1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,360
We tend to forget that there's a
spiritual world that's operating

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:14,680
within and around us every day. 
It's easy to feel like God is 

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,560
distant or somewhere else, but 
His world intersects with our 

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,960
own. 
By investing in solitude and 

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,960
prayer daily, you're learning to
interact with that world and see

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:39,120
God in your daily life. 
Rest into a place beyond the 

7
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,960
material world, and become 
connected to love. 

8
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:58,170
OK, let's begin by taking a few 
seconds to consciously relax the

9
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:09,400
body, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

10
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:20,800
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse, for the Lord your 

11
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:35,680
God is living among you. 
And again, for the Lord your God

12
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:55,370
is living among you 
in your own time, take a few 

13
00:01:55,370 --> 00:02:05,810
nice deep breaths in through the
nose and out through the mouth. 

14
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,320
Allow the body to let go a 
little bit more with each 

15
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:28,800
exhale. 
Feel the face and the neck 

16
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,520
softening as your body begins to
relax. 

17
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:45,700
Notice how your breath softens 
and relaxes the body. 

18
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Come to that sense of weight in 
the body, allowing the chair to 

19
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:16,940
hold the body up. 
Relax the arms all the way down 

20
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:24,780
to the hands. 
Allow the legs to become heavy, 

21
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,000
relaxing all the way down to the
toes. 

22
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:52,260
Feel the muscles softening. 
Allow the natural rhythm of the 

23
00:03:52,260 --> 00:04:05,220
breath to relax the body. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

24
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:18,519
the chest. 
Just noticing how good it feels 

25
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:36,160
just to breathe. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

26
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,840
let your awareness be free. 
Let it rest. 

27
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Bring your attention to the 
feeling of the breath. 

28
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:19,280
Let it settle into a natural 
rhythm, effortless and easy. 

29
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe 

30
00:05:54,150 --> 00:06:01,110
with each inhale, Let your body 
fill up with new life. 

31
00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:11,310
With each exhale, release and 
let your body relax. 

32
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,240
Feel your feet on the floor and 
the weight of your body in the 

33
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:46,200
chair. 
Now gently bring your attention 

34
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:56,720
to your emotions, just noticing 
the feelings that you brought 

35
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:10,160
with you today. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

36
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:26,140
just noticing them. 
As an observer, remember that 

37
00:07:26,140 --> 00:07:30,180
you can leave those feelings 
right where they are. 

38
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:42,380
Just allow those thoughts to 
bubble up and out. 

39
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Remember, today is a new day 
with new opportunities. 

40
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:25,850
God is working in your life. 
Take this verse with you, for 

41
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:29,170
the Lord your God is living 
among you. 

42
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,240
When you feel ready, slowly 
bring your awareness back to the

43
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,440
breath and allow your eyes to 
open. 

44
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Take a few deep breaths in 
through the nose and out through

45
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,360
the mouth. 
Notice how you feel. 

46
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,080
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

47
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,760
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

48
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,240
prayer.
