1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:08,440
Letting go is part of love. 
To love is to let go of your 

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,200
expectations of others and 
accept them for who they are. 

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,280
Today, as you meditate, allow 
yourself to let go and love the 

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:31,600
people in your life as they are.
OK, let's go ahead and get 

5
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,840
started by getting comfortable 
in your chair. 

6
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,800
And when you're ready, take a 
few nice deep breaths and allow 

7
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:56,760
your eyes to slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

8
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,480
this verse. 
Love never gives up on people, 

9
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,400
it never stops trusting, never 
loses hope, and never quits 

10
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:25,900
again. 
Love never gives up on people. 

11
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:34,420
It never stops trusting, never 
loses hope and never quits. 

12
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,440
When it feels natural, let's 
take a nice big breath. 

13
00:01:58,190 --> 00:02:05,470
With each breath, allow the body
to become softer and more 

14
00:02:05,470 --> 00:02:15,870
relaxed, almost like a wave of 
relaxation washing over the 

15
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:24,960
body. 
The breath fills up the body, 

16
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,640
and then it gives way to that 
natural relaxation that's right 

17
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:48,930
under the surface. 
Now let's turn our awareness to 

18
00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:59,410
how the body feels. 
Just examining the body with an 

19
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:11,240
easy curiosity. 
Allow your shoulders to relax 

20
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:20,960
and fall away from the ears. 
Relax your arms and allow your 

21
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:32,400
hands to open and let go. 
Allow your temples and face to 

22
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:40,280
relax. 
Let the throat and the neck 

23
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,720
soften. 
Allow your breath to deepen as 

24
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:59,760
your awareness rests deeper, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

25
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:14,920
You are here and everything is 
OK God is with you. 

26
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:31,970
And 
now, for a moment or two, let go

27
00:04:32,170 --> 00:04:37,290
of any focus and allow yourself 
to simply be. 

28
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,600
Gently bring your awareness to 
any sensations you're feeling. 

29
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:07,420
Just noticing the sensations on 
the body. 

30
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,240
Maybe it's the air on the skin 
or the weight of the body in the

31
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:35,040
chair. 
Just noticing and welcoming 

32
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,000
these sensations as part of the 
meditation. 

33
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:53,620
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

34
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body, the 

35
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:26,080
inhales expanding the body and 
filling it up with life, and the

36
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,840
exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

37
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:50,640
Follow the breath as it comes in
through the nose and then goes 

38
00:06:50,640 --> 00:07:09,060
back out through the mouth. 
You don't have to do anything. 

39
00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:18,300
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

40
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:26,520
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

41
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:40,000
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

42
00:07:57,470 --> 00:08:01,990
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

43
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,480
Take this verse with you. 
Love never gives up on people, 

44
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,440
It never stops trusting, never 
loses hope and never quits. 

45
00:08:43,809 --> 00:08:51,010
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

46
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:58,360
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

47
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,680
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

48
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:13,200
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

49
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
