1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,360
Bringing your full attention to 
a thing will often allow you to 

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,280
see its beauty. 
It can even be something that 

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:17,760
normally may annoy you, like the
sounds of traffic or even ATV in

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,120
another room. 
Not something unpleasant, but 

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,840
rather something that helps you 
stay connected to this moment. 

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,960
You can use these sounds as 
anchors to keep you grounded in 

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:47,060
the moment. 
OK, let's begin by taking a few 

8
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:57,220
seconds to consciously relax the
body, and when you're ready, 

9
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:08,480
allow your eyes to slowly close.
Now take a moment to consider 

10
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,240
this verse. 
Be still and know that I am God.

11
00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:29,790
And again, be still and know 
that I am God. 

12
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Gently bring your awareness to 
any sensations you're feeling. 

13
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Just noticing the sensations on 
the body. 

14
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:09,750
Maybe it's the air on the skin 
or the weight of the body in the

15
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:20,000
chair. 
Just noticing and welcoming the 

16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,480
sensations as part of the 
meditation. 

17
00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:38,130
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

18
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:53,430
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body. 

19
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:06,480
The inhales expanding the body 
and filling it up with life, and

20
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,360
the exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

21
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:31,150
Follow the breath as it comes in
through the nose and then goes 

22
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:45,520
back out through the mouth. 
You don't have to do anything. 

23
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:54,760
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

24
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,000
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

25
00:04:10,370 --> 00:04:16,450
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

26
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,040
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

27
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:53,290
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

28
00:04:53,330 --> 00:05:14,400
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

29
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:26,320
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

30
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:33,200
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

31
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:50,630
your surroundings. 
Feel the chair beneath you, pay 

32
00:05:50,630 --> 00:05:53,470
attention to the position of 
your body. 

33
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:57,230
Make sure that you're 
comfortable. 

34
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Notice the state of your mind. 
Does the mind feel calm? 

35
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,480
Does it feel restless? 
Both are OK, 

36
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:56,880
just a simple easy noticing. 
Just noticing the space, almost 

37
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:14,540
like you're an observer. 
Notice the gentle sound of your 

38
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:33,420
breath coming in and going out, 
deepening the inhales and 

39
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:39,500
extending the exhales, letting 
the body rest. 

40
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:17,730
Just relax, 
take this verse with you, be 

41
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:38,350
still and know that I am God. 
When you feel ready, slowly 

42
00:08:38,350 --> 00:08:44,670
bring your awareness back to the
breath and allow your eyes to 

43
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:50,920
open. 
Take a few deep breaths in 

44
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,080
through the nose and out through
the mouth. 

45
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,960
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

46
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,120
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

47
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,000
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
