1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,960
Our minds are filled with so 
many thoughts in a day, it's no 

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,039
wonder we are always stressed 
out. 

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Today, as you meditate, focus on
letting go. 

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,160
The thoughts will come, but you 
don't have to hold on to them. 

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,840
Let your thoughts pass through 
you. 

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Allow your spirit to rest. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,400
comfortable and taking a few 
nice deep breaths. 

8
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,680
As you begin to feel your body 
releasing, allow your eyes to 

9
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:56,880
slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,520
verse. 
You are my sheep, the sheep of 

11
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:19,580
my pasture, and I am your God. 
And again, you are my sheep, the

12
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,580
sheep of my pasture, and I am 
your God. 

13
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:48,000
Bring your attention to any 
tightness in the body, just 

14
00:01:48,000 --> 00:02:02,200
noticing how the body feels. 
Start by relaxing the hands, 

15
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,160
letting go of any tension in the
hands. 

16
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:23,880
Allow the arms to totally relax,
letting go at the elbows and the

17
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:34,680
wrists. 
Let the shoulders fall away from

18
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:46,700
the ears. 
Let the legs become heavy. 

19
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:58,170
Allow the muscles to completely 
let go. 

20
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Let your body totally relax and 
release. 

21
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:31,220
And now if it feels comfortable,
take a big deep breath, letting 

22
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:41,570
the air fill up the body. 
Feel the chest rise on the 

23
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:59,560
inhale and fall on the exhale. 
Notice how the breath changes 

24
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:16,589
the way the body feels. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

25
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:25,110
let go of any focus and just 
allow yourself to be. 

26
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Now let's take some nice deep 
breaths in through the nose and 

27
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:09,540
out through the mouth, 
just noticing and observing the 

28
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:17,340
breath, watching the rise and 
the fall of the chest. 

29
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

30
00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:56,420
Begin to notice any feelings you
may have brought with you today.

31
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:10,670
Thoughts are a natural part of 
meditation. 

32
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:20,510
Just leave those feelings right 
where they are and then gently 

33
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640
come back to the feeling of the 
breath. 

34
00:06:39,410 --> 00:06:47,210
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 
controlled exhale. 

35
00:06:56,870 --> 00:07:02,470
Allow the breath to calm the 
mind and relax the body. 

36
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:21,200
And now allow your awareness to 
fall and move inward, finding 

37
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:37,590
that place where you feel loved.
Feel that natural peace in God's

38
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:50,920
presence. 
Remember, when you come near to 

39
00:07:50,920 --> 00:08:10,730
God, He will come near to you. 
Take this verse with you. 

40
00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:19,490
You are my sheep, the sheep of 
my pasture, and I am your God. 

41
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,720
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

42
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,560
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

43
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,440
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

44
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

45
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

46
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,200
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

47
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,440
Take care and we'll see you 
again tomorrow with hope, 

48
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,800
mindfulness, and prayer.
