1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,720
Praying and being mindful are 
the quickest ways to get from 

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,200
self thoughts to God thoughts. 
Like watching leaves float down 

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:18,280
a river, prayer offers the 
chance to let go and relax, to 

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,480
see things from a different 
perspective. 

5
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Life is not just what happens 
around you, but it's also what 

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:35,200
happens inside of you. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:46,560
comfortable, taking a few nice 
big deep breaths, and when 

8
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,200
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close. 

9
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,040
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,160
God create a pure heart in me 
and make my spirit strong again.

11
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,080
Again. 
God create a pure heart in me 

12
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:47,400
and make my spirit strong again.
Now bring your attention to the 

13
00:01:47,400 --> 00:02:02,860
way it feels when you breathe. 
Feel the stomach and the chest 

14
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:14,700
rise with each inhale and feel 
the body relax with each exhale.

15
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:38,840
In through the nose, feel the 
body expand and then slowly 

16
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:58,190
exhale. 
Let the breath be natural. 

17
00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:04,390
Let the breath naturally relax 
the body. 

18
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Allow the face and the neck to 
soften. 

19
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:40,260
Allow the forehead to relax and 
the shoulders to fall away from 

20
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:55,040
the ears. 
Relax the body and allow the 

21
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:14,360
chair to hold the body up. 
Just relaxing and letting the 

22
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:26,960
body unwind. 
Simply let go 

23
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:48,610
now. 
Take a moment to be grateful for

24
00:04:48,610 --> 00:05:06,240
this opportunity to relax. 
Notice how good it feels just to

25
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:22,760
be here in this moment. 
When it feels natural, begin to 

26
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:37,350
deepen the breath, Let go of 
your worries and focus your 

27
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:50,680
attention on the breath. 
Nothing else matters right now. 

28
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,920
You are here. 
There is nothing to do but 

29
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:13,520
relax. 
Allow your body to honor the 

30
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,520
natural calm given by God's 
presence. 

31
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:34,160
Just listening to the breath, 
noticing the rise and the fall 

32
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:45,570
of the chest. 
Deep breath in, expanding the 

33
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:52,770
body, and then exhale, letting 
your awareness rest. 

34
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Take another deep breath as you 
feel your lungs expand and 

35
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,560
exhale, following the air back 
out through the mouth. 

36
00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:36,620
The thoughts may take you away, 
and that's OK. 

37
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:58,000
With each breath, effortlessly 
rest into the arms of God. 

38
00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:21,490
Take this verse with you God. 
Create a pure heart in me and 

39
00:08:21,490 --> 00:08:42,760
make my spirit strong again. 
Slowly bring your awareness back

40
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:50,120
to the body and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open. 

41
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,680
Take a moment to notice how your
body feels. 

42
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:04,400
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you again tomorrow 

43
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,080
with Hope, Mindfulness and 
prayer. 

44
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Remember, be easy with yourself.
