1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,240
An interesting way to find peace
in the moment is to imagine 

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,840
yourself as a witness to your 
own thoughts and emotions. 

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,040
Rather than living in your 
thoughts. 

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,200
Rest into God's presence and 
experience His love. 

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Let's begin by loosening the 
shoulders and the chest, and 

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,000
when you feel ready, just allow 
the eyes to slowly close. 

7
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:52,040
O Lord, you give me light, you 
dispel my darkness. 

9
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:10,080
And again, O Lord, you give me 
light, you dispel my darkness. 

10
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:29,980
Let's begin to take note of how 
the body is feeling. 

11
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:41,720
Not really thinking too much 
about it, just letting go of 

12
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,280
those feelings of tightness and 
tension. 

13
00:01:54,580 --> 00:02:00,540
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few deep breaths 

14
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:16,580
in through the nose and out 
through the mouth. 

15
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Deep breath in, expanding the 
body and filling the chest up 

16
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,520
and exhale, feeling the chest 
fall and let go. 

17
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Take another big deep breath in 
and control the exhale, letting 

18
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,600
it take twice as long as the 
inhale. 

19
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,280
With each breath, allow the 
tension to melt away from the 

20
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:30,330
body. 
Now allow your breath to take up

21
00:03:30,330 --> 00:03:37,770
a natural rhythm. 
Let the gentle sound of your 

22
00:03:37,770 --> 00:03:55,660
breathing relax your mind. 
There is no way to do this 

23
00:03:55,660 --> 00:04:02,380
wrong, just an easy, effortless 
awareness. 

24
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:31,840
Letting go. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

25
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:49,690
a few nice deep breaths in, 
really making a point to expand 

26
00:04:49,690 --> 00:05:06,430
the body and expand the chest. 
Notice how the breath makes you 

27
00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:24,960
feel. 
Now let the breath begin to 

28
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:33,450
settle. 
As your breath begins to settle,

29
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:49,550
allow the body to become heavy. 
Notice any sensations in the 

30
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:54,870
body. 
See if you're holding on to any 

31
00:05:54,870 --> 00:06:04,760
tension. 
Maybe the body is tight, or 

32
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,880
maybe it's not. 
Either is OK. 

33
00:06:18,610 --> 00:06:23,690
You're just scanning the body, 
looking for any areas of 

34
00:06:23,690 --> 00:06:27,170
tightness and letting them 
release. 

35
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,800
And if the mind drifts away in 
thought, slowly bring it back to

36
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,120
the feelings in the body and the
breath. 

37
00:06:59,430 --> 00:07:17,240
Your body knows how to relax. 
You don't have to think about it

38
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,680
for it to happen. 
You are simply uncovering the 

39
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:40,480
calm that was always present. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

40
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:57,330
arms of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

41
00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:06,570
O Lord, you give me light, You 
dispel my darkness. 

42
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

43
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

44
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,679
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

45
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,200
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

46
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

48
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,560
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
