1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:10,400
Let's get started by allowing 
the body to relax and when 

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,800
you're ready, let your eyes 
close like the sun sets. 

3
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:27,190
Let your awareness rest with 
this verse and prayer. 

4
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:34,320
This is the day the Lord has 
made. 

5
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Let us rejoice and be happy 
today. 

6
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:53,540
And again, this is the day the 
Lord has made. 

7
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:59,020
Let us rejoice and be happy 
today. 

8
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,960
Gently bring the awareness to 
the breath. 

9
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,480
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

10
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:41,110
Take a nice big deep breath in. 
Now slow down on the exhale, 

11
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:50,680
letting go. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

12
00:01:50,680 --> 00:02:02,200
effortlessly and exhale, 
controlling the breath, slowing 

13
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:16,720
it down. 
Give yourself some space just to

14
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:30,260
be 
whatever you need to let go of. 

15
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:35,980
Let it go. 
Release it to God. 

16
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:41,820
Allow this time to be what you 
need it to be. 

17
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,800
And if the thoughts take you 
away, know that that's OK. 

18
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:10,400
When it feels natural and 
effortless, slowly bring your 

19
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:35,640
attention back to the breath. 
Remember, this is a place of 

20
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:44,000
safety. 
God's calming presence is always

21
00:03:44,000 --> 00:04:03,120
accessible to you. 
Release your anxieties and let 

22
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:18,640
God handle what you cannot. 
Notice how the body is relaxing 

23
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:33,600
and releasing. 
Now begin to soften the back of 

24
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:43,420
your neck. 
Allow your limbs to become 

25
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:55,620
heavy. 
Allow the shoulders to relax. 

26
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:22,090
Let your mind rest just noticing
and appreciating this moment. 

27
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:48,310
When it feels natural, begin 
releasing the tension in your 

28
00:05:48,310 --> 00:06:02,560
hands, shoulders and neck. 
Let go of that stress. 

29
00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:13,990
Release your anxieties and 
worries to God. 

30
00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:41,750
Let go of your grip on control. 
Take a big, deep breath in. 

31
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:57,840
Release your stress, let go of 
your frustrations. 

32
00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:20,580
Let it all go on the exhale. 
We aren't holding on to the 

33
00:07:20,580 --> 00:07:25,380
thoughts, we're just letting 
them release. 

34
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,680
Now bring your awareness to the 
way the body feels. 

35
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,480
Allow yourself to sink into your
chair or your bed. 

36
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:32,200
Let the body relax and release. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

37
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:49,320
your attention to the heart. 
Feel the heartbeat, just 

38
00:08:49,480 --> 00:09:06,030
noticing it. 
Allow that natural rhythm and 

39
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:24,680
stillness to relax the body. 
Just notice the way that you 

40
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:35,240
feel, not trying to change it, 
just accepting it the way that 

41
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:52,020
it is. 
Allow yourself to relax into the

42
00:09:52,020 --> 00:10:11,080
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,760
This is the day the Lord has 
made. 

44
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,280
Let us rejoice and be happy 
today. 

45
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:36,940
God, I know you're always with 
me. 

46
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:41,780
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

47
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:48,680
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

48
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
I trust your plan for my life.
