1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,720
The best things in life aren't 
things. 

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,480
They're people. 
Things can bring joy for a 

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,000
moment, but an important 
relationship can change your 

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,440
life. 
As you go about your day today, 

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,560
remember the people in your life
that you love. 

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Be mindful of just how blessed 
you are. 

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,680
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by taking a moment to 

8
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:52,720
notice your breath. 
Just the rise and the fall of 

9
00:00:52,720 --> 00:01:00,560
the chest. 
And when you're ready, let your 

10
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:11,880
eyes close like the sunsets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,000
this verse. 
I couldn't stop thanking God for

12
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920
you. 
Every time I prayed, I'd think 

13
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:32,380
of you and give thanks. 
And again. 

14
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:37,100
I couldn't stop thanking God for
you. 

15
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:43,160
Every time I prayed, I'd think 
of you and give thanks. 

16
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Now bring your attention to your
breath. 

17
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Just a soft, easy awareness. 
Notice what it feels like as air

18
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,960
passes in through the nose and 
then back out through the mouth.

19
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Let the breath bring life to 
your body. 

20
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:58,100
Begin to listen to the sound of 
your breath, listening to the 

21
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:19,000
inhale and the exhale. 
On the next exhale, allow the 

22
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,360
breath to relax and become 
natural. 

23
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Allow your breath to bring 
renewal to your body. 

24
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,480
You're making space to notice 
God's presence in your life. 

25
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,160
When it feels comfortable, bring
your attention to the heartbeat.

26
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,400
Allow that rhythm and stillness 
to enter every part of your 

27
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:49,040
body. 
Feel the presence of God in this

28
00:04:49,040 --> 00:05:07,890
space. 
Gently bring your awareness to 

29
00:05:07,930 --> 00:05:25,780
any sensations you're feeling. 
Just noticing the sensations on 

30
00:05:25,780 --> 00:05:42,360
the body. 
Maybe it's the air on the skin 

31
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,840
or the weight of the body in the
chair 

32
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:05,570
just noticing and welcoming 
these sensations as part of the 

33
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:22,840
meditation. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

34
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:33,400
the chest as you breathe. 
Follow the breath and notice how

35
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:51,520
it changes your body. 
The inhales expanding the body 

36
00:06:52,120 --> 00:07:00,600
and filling it up with life, and
the exhales relaxing the body, 

37
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:18,030
letting go. 
You don't have to do anything. 

38
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:28,280
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

39
00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:39,530
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

40
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:56,000
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

41
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:11,500
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

42
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,320
Take this verse with you. 
I couldn't stop thanking God for

43
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,400
you. 
Every time I prayed, I'd think 

44
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:54,420
of you and give thanks. 
Gently bring your awareness back

45
00:08:54,420 --> 00:08:59,380
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

46
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:06,240
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

47
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,480
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

48
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:19,320
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

49
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,920
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

50
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,040
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
