1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,920
To live in the present moment is
to live without judgement. 

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,000
Living without judgement means 
acknowledging that we don't 

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,720
always know what's best. 
It requires trust in God and His

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,360
plan for your life. 
Things may not have gone as you 

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,360
expected, and that's OK because 
God's looking out for you. 

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:34,560
Go ahead and get comfortable in 
your position, really allowing 

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:43,160
the body to relax. 
And when you feel ready, let 

8
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:53,920
your eyes slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,160
this verse. 
You, Lord God, are my mighty 

10
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,000
rock and my fortress. 
Lead me and guide me. 

11
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:20,970
And again, you, Lord God, are my
mighty rock and my fortress. 

12
00:01:22,130 --> 00:01:43,720
Lead me and guide me. 
Now bring your attention to the 

13
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,840
way the breath feels and take a 
few deep breaths. 

14
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:06,290
Gently expand the chest on the 
inhale and then let the body 

15
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:21,680
soften on the exhale. 
With each breath, there's new 

16
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:38,200
life entering the body. 
As you breathe, begin to soften 

17
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,880
the body, starting at the top of
the head. 

18
00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:52,930
Allow the shoulders to fall away
from the ears. 

19
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:05,610
Feel gravity push the body down 
into the chair. 

20
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the space around the body. 

21
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:38,010
Feel the air on the skin, notice
the temperature of the air, 

22
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:54,980
and now gently move your 
awareness to the heartbeat. 

23
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,920
Allow the rhythm of the 
heartbeat to relax the body. 

24
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:21,450
Let your awareness rest deeper 
in the presence of God. 

25
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:42,140
Simply let go. 
Bring your attention to any 

26
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:54,720
tightness in the body. 
Just noticing how the body 

27
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:11,780
feels. 
Start by relaxing the hands, 

28
00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:17,740
letting go of any tension in the
hands. 

29
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:37,460
Allow the arms to totally relax,
letting go at the elbows and the

30
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:51,280
wrists. 
Let the shoulders fall away from

31
00:05:51,280 --> 00:06:03,280
the ears. 
Let the legs become heavy. 

32
00:06:13,630 --> 00:06:17,790
Allow the muscles to completely 
let go. 

33
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:32,330
Let your body totally relax and 
release. 

34
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,360
And now, if it feels 
comfortable, take a big deep 

35
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,160
breath, letting the air fill up 
the body. 

36
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:16,610
Feel the chest rise on the 
inhale and fall on the exhale. 

37
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,840
Notice how the breath changes 
the way the body feels. 

38
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:53,660
And now, for a moment or two, 
let go of any focus and just 

39
00:07:53,660 --> 00:08:11,320
allow yourself to be. 
Take this verse with you. 

40
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,920
You, Lord God, are my mighty 
rock and my fortress. 

41
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:40,919
Lead me and guide me. 
Softly begin to bring your 

42
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:47,600
awareness back to the body, back
to that feeling of weight in the

43
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,280
body. 
And when you're ready, slowly 

44
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,920
open your eyes and take a big 
deep breath in. 

45
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Take a moment to check in and 
notice how you feel. 

46
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,480
I hope you feel a little more 
present. 

47
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,920
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope. 

48
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,960
Take care.
