1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,480
Cultivating peace in your life 
is something that occurs on a 

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:15,570
daily basis. 
Connecting with God and gaining 

3
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:20,010
perspective on the things 
happening in your life is key to

4
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:31,650
maintaining a peaceful mindset. 
Meditation and prayer act like 

5
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:42,760
water on the roots of peace. 
Practicing daily, you'll see 

6
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,680
gradual changes that can make a 
world of difference. 

7
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:57,620
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

8
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:05,300
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

9
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:14,400
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close as 

10
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,200
your body begins to settle. 
Take a moment to consider this 

11
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,640
verse. 
If you look for me 

12
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,400
wholeheartedly, you will find 
me. 

13
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:45,260
And again, if you look for me 
wholeheartedly, you will find 

14
00:01:45,260 --> 00:02:01,760
me. 
Bring your attention to any 

15
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,480
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

16
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:18,700
Not engaging with your feelings,
just noticing them. 

17
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Almost like you're observing 
your emotions and then letting 

18
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:41,160
them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

19
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

20
00:02:57,350 --> 00:03:02,390
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

21
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,960
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

22
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:34,400
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

23
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:44,480
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

24
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:57,160
to consciously relax the body, 
scanning down from your head to 

25
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,680
your toes. 
Release any areas of tension in 

26
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:18,279
the body. 
Surrender all of your stress and

27
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:24,760
all of your responsibilities and
just let your mind rest. 

28
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,640
You are safe. 
God is looking out for you. 

29
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:06,320
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

30
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

31
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:30,840
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

32
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:47,080
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

33
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:55,560
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

34
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:15,230
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

35
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:25,530
This is all that matters right 
now. 

36
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,040
Whenever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

37
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

38
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:03,640
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

39
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,800
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

40
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

41
00:07:38,770 --> 00:07:43,330
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

42
00:07:44,890 --> 00:07:48,890
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

43
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:56,810
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

44
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

45
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,200
Take this verse with you. 
If you look for me 

46
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,559
wholeheartedly, you will find 
me. 

47
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

48
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:03,880
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

49
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,160
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

50
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,680
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

51
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,480
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
