1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:06,760
Rest is holy because it allows 
us to reconnect with God and 

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,240
with ourselves. 
It's a place where we can let go

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,920
and stop striving, a place where
we can feel our soul come to 

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,920
life again. 
It heals our mind, body, and 

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,160
spirit. 
Taking this time to meditate. 

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,600
Today you're feeding your soul 
and spirit with the peace that 

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:38,760
comes from God. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,800
comfortable. 
Take a few nice, big, deep 

9
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:55,760
breaths, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

10
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

11
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,040
You should know that you 
yourselves are God's temple. 

12
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:25,580
God's spirit lives in you. 
And again, you should know that 

13
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:32,680
you yourselves are God's temple.
God's Spirit lives in you. 

14
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:55,030
As you relax, allow God's 
presence of peace to wash over 

15
00:01:55,030 --> 00:02:08,330
you. 
Let your breath fill your body 

16
00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:23,520
and relax your muscles. 
As your breath relaxes your 

17
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,200
body, bring your attention to 
the heartbeat, 

18
00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:45,430
just noticing the quiet rhythm 
of your heartbeat. 

19
00:02:53,820 --> 00:03:03,740
Allow that rhythm and stillness 
to calm your mind, to relax your

20
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:18,040
body. 
Let go of any feelings of stress

21
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:31,910
or worry. 
God is taking care of you. 

22
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:54,050
Allow those feelings to go. 
You are safe here. 

23
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,480
And if thoughts take you away, 
that's OK Be easy with the 

24
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,000
thoughts. 
Just remember, you can always 

25
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360
come back to the breath and the 
heartbeat. 

26
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,040
Let yourself relax and allow God
to speak to your heart 

27
00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:57,620
when it feels comfortable. 
Take a few nice deep breaths in 

28
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:09,900
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

29
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

30
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:38,890
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

31
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:54,850
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

32
00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:08,930
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

33
00:06:11,650 --> 00:06:14,290
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

34
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

35
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:50,060
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body, 

36
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:55,700
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

37
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:08,210
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

38
00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:15,400
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

39
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:29,140
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

40
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:40,940
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

41
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:48,180
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

42
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

43
00:08:17,820 --> 00:08:24,580
Take this verse with you. 
You should know that you 

44
00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:31,300
yourselves are God's temple. 
God's Spirit lives in you. 

45
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

46
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,240
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

47
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,520
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

48
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,080
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

49
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,520
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,480
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

51
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,440
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
