00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,560
Today, as we start our 
meditation, let's strip away all

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,800
of the instruction and the 
baggage of doing. 

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,240
I want you to just experience 
it. 

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,680
You already inherently know how 
to relax and just be with God. 

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Take a minute just to breathe 
and be here in this moment. 

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,759
Let's go ahead and get started 
by gently bringing your 

7
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:40,760
attention to the breath. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:50,960
the chest, and when you're 
ready, let your eyes close like 

9
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:59,800
the sunsets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,280
verse. 
But to all who believed him and 

11
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,640
accepted him, he gave the right 
to become children of God. 

12
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:24,710
And again, but to all who 
believed him and accepted him, 

13
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:28,990
he gave the right to become 
children of God. 

14
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Now bring your attention to your
breath. 

15
00:01:51,280 --> 00:02:05,980
Just a soft, easy awareness. 
Notice what it feels like as air

16
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:11,500
passes in through the nose and 
then back out through the mouth.

17
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Let the breath bring life to 
your body. 

18
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:47,630
Begin to listen to the sound of 
your breath, listening to the 

19
00:02:47,630 --> 00:03:08,480
inhale and the exhale. 
On the next exhale, allow the 

20
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,840
breath to relax and become 
natural. 

21
00:03:24,790 --> 00:03:28,990
Allow your breath to bring 
renewal to your body. 

22
00:03:32,790 --> 00:03:37,990
You're making space to notice 
God's presence in your life. 

23
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,680
When it feels comfortable, bring
your attention to the heartbeat.

24
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:14,910
Allow that rhythm and stillness 
to enter every part of your 

25
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:38,560
body. 
Feel the presence of God in this

26
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:57,380
space. 
Gently bring your awareness to 

27
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:15,290
any sensations you're feeling. 
Just noticing the sensations on 

28
00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:31,920
the body. 
Maybe it's the air on the skin 

29
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,360
or the weight of the body in the
chair 

30
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:55,110
just noticing and welcoming 
these sensations as part of the 

31
00:05:55,110 --> 00:06:12,360
meditation. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

32
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:22,920
the chest as you breathe. 
Follow the breath and notice how

33
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:41,020
it changes your body, 
the inhales expanding the body 

34
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:50,120
and filling it up with life, and
the exhales relaxing the body, 

35
00:06:51,360 --> 00:07:07,570
letting go. 
You don't have to do anything, 

36
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:17,770
it's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

37
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:29,020
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

38
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,560
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

39
00:07:56,510 --> 00:08:01,030
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

40
00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:21,140
Take this verse with you. 
But to all who believed him and 

41
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:26,380
accepted him, He gave the right 
to become children of God. 

42
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,159
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

43
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,040
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

44
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:58,360
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

45
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,680
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

46
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,600
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

47
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,560
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

48
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:16,080
prayer.
