1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,720
We make so many decisions in a 
day, it's easy to get hung up on

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,080
some of them. 
Remember that we learn by making

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,640
decisions. 
Today, as you meditate, I 

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,120
encourage you to let go of any 
judgment on your decisions. 

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Just rest with them. 
Patience brings a wider 

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:44,930
perspective. 
Let's begin by loosening the 

7
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:53,730
shoulders and the chest. 
And when you feel ready, just 

8
00:00:53,730 --> 00:01:04,160
allow the eyes to slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

9
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:11,920
verse. 
Be strong and brave and wait for

10
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:26,830
the Lord's help. 
Again, be strong and brave and 

11
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:45,400
wait for the Lord's help. 
With ease, bring your attention 

12
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:57,230
to the breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths. 

13
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:05,550
Make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

14
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:28,800
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

15
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:49,310
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

16
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:59,310
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

17
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

18
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:32,040
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

19
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:41,600
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

20
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:49,480
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

21
00:03:55,690 --> 00:04:10,190
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now, for a few moments, 

22
00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:15,430
allow your mind to do what it 
wants to do. 

23
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:26,800
If it wants to think then let it
think, and if it wants to rest 

24
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:48,390
then let it rest. 
Bring your attention to any 

25
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:59,780
tightness in the body, just 
noticing how the body feels. 

26
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Start by relaxing the hands, 
letting go of any tension in the

27
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:47,510
hands. 
Allow the arms to totally relax,

28
00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:53,430
letting go at the elbows and the
wrists. 

29
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,320
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

30
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:40,150
Let the legs become heavy. 
Allow the muscles to completely 

31
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:56,820
let go. 
Let your body totally relax and 

32
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:13,280
release. 
And now, if it feels 

33
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:20,760
comfortable, take a big deep 
breath, letting the air fill up 

34
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:32,400
the body. 
Notice how the breath changes 

35
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:48,920
the way the body feels. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

36
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:57,480
let go of any focus and just 
allow yourself to be. 

37
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:20,870
Take this verse with you, Be 
strong and brave, and wait for 

38
00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:41,720
the Lord's help. 
Slowly bring your awareness back

39
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:49,120
to the body and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open. 

40
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,680
Take a moment to notice how your
body feels. 

41
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,400
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you again tomorrow 

42
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,080
with Hope, Mindfulness and 
prayer. 

43
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,200
Remember, be easy with yourself.
