1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640
Life is a mystery that unfolds 
in chapters. 

2
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:16,329
You can be sure that God sees 
the entirety of your story in a 

3
00:00:16,329 --> 00:00:27,910
way that you never will. 
When it feels like you're off 

4
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:34,750
track in your life, remember it 
may be just a chapter in a 

5
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:44,960
larger story. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

6
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,280
comfortable and taking a few 
nice deep breaths. 

7
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,520
As you begin to feel your body 
releasing, allow your eyes to 

8
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:08,760
slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

9
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,720
verse. 
Teach me your ways, O Lord, and 

10
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:28,710
I will walk in your truth. 
Again, Teach me your ways, O 

11
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:32,750
Lord, and I will walk in your 
truth. 

12
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Bring your attention to any 
tightness in the body, just 

13
00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:07,500
noticing how the body feels. 
Start by relaxing the hands, 

14
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:13,460
letting go of any tension in the
hands. 

15
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Allow the arms to totally relax,
letting go at the elbows and the

16
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:40,020
wrists. 
Let the shoulders fall away from

17
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:52,040
the ears. 
Let the legs become heavy. 

18
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:03,500
Allow the muscles to completely 
let go. 

19
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Let your body totally relax and 
release. 

20
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:36,560
And now if it feels comfortable,
take a big deep breath, letting 

21
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:46,900
the air fill up the body. 
Feel the chest rise on the 

22
00:03:46,900 --> 00:04:04,880
inhale and fall on the exhale. 
Notice how the breath changes 

23
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:21,930
the way the body feels. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

24
00:04:23,210 --> 00:04:30,450
let go of any focus and just 
allow yourself to be. 

25
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:58,720
Now let's take some nice deep 
breaths in through the nose and 

26
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:14,830
out through the mouth, 
just noticing and observing the 

27
00:05:14,830 --> 00:05:22,670
breath, watching the rise and 
the fall of the chest. 

28
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

29
00:05:55,750 --> 00:06:01,750
Begin to notice any feelings you
may have brought with you today.

30
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:16,040
Thoughts are a natural part of 
meditation. 

31
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Just leave those feelings right 
where they are and then gently 

32
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,960
come back to the feeling of the 
breath. 

33
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:52,580
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 
controlled exhale. 

34
00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:07,780
Allow the breath to calm the 
mind and relax the body. 

35
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:26,520
And now allow your awareness to 
fall and move inward, finding 

36
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:42,920
that place where you feel loved.
Feel that natural peace in God's

37
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:56,200
presence. 
Remember, when you come near to 

38
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:16,040
God, He will come near to you. 
Take this verse with you. 

39
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Teach me your ways, O Lord, and 
I will walk in your truth. 

40
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,960
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

41
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

42
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,680
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

43
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

44
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,200
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

45
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,480
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

46
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,680
Take care and we'll see you 
again to Morrow with hope, 

47
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,040
mindfulness, and prayer.
