1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Rest is holy. 
In fact, it's part of God's 

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,360
creation. 
On the 7th day, he rested. 

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,560
Today, as you meditate, rest in 
God's arms and let His love 

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:29,720
restore your soul. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

5
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:37,840
started by getting comfortable 
in your chair, and when you're 

6
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:47,720
ready, take a few nice deep 
breaths and allow your eyes to 

7
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:55,200
slowly close as your body begins
to settle. 

8
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,880
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,120
He calmed the storm to a whisper
and stilled the waves. 

10
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:22,580
And again he calmed the storm to
a whisper and stilled the waves.

11
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,560
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

12
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

13
00:01:52,420 --> 00:02:00,060
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

14
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:10,360
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

15
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:18,840
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

16
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:28,510
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

17
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:36,750
This is all that matters right 
now. 

18
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

19
00:02:48,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

20
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:16,920
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

21
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,040
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

22
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:39,630
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

23
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:53,100
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

24
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:58,640
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

25
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,480
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

26
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:19,070
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

27
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,920
With a gentle curiosity, begin 
to notice the breath. 

28
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:56,420
Make the breath deep and full of
life. 

29
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:05,780
Allow that fresh air to fill up 
the lungs and then relax the 

30
00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:27,160
body as you exhale. 
Let your body become heavy as 

31
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:35,120
your mind continues to relax. 
You are exactly where you need 

32
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:53,020
to be. 
And now come to the heartbeat. 

33
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:58,700
Maybe even listen for its 
rhythm. 

34
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:33,330
Just relaxing and releasing. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

35
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:40,570
that's OK. 
When it's easy, bring your 

36
00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:58,640
awareness back to the heartbeat.
Just listen to your heartbeat 

37
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400
and the gentle sound of your 
breath. 

38
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:24,750
Let your breath act as an anchor
to this moment and this 

39
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:43,800
practice. 
With each breath, allow yourself

40
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,000
to rest further into the calm of
God's love. 

41
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:10,230
Take this verse with you. 
He calmed the storm to a whisper

42
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:28,400
and stilled the waves. 
Gently bring your awareness back

43
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:37,760
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

44
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,559
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

45
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,920
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

46
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,520
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
