1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,320
To live with simplicity is a 
choice. 

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Our minds don't like to be idle.
It's easy to pick up our phone 

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,200
or look at the Internet, but to 
simply exist without distraction

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:33,160
takes practice and effort. 
Today, as you meditate and go 

5
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:39,120
about your day, make a note when
you feel that urge to distract 

6
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,120
yourself and choose to be 
present in that moment. 

7
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:57,560
Choose to live simply. 
OK, let's get started by 

8
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:05,880
allowing the body to relax, and 
when you're ready, let your eyes

9
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:16,240
close like the sun sets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,280
verse. 
The Lord is my shepherd. 

11
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,360
I shall not be in want. 
He leads me beside quiet waters.

12
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:45,760
He restores my soul. 
And again, the Lord is my 

13
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Shepherd. 
I shall not be in want. 

14
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,440
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul. 

15
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:24,400
Now bring your awareness to the 
space around the body, not 

16
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,680
really examining it, just 
noticing the space with an easy 

17
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:47,280
curiosity. 
Notice any sensations on the 

18
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,440
skin. 
Feel the clothes on the skin. 

19
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,340
Feel the temperature of the 
room. 

20
00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:13,510
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

21
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:25,740
Just a nice easy focus on the 
sounds in the room. 

22
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

23
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

24
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:10,790
Maybe the breath is shallow or 
maybe it's deep. 

25
00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:18,839
Both are OK. 
Just follow the breath as it 

26
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:34,420
moves through your body. 
Let the rhythm of your breath 

27
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:53,300
relax your mind. 
This is a safe place. 

28
00:04:55,300 --> 00:05:19,880
God is watching over you. 
With ease, bring your attention 

29
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:37,730
to the breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths. 

30
00:05:42,170 --> 00:05:46,050
Make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

31
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:13,280
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

32
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:37,800
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

33
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:47,800
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

34
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:07,370
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

35
00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:24,520
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

36
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:34,040
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

37
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:41,960
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

38
00:07:48,200 --> 00:08:10,600
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now for a few moments, allow

39
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920
your mind to do what it wants to
do. 

40
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:25,320
If it wants to think then let it
think, and if it wants to rest 

41
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:44,039
then let it rest. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,920
The Lord is my shepherd. 
I shall not be in want. 

43
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,720
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul. 

44
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:19,000
When you feel ready, slowly 
bring your awareness back to the

45
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,200
breath and allow your eyes to 
open. 

46
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Take a few deep breaths in 
through the nose and out through

47
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,120
the mouth. 
Notice how you feel. 

48
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,800
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

49
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,520
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

50
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,000
prayer.
