1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,680
If you come from a past where 
you've been hurt or wounded, 

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,600
know that tomorrow will bring a 
better day. 

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:13,720
Jesus tells us that He can heal 
our wounds. 

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,120
He can bring back the smile you 
lost. 

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,160
Let the love of Jesus fill your 
heart and restore your soul. 

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,960
Allow that message to rest with 
you as you work your way through

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:38,400
this meditation. 
Let's begin by allowing the body

8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:49,640
to become heavy, and as you 
begin to relax, allow your eyes 

9
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,920
to close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

10
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,400
this verse. 
He will once again fill your 

11
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,640
mouth with laughter and your 
lips with shouts of joy. 

12
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:24,050
Again, He will once again fill 
your mouth with laughter and 

13
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:47,160
your lips with shouts of joy. 
Now let's take some nice deep 

14
00:01:47,160 --> 00:02:02,930
breaths in through the nose and 
out through the mouth, just 

15
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:11,330
noticing and observing the 
breath, watching the rise and 

16
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:25,240
the fall of the chest. 
Listen to the gentle sound of 

17
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:38,250
your breathing. 
Begin to notice any feelings you

18
00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:51,370
may have brought with you today.
Thoughts are a natural part of 

19
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:59,090
meditation. 
Just leave those feelings right 

20
00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:05,760
where they are and then gently 
come back to the feeling of the 

21
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:21,680
breath. 
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 

22
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:35,240
controlled exhale. 
Allow the breath to calm the 

23
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:54,400
mind and relax the body. 
And now allow your awareness to 

24
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:03,440
fall and move inward, finding 
that place where you feel loved.

25
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:15,060
Feel that natural peace in God's
presence. 

26
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:29,560
Remember, when you come near to 
God, He will come near to you. 

27
00:04:51,230 --> 00:04:55,270
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe. 

28
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:17,740
Allow your inhales to fill the 
body up and then totally relax 

29
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:40,080
the body on the exhale. 
Notice how your breath changes 

30
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:58,890
the way your body feels, 
and on your next inhale, begin 

31
00:05:58,890 --> 00:06:06,610
to count the breath. 
One on the inhale and two. 

32
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:17,520
On the exhale, three. 
On the next inhale and four on 

33
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:25,360
the next exhale, counting up to 
10 and then starting over again.

34
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:51,720
If you lose track of the breath,
it's OK, just start over again. 

35
00:06:52,600 --> 00:07:13,720
Counting from 1:00. 
There is nowhere to go, nowhere 

36
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,720
to be. 
We are just here, counting the 

37
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:32,730
breath 
on the next exhale. 

38
00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:38,410
Allow the breath to relax and 
become natural. 

39
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,640
And now, for a moment or two, 
let your mind relax. 

40
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:18,860
Take this verse with you. 
He will once again fill your 

41
00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:24,100
mouth with laughter and your 
lips with shouts of joy. 

42
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:44,280
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

43
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,120
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

44
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:57,800
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

45
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

46
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,400
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

47
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Take care of yourself.
