1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,760
In my life, the times that 
really stick with me or caused 

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,280
me to change my opinion are 
those times when I felt a deep 

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,680
sense of love. 
People rarely change because of 

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,960
something they were told, but 
people do change when they're 

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,720
loved. 
Love believes the best in people

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,360
and sees them for what they can 
become. 

7
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,480
Love changes us into our better 
selves. 

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Go ahead and get comfortable in 
your position, really allowing 

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:46,640
the body to relax. 
And when you feel ready, let 

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:57,440
your eyes slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,240
this verse. 
Love is a safe place of shelter,

12
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
for it never stops believing the
best for others. 

13
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:22,540
And again, love is a safe place 
of shelter, for it never stops 

14
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:42,560
believing the best for others. 
Now bring your attention to the 

15
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:50,960
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

16
00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:05,300
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

17
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:16,840
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

18
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:29,880
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

19
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,440
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

20
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:48,910
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

21
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,880
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

22
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:19,650
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

23
00:03:20,650 --> 00:03:25,970
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

24
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:40,640
drift. 
As best you can, leave those 

25
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,840
thoughts right where they are 
and come back to that feeling of

26
00:03:46,840 --> 00:04:00,310
your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

27
00:04:00,310 --> 00:04:05,350
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

28
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:15,560
There isn't anything to 
discover, it's always been 

29
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:25,320
there. 
This is a safe place. 

30
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:44,700
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease. 

31
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:50,620
Bring your awareness to rest on 
your breath. 

32
00:04:57,570 --> 00:05:06,320
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale and then allow your 

33
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,960
awareness to rest in a little 
more with each exhale. 

34
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:35,380
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

35
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

36
00:06:02,470 --> 00:06:09,270
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

37
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:22,470
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

38
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:28,030
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

39
00:06:28,030 --> 00:06:35,080
feels like. 
Piece by piece. 

40
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:48,660
Release any areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

41
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:57,900
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

42
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:11,080
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

43
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:32,550
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

44
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:37,390
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

45
00:07:50,190 --> 00:07:55,390
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

46
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:16,120
Take this verse with you. 
Love is a safe place of shelter,

47
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,200
for it never stops believing the
best for others. 

48
00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:38,179
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

49
00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:44,059
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

50
00:08:44,059 --> 00:08:52,400
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

51
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

52
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,600
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

53
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,560
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

54
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:10,080
prayer.
