1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,400
God made your body, mind and 
soul. 

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,320
By meditating regularly, you're 
slowly bringing together these 

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:26,520
facets of yourself. 
Accept yourself as you are body,

4
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:34,200
mind and soul. 
You will always grow and change,

5
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,960
but acceptance makes room for 
peace. 

6
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:54,140
OK, let's begin by consciously 
relaxing the body, and when 

7
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:58,940
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close. 

8
00:00:58,940 --> 00:01:09,440
As your body begins to settle, 
take a moment to consider this 

9
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:15,000
verse. 
You have made known to me the 

10
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:31,590
path of life, and again you have
made known to me the path of 

11
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:48,680
life. 
Now take a moment to be grateful

12
00:01:49,920 --> 00:02:03,240
for this opportunity to relax. 
Notice how good it feels just to

13
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:17,710
be here, in this moment. 
When it feels natural. 

14
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:32,120
Begin to deepen the breath. 
Let go of your worries and focus

15
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:45,710
your attention on the breath. 
Nothing else matters right now. 

16
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:53,910
You are here. 
There is nothing to do but 

17
00:02:53,910 --> 00:03:08,040
relax. 
Allow your body to honor the 

18
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,040
natural calm given by God's 
presence. 

19
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Just listening to the breath, 
noticing the rise and the fall 

20
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:33,080
of the chest. 
Deep breath in, expanding the 

21
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:40,280
body, and then exhale, letting 
your awareness rest. 

22
00:03:50,180 --> 00:04:00,460
Take another deep breath as you 
feel your lungs expand and 

23
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:06,020
exhale, following the air back 
out through the mouth. 

24
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,600
The thoughts may take you away, 
and that's OK. 

25
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:32,460
With each breath, effortlessly 
rest into the arms of God. 

26
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:57,040
Now slowly begin to take some 
deep breaths, allowing the body 

27
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:09,830
to open. 
Let the breath relax any areas 

28
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:27,240
of tightness in the body. 
Consciously start to turn the 

29
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:35,000
muscles off. 
Start with the muscles in the 

30
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,760
feet and the legs. 
Allow the feet to be heavy on 

31
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:51,680
the floor. 
Allow the chest and the back to 

32
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,960
open so the breathing can become
deep and natural. 

33
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:15,340
Soften the shoulders, allow them
to fall away from the ears. 

34
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:26,860
Let the head fall and become 
heavy at the neck. 

35
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:40,100
Feel the weight of the body and 
how it pushes you down into the 

36
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:56,000
chair. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

37
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,280
your awareness to the sound of 
your breath. 

38
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Not changing anything about the 
breath, just noticing it, 

39
00:07:18,210 --> 00:07:24,730
listening to the gentle rhythm 
of the inhales and exhales. 

40
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Filling the body up with fresh 
air and then slowly exhaling and

41
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:59,790
letting go. 
Let your mind be still. 

42
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Take this verse with you. 
You have made known to me the 

43
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:38,240
path of life. 
Allow your awareness to slowly 

44
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:45,960
come back to your body and when 
it feels natural, begin to open 

45
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,200
your eyes. 
Sit back in your chair, maybe 

46
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,760
you want to stretch a little 
bit. 

47
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Do whatever feels good. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

48
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,080
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

49
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,840
relaxed. 
We'll see you again to Morrow 

50
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,040
for another day of hope.
