1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,760
Begin by getting comfortable and
allowing your body to relax. 

2
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:20,790
As you begin to feel your body 
releasing, allow your eyes to 

3
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:31,330
slowly close. 
Let your awareness rest. 

4
00:00:32,049 --> 00:00:39,920
With this verse and prayer, the 
Lord is close to all whose 

5
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:54,830
hearts are crushed by pain. 
And again, the Lord is close to 

6
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:57,670
all whose hearts are crushed by 
pain. 

7
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:14,990
Now bring your attention to your
breath. 

8
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe. 

9
00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:39,930
Allow your breath to make the 
body feel heavy. 

10
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:57,420
Let the body relax a little more
into your bed. 

11
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,560
And on your next inhale, begin 
to count the breath. 

12
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:29,400
One on the inhale and two on the
exhale, three. 

13
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:42,800
On the next inhale and four on 
the next exhale, counting U to 

14
00:02:42,800 --> 00:03:10,640
10 and then starting over again.
If you lose track of the breath,

15
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,440
it's OK, just start over again. 
Counting from 1:00. 

16
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,040
There's nowhere to go, nowhere 
to be. 

17
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640
We're just here counting the 
breath 

18
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:18,070
on the next exhale. 
Allow the breath to relax and 

19
00:04:18,070 --> 00:04:40,880
become natural. 
Notice how the body is feeling. 

20
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,840
It might feel good, or it might 
not. 

21
00:04:48,280 --> 00:05:11,400
Either way, it's OK. 
There are no expectations. 

22
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:34,170
With an easy awareness, begin to
bring your attention to the 

23
00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:43,010
space in the room, not examining
it, just sensing it. 

24
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:05,190
Notice your place in the room, 
just observing. 

25
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:23,940
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

26
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:30,740
Maybe it's a quiet room, or 
maybe it's not. 

27
00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:58,080
Both are OK. 
You're just listening and 

28
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,680
enjoying the sounds, not wishing
to change or get rid of the 

29
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:31,640
sounds, just accepting them. 
When it feels natural, slowly 

30
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:40,000
bring your awareness back to the
body, noticing the weight of the

31
00:07:40,000 --> 00:08:09,440
body. 
Allow the body to relax as it 

32
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:36,299
becomes heavier. 
Allow yourself to leave the day 

33
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:46,140
behind. 
Let go of the stress, being 

34
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:50,660
mindful to stay present in this 
moment. 

35
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:04,720
Let yourself unwind and 
naturally relax in the presence 

36
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:29,160
of God. 
As your awareness begins to 

37
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:37,440
drift deeper, rest into the calm
that only comes from the 

38
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:57,360
presence of a loving God. 
Take this verse with you. 

39
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,320
The Lord is close to all whose 
hearts are crushed by pain. 

40
00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:20,530
God, I know You're always with 
me. 

41
00:10:22,690 --> 00:10:25,370
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

42
00:10:27,530 --> 00:10:32,250
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

43
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,760
I trust your plan for my life.
