1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,120
So much of our time we spend 
living in our head. 

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,320
It's so easy to forget that 
other people have lives just as 

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,840
rich and complex and difficult 
as our own. 

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,960
As you go about your day, remind
yourself that these are people 

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,520
with lives and feelings and 
doubts just like your own. 

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,640
Remind yourself how much God 
loves these people. 

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,720
The more you understand people 
and their lives, the easier it 

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,680
is to see them in love and 
acceptance. 

9
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,800
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable and taking a few 

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,960
deep breaths. 
As you begin to feel your body 

11
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,800
releasing, allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

12
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,680
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

13
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,600
Many people are suffering, 
crushed by the weight of their 

14
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,920
troubles, but the Lord is a 
refuge for them, a safe place 

15
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:37,420
they can run to. 
And again, many people are 

16
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:42,980
suffering, crushed by the weight
of their troubles, but the Lord 

17
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:47,980
is a refuge for them, a safe 
place they can run to. 

18
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:09,919
Keeping your eyes closed bring 
your awareness to the space 

19
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:23,350
around the room. 
Just noticing the sounds in the 

20
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:27,510
room and the sensations on the 
body. 

21
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:36,710
Welcome these sensations as part
of the practice. 

22
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,640
When it feels comfortable, take 
some nice deep breaths. 

23
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:22,980
Real easy deep breaths. 
Now begin to slow down the 

24
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:33,860
inhale. 
Long, slow, deep inhalation, and

25
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:41,360
then let the breath out and 
relax again. 

26
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Take another long, slow, deep 
breath in, filling up the body, 

27
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640
and then let the exhale come 
naturally. 

28
00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:05,390
With each breath, let your mind 
relax. 

29
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Allow your feelings to release 
and become a prayer to God 

30
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:41,020
now for a few moments. 
Let go of the focused attention 

31
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:48,820
and let your awareness rest. 
You are loved. 

32
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,840
And now bring your attention to 
the heartbeat. 

33
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:23,430
Allow its rhythm to relax the 
body. 

34
00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:38,770
As you begin to relax, bring 
your attention to the weight of 

35
00:05:38,770 --> 00:05:59,800
the body. 
Allow the arms and the legs to 

36
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:12,760
become heavy. 
Allow the face to soften all the

37
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:22,500
way down through the neck. 
Soften the skin. 

38
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,000
Allow the corners of the eyes to
relax. 

39
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,880
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

40
00:06:48,190 --> 00:07:00,550
Release the elbows. 
Let the wrists and the hands 

41
00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:11,520
relax. 
Soften the chest and the 

42
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:22,840
stomach. 
Release the hips and the thighs.

43
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Relax the calves all the way 
down to the ankles. 

44
00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:53,830
Allow the entire body to let go 
and totally relax. 

45
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,040
There is nowhere to go. 
You are exactly where you're 

46
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:34,530
supposed to be. 
Take this verse with you. 

47
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:42,010
Many people are suffering, 
crushed by the weight of their 

48
00:08:42,010 --> 00:08:48,410
troubles, but the Lord is a 
refuge for them, a safe place 

49
00:08:48,450 --> 00:09:08,600
they can run to. 
Gently bring your awareness back

50
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,040
to the feeling of your breath. 
Listen to the sound of your 

51
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:23,480
breathing and when you're ready,
slowly open your eyes and take 

52
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,960
another deep breath in. 
Give yourself a stretch and sit 

53
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,760
back and relax. 
Remember to take a moment to 

54
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,640
check in and notice how you 
feel. 

55
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:44,160
I hope you feel better. 
Take care and we'll see you 

56
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,800
again to Morrow with hope, 
mindfulness, and prayer.
