1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Remember that you are loved no 
matter the opinion of the world.

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:19,440
Your life has eternal worth. 
Today, as you meditate, allow 

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,400
yourself to rest in the 
knowledge that you are loved by 

4
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:36,040
the One who created you. 
Go ahead and get comfortable in 

5
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:46,680
your position, really allowing 
the body to relax, and when you 

6
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,080
feel ready, let your eyes slowly
close. 

7
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,800
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

8
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:10,480
Love never gives up on people, 
it never stops trusting, never 

9
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:23,160
loses hope, and never quits 
again. 

10
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,160
Love never gives up on people. 
It never stops trusting, never 

11
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:52,480
loses hope and never quits. 
With a gradual ease, take a nice

12
00:01:52,520 --> 00:02:00,440
big breath. 
Be intentional with the breath. 

13
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,520
Big deep inhales and nice long 
exhales. 

14
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Relax and settle into your body 
with each breath. 

15
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Allow the muscles to soften and 
let go. 

16
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,920
Feel that sense of gravity and 
weight in the body. 

17
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,680
You're just uncovering the 
natural calm that's always 

18
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:10,860
accessible through God. 
Now, with ease, bring your 

19
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:14,020
awareness to the sounds in the 
room. 

20
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:30,340
Just listening to the sounds 
with an easy curiosity, not 

21
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:37,880
placing judgement on the sounds,
just noticing the sounds and 

22
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,160
accepting them as part of this 
practice. 

23
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:56,990
If the thoughts take you away, 
it's OK. 

24
00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:04,230
When you notice the thoughts, 
gently bring your awareness back

25
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:19,640
to the sounds. 
Just noticing and listening 

26
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:40,110
now for a moment or two. 
Let your awareness go where it 

27
00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:56,230
wants to go. 
When you feel comfortable, bring

28
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:59,590
your attention to the feeling of
the body. 

29
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:10,840
Make sure you aren't holding any
stress or anxiety in the body. 

30
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:29,960
Consciously begin to scan the 
body and make sure everything is

31
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:56,200
comfortable and relaxed. 
Take a few natural deep breaths.

32
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Release any emotions or feelings
you brought with you to this 

33
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:19,760
practice. 
Let God handle what you cannot. 

34
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,000
Relax the body a little more 
with each out breath. 

35
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Simply let go and rest in the 
presence of God. 

36
00:06:58,550 --> 00:07:13,760
Feel the space around the body. 
Appreciate the sounds in the 

37
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:27,840
room. 
Just listening and experiencing 

38
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:43,600
the feeling of breathing. 
If you notice any resistance in 

39
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:50,600
the body, come back to the 
breath and allow that tension to

40
00:07:50,600 --> 00:08:04,440
release. 
You are safe. 

41
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:25,460
Take this verse with you. 
Love never gives up on people. 

42
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:33,419
It never stops trusting, never 
loses hope, and never quits. 

43
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,600
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

44
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,520
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

45
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:05,840
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

46
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

47
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,040
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

48
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,040
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

49
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,520
prayer.
