1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,360 It's common to believe that peace is something that is 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,720 found, but the truth is that peace already exists inside of 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:20,230 you. The trick is learning how to 4 00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:28,590 uncover that peace consistently. As you prepare yourself for 5 00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:34,440 prayer today, leave all of your thoughts and emotions right 6 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:41,800 where they are. Allow yourself to rest into a 7 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:53,600 deeper place of peace. Let's begin by allowing the body 8 00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:04,840 to become heavy, and as you begin to relax, allow your eyes 9 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,120 to close. Now take a moment to consider 10 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:19,280 this verse. Don't worry about anything. 11 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:28,480 Instead, pray about everything, Tell God what you need, and 12 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:43,880 thank Him for all He has done. And again, don't worry about 13 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,280 anything. Instead, pray about everything, 14 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,480 tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. 15 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,000 With a gradual ease, take a nice big breath. 16 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Be intentional with the breath. Big deep inhales and nice long 17 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:49,680 exhales. Relax and settle into your body 18 00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,440 with each breath. Allow the muscles to soften and 19 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:12,570 let go. Feel that sense of gravity and 20 00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:21,160 weight in the body. You're just uncovering the 21 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,840 natural calm that's always accessible through God. 22 00:03:36,340 --> 00:03:43,060 Now, with ease, bring your awareness to the sounds in the 23 00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:53,010 room. Just listening to the sounds 24 00:03:53,330 --> 00:04:02,520 with an easy curiosity, not placing judgment on the sounds, 25 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,840 just noticing the sounds and accepting them as part of this 26 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:24,790 practice. If the thoughts take you away, 27 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:29,550 it's OK. When you notice the thoughts, 28 00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:34,950 gently bring your awareness back to the sounds. 29 00:04:46,160 --> 00:05:05,630 Just noticing and listening now for a moment or two. 30 00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:10,590 Let your awareness go where it wants to go. 31 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,360 Now bring your attention to the way it feels when you breathe. 32 00:05:49,540 --> 00:06:01,260 Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale and feel 33 00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:28,120 the body relax with each exhale. In through the nose, feel the 34 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:34,760 body expand and then slowly exhale. 35 00:06:52,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Let the breath be natural. Let the breath naturally relax 36 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:20,600 the body. Allow the face and the neck to 37 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:40,400 soften. Allow the forehead to relax and 38 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,600 the shoulders to fall away from the ears. 39 00:07:56,530 --> 00:08:01,930 Relax the body and allow the chair to hold the body up. 40 00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:20,650 Just relaxing and letting the body unwind. 41 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:50,040 Simply let go. Take this verse with you. 42 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. 43 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:06,480 Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. 44 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:25,760 When it feels easy, bring your attention back to the feeling of 45 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,600 the breath. Take a few more deep breaths and 46 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:39,280 slowly allow your eyes to open. Notice how the breath changes 47 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,000 the way you feel. I hope you feel a little more 48 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,880 relaxed. We'll see you again tomorrow. 49 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,520 Take care of yourself.
