1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,760
The act of wanting more or 
striving for better isn't a bad 

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:12,560
thing, but sometimes when we get
what we want, it turns out to be

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,240
nothing like we expected. 
Allow yourself to enjoy your 

4
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:26,200
life as it is because happiness 
is never found anywhere but the 

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:34,600
present moment. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

6
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:43,040
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

7
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,840
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sunsets. 

8
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

9
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,440
This is my command. 
Be strong and courageous. 

10
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:15,360
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with 

11
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:28,640
you wherever you go. 
And again, this is my command. 

12
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

13
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:45,240
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

14
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:08,080
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths in, 

15
00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:20,380
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

16
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:30,890
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

17
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

18
00:02:52,090 --> 00:02:58,330
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

19
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

20
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,280
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

21
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:24,540
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

22
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body 

23
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,680
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

24
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:54,180
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

25
00:03:54,180 --> 00:04:01,420
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

26
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:15,120
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

27
00:04:23,410 --> 00:04:26,930
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

28
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:34,170
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

29
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,560
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

30
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Now bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

31
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:19,560
you. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

32
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,320
just noticing them with an easy 
curiosity. 

33
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Now take a few deep breaths and 
allow the body to relax a little

34
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240
more. 
With each exhale, 

35
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,360
with each passing thought, allow
your awareness to rest deeper 

36
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:35,800
into God's love. 
Now begin to deepen the breath. 

37
00:06:52,030 --> 00:07:02,830
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 
breath and then exhale, letting 

38
00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:13,830
go of the breath and then right 
back into the next inhale. 

39
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:29,940
Slow it down and make it deep, 
and then exhale. 

40
00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:49,900
Let the body relax. 
Now allow your breath to settle 

41
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:53,020
and let your mind settle with 
it. 

42
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Give yourself space just to be 
who you are, a child of God. 

43
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Take this verse with you. 
This is my command. 

44
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:45,720
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

45
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:53,240
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

46
00:09:08,430 --> 00:09:15,750
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

47
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:21,630
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

48
00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:29,310
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

49
00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:33,040
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,920
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

51
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,560
Take care of yourself.
