1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:09,120
Peace is within us. 
Finding that peace takes 

2
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:17,320
awareness. 
The world is designed to engage 

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,560
our minds and this makes it hard
to rest into that peace. 

4
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:33,360
As you begin to meditate, allow 
yourself to rest into this peace

5
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:42,560
of time with God. 
OK, let's get started by 

6
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:50,880
allowing the body to relax, and 
when you're ready, let your eyes

7
00:00:50,880 --> 00:01:01,240
close like the sunsets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

8
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:08,160
verse. 
When you have troubles, I am 

9
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,160
with you. 
When you cross rivers, you will 

10
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,800
not be hurt. 
When you walk through fire, you 

11
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:33,040
will not be burned. 
And again, when you have 

12
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,720
troubles, I am with you. 
When you cross rivers, you will 

13
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,840
not be hurt. 
When you walk through fire, you 

14
00:01:46,840 --> 00:02:05,360
will not be burned. 
Now bring your attention to any 

15
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

16
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,160
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them with an easy 

17
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:41,520
curiosity. 
Now take a few deep breaths and 

18
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,920
allow the body to relax a little
more. 

19
00:02:46,600 --> 00:03:02,650
With each exhale, 
with each passing thought, allow

20
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:07,250
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

21
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:32,580
Now begin to deepen the breath. 
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 

22
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:48,050
breath and then exhale, letting 
go of the breath and then right 

23
00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:58,560
back into the next inhale. 
Slow it down and make it deep, 

24
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:09,830
and then exhale. 
Let the body relax. 

25
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:31,830
Now allow your breath to settle 
and let your mind settle with 

26
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:47,280
it. 
Give yourself space just to be 

27
00:04:47,280 --> 00:05:11,960
who you are, a child of God. 
Keeping your eyes closed bring 

28
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,600
your awareness to the space 
around the room. 

29
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,360
Just noticing the sounds in the 
room and the sensations on the 

30
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:49,050
body. 
Welcome these sensations as part

31
00:05:49,050 --> 00:06:10,880
of the practice. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

32
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:24,560
some nice Dee breaths. 
Real easy Dee breaths. 

33
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,720
Now begin to slow down the 
inhale. 

34
00:06:52,360 --> 00:07:01,520
Long, slow, deep inhalation, and
then let the breath out and 

35
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,360
relax. 
Again. 

36
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:16,200
Take another long, slow, deep 
breath in filling up the body, 

37
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,600
and then let the exhale come 
naturally. 

38
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,360
With each breath, let your mind 
relax, 

39
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:52,670
allow your feelings to release 
and become a prayer to God. 

40
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Now for a few moments, let go of
the focused attention and let 

41
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,800
your awareness rest. 
You are loved. 

42
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,280
Take this verse with you. 
When you have troubles, I am 

43
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,720
with you. 
When you cross rivers, you will 

44
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,840
not be hurt. 
When you walk through fire, you 

45
00:08:49,840 --> 00:09:07,120
will not be burned. 
Softly begin to bring your 

46
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,840
awareness back to the body, back
to that feeling of weight in the

47
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,520
body. 
And when you're ready, slowly 

48
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,160
open your eyes and take a big 
deep breath in. 

49
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,320
Take a moment to check in and 
notice how you feel. 

50
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,720
I hope you feel a little more 
present. 

51
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,200
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope. 

52
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,240
Take care.
