1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,840
We live in a society that always
values more. 

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,920
More stuff, more time, more 
money. 

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:20,520
But contentment and joy can only
be found in accepting what is. 

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,840
Basing your mindset on the idea 
that you already have enough 

5
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:40,830
allows you to live in abundance.
Today. 

6
00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:46,790
As you meditate, allow yourself 
to be content by focusing on 

7
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:50,310
what you have rather than what 
you do. 

8
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:58,710
Not allow yourself to be content
with what is. 

9
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,640
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

10
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:19,600
in your chair, and when you're 
ready, take a few nice deep 

11
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:26,080
breaths and allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

12
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:36,200
As your body begins to settle. 
Take a moment to consider this 

13
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,560
verse. 
Love is gentle and consistently 

14
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,760
kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous when 

15
00:01:47,760 --> 00:02:02,940
blessing comes to someone else. 
And again, love is gentle and 

16
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:09,840
consistently kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous when 

17
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:26,990
blessing comes to someone else. 
Now bring your attention to the 

18
00:02:26,990 --> 00:02:35,390
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

19
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:49,740
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

20
00:02:49,740 --> 00:03:01,320
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

21
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:14,350
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

22
00:03:14,350 --> 00:03:17,910
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

23
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:33,360
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

24
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,320
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

25
00:03:48,320 --> 00:04:04,120
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

26
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,440
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

27
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:25,160
drift. 
As best you can, leave those 

28
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,320
thoughts right where they are 
and come back to that feeling of

29
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:44,810
your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

30
00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:49,850
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

31
00:04:54,330 --> 00:05:00,040
There isn't anything to 
discover, it's always been 

32
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:09,800
there. 
This is a safe place. 

33
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:31,190
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease. 

34
00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:37,110
Bring your awareness to rest on 
your breath. 

35
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale. 

36
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,840
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

37
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,240
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

38
00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:49,740
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

39
00:06:49,740 --> 00:07:07,950
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

40
00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:13,470
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

41
00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:24,800
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

42
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:34,130
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

43
00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:47,390
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

44
00:07:47,390 --> 00:08:00,560
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

45
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:18,050
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

46
00:08:18,050 --> 00:08:22,890
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

47
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,360
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

48
00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:01,680
Take this verse with you. 
Love is gentle and consistently 

49
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:07,640
kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous when 

50
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:25,400
blessing comes to someone else. 
Gently bring your awareness back

51
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:34,720
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

52
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,560
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

53
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,880
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

54
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,520
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
