1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,360
One of the hardest truths of 
life is that it's designed to 

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,920
have pain and struggle. 
Pain isn't a defect in the plan,

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:21,640
it's part of the plan. 
The price of love is loss, and 

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,880
while that isn't necessarily 
comforting, your troubles are 

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,280
not a surprise to God. 
He knows them and He feels them.

6
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,840
Today, rest in the knowledge 
that God loves you and He's with

7
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:53,240
you, even in your pain. 
OK, let's get started by 

8
00:00:53,240 --> 00:01:03,760
allowing the body to relax and 
when you're ready, let your eyes

9
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:13,200
close like the sun sets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,120
this verse. 
Here on Earth you will have many

11
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,480
trials and sorrows, but take 
heart, because I have overcome 

12
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:38,900
the world. 
And again, here on earth you 

13
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:45,100
will have many trials and 
sorrows, but take heart, because

14
00:01:45,100 --> 00:02:05,440
I have overcome the world. 
Gradually and with ease, bring 

15
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,120
your awareness to rest on your 
breath. 

16
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale and then allow your 

17
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,440
awareness to rest in a little 
more with each exhale. 

18
00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:43,890
Notice how with each breath the 
body feels a little calmer. 

19
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

20
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:12,740
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

21
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:23,960
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

22
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,480
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

23
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,560
feels like. 
Piece by piece. 

24
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Release any areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

25
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

26
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:08,570
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

27
00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:26,020
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

28
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:30,860
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

29
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,360
You are accepted here. 
You are loved 

30
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:04,610
with ease. 
Bring your attention to the 

31
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:16,750
breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths. 

32
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:25,900
Make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

33
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:48,280
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

34
00:05:48,280 --> 00:06:08,800
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

35
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:18,800
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

36
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:40,320
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

37
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:56,480
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

38
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:14,040
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

39
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:22,000
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

40
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:53,690
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now, for a few moments, 

41
00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:58,930
allow your mind to do what it 
wants to do. 

42
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:11,560
If it wants to think, then let 
it think, and if it wants to 

43
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:35,090
rest then let it rest. 
Take this verse with you here on

44
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:37,890
earth. 
You will have many trials and 

45
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:44,770
sorrows, but take heart because 
I have overcome the world. 

46
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:03,480
When you feel ready, slowly 
bring your awareness back to the

47
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,720
breath and allow your eyes to 
open. 

48
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Take a few deep breaths in 
through the nose and out through

49
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,640
the mouth. 
Notice how you feel. 

50
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,320
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,000
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

52
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,480
prayer.
