1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:10,440
Let's get started by allowing 
the body to relax and when 

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,800
you're ready, let your eyes 
close like the sun sets. 

3
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:30,470
Let your awareness rest. 
With this verse and prayer, I 

4
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:34,520
was in trouble. 
I called to the Lord for help 

5
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:48,890
and He answered me. 
And again I was in trouble. 

6
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:55,250
I called to the Lord for help, 
and He answered me. 

7
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:10,670
Gently bring the awareness to 
the breath. 

8
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:20,200
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

9
00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:36,850
Take a nice big deep breath in. 
Now slow down on the exhale, 

10
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:46,450
letting go. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

11
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:57,920
effortlessly, and exhale, 
controlling the breath, slowing 

12
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:12,430
it down. 
Give yourself some space just to

13
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:25,970
be 
whatever you need to let go of. 

14
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:31,730
Let it go. 
Release it to God. 

15
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:37,570
Allow this time to be what you 
need it to be. 

16
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,560
And if the thoughts take you 
away, know that that's OK. 

17
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:06,200
When it feels natural and 
effortless, slowly bring your 

18
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:31,400
attention back to the breath. 
Remember, this is a place of 

19
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:39,760
safety. 
God's calming presence is always

20
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:58,880
accessible to you. 
Release your anxieties and let 

21
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:14,400
God handle what you cannot. 
Notice how the body is relaxing 

22
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:29,370
and releasing. 
Now begin to soften the back of 

23
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:39,200
your neck. 
Allow your limbs to become 

24
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:51,360
heavy. 
Allow the shoulders to relax. 

25
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:17,850
Let your mind rest just noticing
and appreciating this moment. 

26
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:44,040
When it feels natural, begin 
releasing the tension in your 

27
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:58,280
hands, shoulders and neck. 
Let go of that stress. 

28
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,720
Release your anxieties and 
worries to God. 

29
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:37,510
Let go of your grip on control. 
Take a big, deep breath in. 

30
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,600
Release your stress, let go of 
your frustrations. 

31
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:16,320
Let it all go on the exhale. 
We aren't holding on to the 

32
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,120
thoughts, we're just letting 
them release. 

33
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Now bring your awareness to the 
way the body feels. 

34
00:07:56,130 --> 00:08:01,250
Allow yourself to sink into your
chair or your bed. 

35
00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:27,960
Let the body relax and release. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

36
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:45,050
your attention to the heart. 
Feel the heartbeat, just 

37
00:08:45,210 --> 00:09:01,810
noticing it. 
Allow that natural rhythm and 

38
00:09:01,810 --> 00:09:20,440
stillness to relax the body. 
Just notice the way that you 

39
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:31,000
feel, not trying to change it, 
just accepting it the way that 

40
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:47,810
it is. 
Allow yourself to relax into the

41
00:09:47,810 --> 00:10:06,800
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,280
I was in trouble. 
I called to the Lord for help 

43
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:32,010
and he answered me. 
God, I know you're always with 

44
00:10:32,010 --> 00:10:36,490
me. 
Thank you for all of your 

45
00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:43,160
blessings. 
Help me to relax and let go in 

46
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,720
your presence. 
I trust your plan for my life.
