1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,640
When someone whispers, we try to
be still so that we can hear 

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,440
them. 
We stop what we're doing and 

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,800
lean in to understand what 
they're saying. 

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,880
When God speaks to your soul, 
it's usually in whispers. 

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,520
So today, as you sit here in 
silence, listen to your heart. 

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,680
Lean in and listen for God's 
whisper. 

7
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:38,680
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by taking a moment to 

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:47,720
notice your breath. 
Just the rise and the fall of 

9
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:55,560
the chest. 
And when you're ready, let your 

10
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:06,840
eyes close like the sunsets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,360
this verse. 
There you will look for the Lord

12
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,160
your God, and if you search for 
Him with all your heart, you 

13
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:32,440
will find Him. 
And again, there you will look 

14
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,400
for the Lord your God, and if 
you search for Him with all your

15
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:59,120
heart, you will find Him. 
Bring your attention to the 

16
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:09,229
feeling of the breath. 
Let it settle into a natural 

17
00:02:09,229 --> 00:02:28,440
rhythm, effortless and easy. 
Notice how good it feels just to

18
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:45,520
breathe. 
With each inhale, let your body 

19
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:56,440
fill up with new life. 
With each exhale, release and 

20
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:12,860
let your body relax. 
Feel your feet on the floor and 

21
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:15,860
the weight of your body in the 
chair. 

22
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Now gently bring your attention 
to your emotions, just noticing 

23
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,880
the feelings that you brought 
with you today. 

24
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:58,550
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them as an 

25
00:03:58,550 --> 00:04:11,080
observer. 
Remember that you can leave 

26
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:22,460
those feelings right where they 
are, just allow those thoughts 

27
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:40,080
to bubble up and out. 
Remember, today is a new day 

28
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:48,040
with new opportunities. 
God is working in your life. 

29
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,520
With a gradual ease, take a nice
big breath. 

30
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:28,370
Be intentional with the breath. 
Big deep inhales and nice long 

31
00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:46,040
exhales. 
With each breath, allow the 

32
00:05:46,040 --> 00:06:09,110
muscles to soften and let go. 
Feel that sense of gravity and 

33
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:17,670
weight in the body. 
You're just uncovering the 

34
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:22,430
natural calm that's always 
accessible through God. 

35
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Now with ease, bring your 
awareness to the sounds in the 

36
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:55,560
room. 
Just listening to the sounds 

37
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:04,240
with an easy curiosity. 
Not placing judgment on the 

38
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,960
sounds. 
Just noticing the sounds and 

39
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200
accepting them as part of this 
practice. 

40
00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:29,050
If the thoughts take you away, 
it's OK. 

41
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:36,290
When you notice the thoughts, 
gently bring your awareness back

42
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:51,700
to the sounds. 
Just noticing and listening. 

43
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Now for a moment or two, let 
your awareness go where it wants

44
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:28,570
to go. 
Take this verse with you. 

45
00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:36,049
There you will look for the Lord
your God, and if you search for 

46
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:40,770
Him with all your heart, you 
will find Him. 

47
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:00,080
When it feels natural, bring 
your awareness back to the room,

48
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,600
just noticing the room with a 
gentle appreciation. 

49
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,720
And when you're ready, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

50
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

51
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,120
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

52
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,760
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
