1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,920
The mystery of life is in the 
moment before you. 

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,119
It's not in the past or in the 
future. 

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,040
Memories and hopes are 
important, but they're not life.

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:23,520
Life is only lived in the 
present, the eternal now. 

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:32,439
As you meditate today, allow 
yourself to experience this 

6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:37,680
moment and let your heart open 
to the presence of God's love. 

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Let's begin by loosening the 
shoulders and the chest and when

8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,720
you feel ready, just allow the 
eyes to slowly close. 

9
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

10
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Look, I stand at the door and 
knock. 

11
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,360
If you hear my voice and open 
the door, I will come in and we 

12
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,520
will share a meal together as 
friends. 

13
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,920
And again, look, I stand at the 
door and knock. 

14
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,320
If you hear my voice and open 
the door, I will come in and we 

15
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,120
will share a meal together as 
friends. 

16
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Now slowly begin to take some 
deep breaths, allowing the body 

17
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:17,120
to open. 
Let the breath relax. 

18
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:31,640
Any areas of tightness in the 
body consciously start to turn 

19
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:39,520
the muscles off. 
Start with the muscles in the 

20
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:48,280
feet and the legs. 
Allow the feet to be heavy on 

21
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:56,200
the floor. 
Allow the chest and the back to 

22
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,440
open so the breathing can become
deep and natural. 

23
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Soften the shoulders, allow them
to fall away from the ears. 

24
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:27,380
Let the head fall and become 
heavy at the neck. 

25
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:40,620
Feel the weight of the body and 
how it pushes you down into the 

26
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:56,520
chair. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

27
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,840
your awareness to the sound of 
your breath. 

28
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Not changing anything about the 
breath, just noticing it, 

29
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:23,260
listening to the gentle rhythm 
of the inhales and exhales. 

30
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Filling the body up with fresh 
air and then slowly exhaling and

31
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:48,760
letting go. 
Let your mind be still. 

32
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:09,520
Now take a moment to be grateful
for this opportunity to relax. 

33
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:26,050
Notice how good it feels just to
be here in this moment. 

34
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,400
When it feels natural, begin to 
deepen the breath, 

35
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:02,800
let go of your worries and focus
your attention on the breath. 

36
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:20,320
Nothing else matters right now. 
You are here. 

37
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,360
There is nothing to do but 
relax. 

38
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Allow your body to honor the 
natural calm given by God's 

39
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:51,200
presence. 
Just listening to the breath, 

40
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,360
noticing the rise and the fall 
of the chest. 

41
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:10,880
Deep breath in, expanding the 
body, and then exhale, letting 

42
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:30,120
your awareness rest. 
Take another deep breath as you 

43
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:41,400
feel your lungs expand and 
exhale, following the air back 

44
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:52,120
out through the mouth. 
The thoughts may take you away, 

45
00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:11,060
and that's OK. 
With each breath, effortlessly 

46
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:30,560
rest into the arms of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

47
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,760
I stand at the door and knock. 
If you hear my voice and open 

48
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,920
the door, I will come in and we 
will share a meal together as 

49
00:08:44,920 --> 00:09:05,200
friends. 
Slowly bring your awareness back

50
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:12,600
to the body and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open. 

51
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,160
Take a moment to notice how your
body feels. 

52
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,880
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you again tomorrow 

53
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,560
with Hope, Mindfulness and 
prayer. 

54
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,680
Remember, be easy with yourself.
