The world will slowly begin to 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,400 look different. When you see the world through a 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,520 lens of love, you can't help but to be thankful. 6 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:42,440 Let's begin by allowing the body to become heavy, and as you 7 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,960 begin to relax, allow your eyes to close. 8 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,080 Now take a moment to consider this verse. 9 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,480 For the Lord grants wisdom from his mouth, come knowledge and 10 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:20,690 understanding. And again, for the Lord grants 11 00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:27,050 wisdom from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 12 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,320 Now gently bring your awareness to the breath. 13 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Allow your breath to deepen and fill the lungs. 14 00:01:58,210 --> 00:02:05,850 Big deep breath in and then taking twice as long on the 15 00:02:05,850 --> 00:02:16,080 exhale. Let the inhale come easily and 16 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:24,560 effortlessly, and then exhale, controlling the breath. 17 00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:34,210 Allow yourself to be here in this moment. 18 00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:42,490 This is all that matters right now. 19 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:56,080 Whenever you need to let go of let it go, release it to God. 20 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,800 Today is a new day with new opportunities. 21 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Allow your breath to renew your spirit and connect you to your 22 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:41,970 Creator who loves you. Deep breath in through the nose 23 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:58,240 and out through the mouth. Remember, this is a place of 24 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,280 love. Let this practice be whatever 25 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,840 you need it to be. God's calming presence is always 26 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:22,100 accessible to you. Let your awareness rest in the 27 00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:46,360 loving presence of God. With a gentle curiosity, begin 28 00:04:46,360 --> 00:05:04,360 to notice the breath. Make the breath deep and full of 29 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,360 life. Allow that fresh air to fill up 30 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,440 the lungs and then relax the body as you exhale. 31 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,240 Let your body become heavy as your mind continues to relax. 32 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,280 You are exactly where you need to be. 33 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:14,600 And now come to the heartbeat. Maybe even listen for its 34 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:31,650 rhythm, just relaxing and releasing. 35 00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:47,270 If the thoughts take you away, that's OK. 36 00:06:49,150 --> 00:06:54,840 When it's easy, bring your awareness back to the heartbeat. 37 00:07:08,850 --> 00:07:14,890 Just listen to your heartbeat and the gentle sound of your 38 00:07:14,890 --> 00:07:31,290 breath. Let your breath act as an anchor 39 00:07:31,650 --> 00:07:35,130 to this moment and this practice. 40 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:54,920 With each breath, allow yourself to rest further into the calm of 41 00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:14,860 God's love.

When it feels natural, bring 44 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:45,400 your awareness back to the room, just noticing the room with a 45 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,320 gentle appreciation. And when you're ready, allow 46 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:57,120 your eyes to slowly open. Take a moment to notice how you 47 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240 feel.
