1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,840
Gratitude allows us to see 
things differently. 

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,800
Gratitude transforms whatever 
we're given to enough. 

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,440
It changes the equation by 
changing us. 

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,320
As you meditate today, let God 
fill your heart with gratitude 

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,320
so that you can see what you 
could not before. 

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:36,880
OK, let's get started by 
allowing the body to relax and 

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,200
when you're ready, let your eyes
close like the sun sets. 

8
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,160
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,440
I am leaving you with a gift, 
Peace of Mind and heart, and the

10
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,640
peace I give is a gift the world
cannot give. 

11
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:20,290
Again, I am leaving you with a 
gift, Peace of Mind and heart, 

12
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:26,570
and the peace I give is a gift 
the world cannot give. 

13
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Gradually and with ease, bring 
your awareness to rest on your 

14
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:58,800
breath. 
Feel the body rise with each 

15
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:07,640
inhale and then allow your 
awareness to rest in a little 

16
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:22,580
more with each exhale. 
Notice how with each breath the 

17
00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:40,800
body feels a little calmer. 
Begin to notice the space around

18
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:50,320
the body. 
Feel the contact of the body on 

19
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,640
the chair and your feet on the 
floor. 

20
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,320
When you feel comfortable, begin
to scan the entire body to build

21
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,600
up a picture of what the body 
feels like. 

22
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Piece by piece. 
Release any areas of tension. 

23
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,800
Let go of your stress. 
Let go of your anxiety. 

24
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600
You are exactly where you're 
meant to be. 

25
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:52,020
Allow that natural rhythm of the
breath to relax you. 

26
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:11,150
Let your breath guide you to a 
place of safety in the presence 

27
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:25,600
of God. 
You are accepted here. 

28
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:42,720
You are loved 
with ease. 

29
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,360
Bring your attention to the 
breath. 

30
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:06,330
Take a few nice deep breaths. 
Make them feel easy and 

31
00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:24,160
effortless. 
Feel life enter your body as you

32
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:32,160
breathe in and then release your
tension as you breathe out. 

33
00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:56,250
Inhale, feel how the body 
expands, then slowly exhale, 

34
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:17,680
feeling the body fall. 
Feel the air as it travels in 

35
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,320
through the nose and follow the 
air back out through the mouth. 

36
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,840
Allow each breath to soften the 
chest and relax the shoulders. 

37
00:06:52,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Begin to scan the body from the 
head to the toe, relaxing the 

38
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:20,510
body piece by piece. 
There's no way to do this wrong.

39
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:39,230
And now, for a few moments, 
allow your mind to do what it 

40
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:49,000
wants to do. 
If it wants to think then let it

41
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,360
think, and if it wants to rest 
then let it rest. 

42
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:17,710
Take this verse with you. 
I am leaving you with a gift, 

43
00:08:18,630 --> 00:08:25,270
Peace of Mind and heart, and the
peace I give is a gift the world

44
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:45,360
cannot give. 
When you feel ready, slowly 

45
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,640
bring your awareness back to the
breath and allow your eyes to 

46
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:57,920
open. 
Take a few deep breaths in 

47
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080
through the nose and out through
the mouth. 

48
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

49
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,120
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

50
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,000
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
