1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:12,960
Let's start by taking a few nice
deep breaths and when you're 

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,280
ready, allow your eyes to slowly
close like the sunsets. 

3
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:32,549
As your breath begins to relax 
your body, allow your awareness 

4
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:36,150
to rest with this verse and 
prayer. 

5
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,960
The Lord God is my strength and 
my song. 

6
00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:58,500
And again, the Lord God is my 
strength and my song. 

7
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:14,710
Now bring your attention to the 
way the body feels. 

8
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:37,180
Notice your breath. 
Allow the inhales to expand the 

9
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:45,380
body. 
Notice how the exhales make you 

10
00:01:45,380 --> 00:02:03,600
feel. 
Feel the body relax and become 

11
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:23,760
heavier. 
Relax the corners of the eyes. 

12
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:41,350
Soften the forehead down the 
front of the face. 

13
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Allow the neck to relax and the 
shoulders to fall away from the 

14
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:23,310
ears. 
Relax the temples. 

15
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:38,990
Feel the weight of the body so 
the arms become heavy. 

16
00:03:49,720 --> 00:04:03,390
The legs are becoming heavy. 
Feel the bones become heavy. 

17
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Letting the breath become 
natural, 

18
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,280
allow the whole body to soften 
and release. 

19
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Gently bring the awareness to 
the breath. 

20
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,840
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

21
00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:48,500
Take a nice big deep breath in. 
Now slow down on the exhale, 

22
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:58,080
letting go. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

23
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:09,560
effortlessly and exhale, 
controlling the breath, slowing 

24
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:28,080
it down. 
Give yourself some space just to

25
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:41,610
be 
whatever you need to let go of. 

26
00:06:43,330 --> 00:06:47,330
Let it go. 
Release it to God. 

27
00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:53,170
Allow this time to be what you 
need it to be. 

28
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,200
And if the thoughts take you 
away, know that that's OK. 

29
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:25,800
When it feels natural and 
effortless, slowly bring your 

30
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:53,000
attention back to the breath. 
Remember, this is a place of 

31
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:01,360
safety. 
God's calming presence is always

32
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:20,470
accessible to you. 
Release your anxieties and let 

33
00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:36,000
God handle what you cannot. 
Notice how the body is relaxing 

34
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:54,970
and releasing. 
Now begin to soften the back of 

35
00:08:54,970 --> 00:09:04,800
your neck. 
Allow your limbs to become 

36
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:17,000
heavy. 
Allow the shoulders to relax. 

37
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Let your mind rest just noticing
and appreciating this moment. 

38
00:10:04,430 --> 00:10:12,030
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord God is my strength and 

39
00:10:12,030 --> 00:10:28,160
my song. 
God, I know you're always with 

40
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,640
me. 
Thank you for all of your 

41
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:39,280
blessings. 
Help me to relax and let go in 

42
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,880
your presence. 
I trust your plan for my life.
