1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,600
The concept of letting go is 
easier said than done. 

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,080
By coming to God with open 
hands, you're letting God's hand

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,040
work in your life. 
You'll never understand the 

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,840
story of your life like God 
does, but that's OK because He 

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,680
loves you more than anyone else 
ever will. 

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,080
There's an eternal purpose for 
your life. 

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,920
When you trust in His plan, you 
can truly let go. 

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,200
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by taking a moment to 

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:52,240
notice your breath. 
Just the rise and the fall of 

10
00:00:52,240 --> 00:01:00,040
the chest. 
And when you're ready, let your 

11
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:11,360
eyes close like the sun sets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

12
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,640
this verse. 
Even as you grow old and your 

13
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,680
hair turns Gray, I'll keep 
carrying you. 

14
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:37,920
And again, even as you grow old 
and your hair turns Gray, I'll 

15
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:57,130
keep carrying you. 
Bring your attention to the 

16
00:01:57,130 --> 00:02:07,240
feeling of the breath. 
Let it settle into a natural 

17
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:26,440
rhythm, effortless and easy. 
Notice how good it feels just to

18
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:43,510
breathe 
with each inhale, Let your body 

19
00:02:43,510 --> 00:02:54,430
fill up with new life. 
With each exhale, release and 

20
00:02:54,430 --> 00:03:10,840
let your body relax. 
Feel your feet on the floor and 

21
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
the weight of your body in the 
chair. 

22
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:36,510
Now gently bring your attention 
to your emotions, just noticing 

23
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:39,870
the feelings that you brought 
with you today. 

24
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them. 

25
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:10,340
As an observer, remember that 
you can leave those feelings 

26
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:22,190
right where they are. 
Just allow those thoughts to 

27
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:38,040
bubble up and out. 
Remember, today is a new day 

28
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:46,000
with new opportunities. 
God is working in your life 

29
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:05,500
with a gradual ease. 
Take a nice big breath. 

30
00:05:12,190 --> 00:05:26,360
Be intentional with the breath. 
Big deep inhales and nice long 

31
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:44,040
exhales 
with each breath allow the 

32
00:05:44,040 --> 00:06:07,120
muscles to soften and let go. 
Feel that sense of gravity and 

33
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:15,680
weight in the body. 
You're just uncovering the 

34
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,400
natural calm that's always 
accessible through God. 

35
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:39,560
Now with ease, bring your 
awareness to the sounds in the 

36
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:53,540
room. 
Just listening to the sounds 

37
00:06:53,860 --> 00:07:02,180
with an easy curiosity. 
Not placing judgement on the 

38
00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:08,900
sounds, just noticing the sounds
and accepting them. 

39
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:25,290
As part of this practice. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

40
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:30,090
it's OK. 
When you notice the thoughts, 

41
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:35,450
gently bring your awareness back
to the sounds. 

42
00:07:46,700 --> 00:08:07,440
Just noticing and listening. 
Now for a moment or two, let 

43
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,640
your awareness go where it wants
to go. 

44
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:32,159
Take this verse with you. 
Even as you grow old and your 

45
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,200
hair turns Gray. 
I'll keep carrying you. 

46
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,560
When it feels natural, bring 
your awareness back to the room,

47
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,080
just noticing the room with a 
gentle appreciation. 

48
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,200
And when you're ready, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

49
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,240
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

50
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
