thoughts 

37
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:39,560
to bubble up and out. 
Remember, today is a new day 

38
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:47,520
with new opportunities. 
God is working in your life. 

39
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:08,330
Take this verse with you. 
Stay joined to me and let my 

40
00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:27,840
teachings become part of you. 
When it feels natural, bring 

41
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,880
your awareness back to the room,
just noticing the room with a 

42
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,799
gentle appreciation. 
And when you're ready, allow 

43
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:46,600
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

44
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,720
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

45
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,880
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

46
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,280
another day of hope.
