1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Your past does not determine 
your future. 

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,280
You are not your past. 
God is a God of the present. 

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,400
With God, all things are new, 
including you. 

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,600
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable. 

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:35,160
Take a few nice big deep 
breaths, and when you're ready, 

6
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:46,840
allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this 

7
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,840
verse. 
This means that anyone who 

8
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,600
belongs to Christ has become a 
new person. 

9
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,040
The old life is gone. 
A new life has begun. 

10
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:16,300
And again, this means that 
anyone who belongs to Christ has

11
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,340
become a new person. 
The old life is gone. 

12
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:42,600
A new life has begun. 
When it feels comfortable, go 

13
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:52,200
ahead and take a few deep 
breaths in nice and easy. 

14
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Let the breath settle and become
natural and bring your attention

15
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:16,880
to the space in the room, not 
thinking too hard about it, just

16
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,200
becoming aware of your body and 
your surroundings. 

17
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:41,520
Notice the air on the skin, feel
the chair beneath you. 

18
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:52,230
Pay attention to the position of
your body. 

19
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:56,030
Make sure that you're 
comfortable. 

20
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Notice the state of your mind. 
Does the mind feel calm? 

21
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:30,500
Does it feel restless? 
Both are OK, just a simple easy 

22
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:45,120
noticing. 
Just noticing the space, almost 

23
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:57,770
like you're an observer. 
Notice the gentle sound of your 

24
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:12,660
breath coming in and going out, 
deepening the inhales and 

25
00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:18,740
extending the exhales, letting 
the body rest. 

26
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:50,400
Just relax 
now gently bring your awareness 

27
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,600
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

28
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:14,960
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

29
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,320
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

30
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly, and then exhale, 

31
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:56,530
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

32
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:03,810
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

33
00:06:03,810 --> 00:06:09,360
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

34
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,880
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

35
00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:30,090
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

36
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,720
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

37
00:06:49,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

38
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:23,020
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

39
00:07:23,020 --> 00:07:28,040
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

40
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:35,600
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

41
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:51,880
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

42
00:07:51,880 --> 00:08:10,800
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,880
This means that anyone who 
belongs to Christ has become a 

44
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,320
new person. 
The old life is gone. 

45
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:39,370
A new life has begun. 
Slowly begin to bring your 

46
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:47,160
awareness back to the body, 
maybe even move your fingers and

47
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,760
toes a little bit. 
When it feels natural, allow 

48
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,240
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take another big deep breath in 

49
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,720
and let it out with a sigh. 
Notice how you feel. 

50
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,440
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,920
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with Hope, Mindfulness, and 

52
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,440
prayer.
