1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,080
When you share in each other's 
troubles, you help to carry each

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,040
other's burdens. 
We're meant to bring comfort and

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:13,760
love to each other. 
We're blessed by blessing 

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,040
others. 
We're healed by helping to heal 

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,440
others. 
By consciously loving others, we

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:30,680
discover that we are loved. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,800
started by taking a moment to 
notice your breath. 

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Just the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,600
And when you're ready, let your 
eyes close like the sunsets. 

10
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

11
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,280
The person who loves others has 
done all that the law commands. 

12
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:24,790
And again, the person who loves 
others has done all that the law

13
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:44,320
commands. 
Now bring your attention to your

14
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,360
breath. 
Just a soft, easy awareness. 

15
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Notice what it feels like as air
passes in through the nose and 

16
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:20,000
then back out through the mouth.
Let the breath bring life to 

17
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:37,160
your body. 
Begin to listen to the sound of 

18
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:46,560
your breath, listening to the 
inhale and the exhale. 

19
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:07,040
On the next exhale, allow the 
breath to relax and become 

20
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:23,000
natural. 
Allow your breath to bring 

21
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,640
renewal to your body. 
You're making space to notice 

22
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:48,360
God's presence in your life. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

23
00:03:48,360 --> 00:04:08,920
your attention to the heartbeat.
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

24
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,480
to enter every part of your 
body. 

25
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Feel the presence of God in this
space. 

26
00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:56,100
Gently bring your awareness to 
any sensations you're feeling. 

27
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:11,950
Just noticing the sensations on 
the body. 

28
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Maybe it's the air on the skin 
or the weight of the body in the

29
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:48,030
chair 
just noticing and welcoming 

30
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:52,030
these sensations as part of the 
meditation. 

31
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,640
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

32
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,480
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body. 

33
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:42,440
The inhales expanding the body 
and filling it up with life, and

34
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,360
the exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

35
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:08,300
You don't have to do anything. 
It's natural and effortless. 

36
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:22,060
Your body knows how to relax. 
You are simply unearthing the 

37
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:40,020
calm that was already there. 
This is a safe place of love and

38
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:56,010
deep rest. 
Allow your mind to take refuge 

39
00:07:56,170 --> 00:08:12,560
in God. 
Take this verse with you. 

40
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,480
The person who loves others has 
done all that the law commands. 

41
00:08:32,890 --> 00:08:38,210
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

42
00:08:38,890 --> 00:08:44,049
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

43
00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:52,360
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

44
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,680
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

45
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,560
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

46
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,560
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

47
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:10,040
prayer.
