1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:10,720
Let's begin by loosening the 
shoulders and the chest, and 

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:18,120
when you feel ready, just allow 
the eyes to slowly close. 

3
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:29,260
Bring your awareness to rest 
with this verse and prayer. 

4
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,960
If you help the poor, you are 
lending to the Lord, and He will

5
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:53,070
repay you. 
Again, if you help the poor, you

6
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:58,350
are lending to the Lord and He 
will repay you. 

7
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Now bring your awareness to the 
space around the body. 

8
00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:27,170
Notice any sensations on the 
skin. 

9
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:44,560
Feel the clothes on the skin. 
Feel the temperature of the 

10
00:01:44,560 --> 00:02:02,680
room. 
Listen to the sounds in the room

11
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:32,640
with a nice easy focus. 
Begin to gently notice the 

12
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:47,700
breath. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

13
00:02:47,700 --> 00:03:00,450
the breath, the air moving in 
and the air moving out. 

14
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:11,550
Without even having to think 
about it. 

15
00:03:12,230 --> 00:03:16,990
It just happens. 
The breath breathes itself. 

16
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:38,840
Follow the breath in through the
nostrils and into the chest and 

17
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:46,640
the abdomen. 
Follow the breath back out. 

18
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Feel the inhale and relax. 
Allow the exhale and let go. 

19
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

20
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:51,940
you in the body. 
Not placing judgement on the 

21
00:04:51,940 --> 00:05:03,700
feelings or engaging with them, 
just noticing them, taking note 

22
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:08,060
of the emotions and then letting
them go. 

23
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:40,240
Begin to notice that deeper 
sense of calm beneath those 

24
00:05:40,240 --> 00:06:05,600
emotions. 
Maybe even begin to visualize a 

25
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:13,600
place that feels safe, a place 
where you feel loved and taken 

26
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:35,160
care of. 
This is a place of safety and 

27
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:46,270
acceptance. 
God loves you and wants you to 

28
00:06:46,270 --> 00:06:53,390
feel loved. 
He wants you to feel a sense of 

29
00:06:53,390 --> 00:07:13,960
security in Him. 
In this place of safety, begin 

30
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:26,930
to notice how your body feels, 
consciously relaxing the body 

31
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:32,210
and allowing God's presence to 
calm your mind. 

32
00:07:53,040 --> 00:08:00,160
For a moment or two, relax and 
notice how you feel in this 

33
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:21,230
place. 
If the mind wanders off, that's 

34
00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:27,830
OK. 
When it feels natural, bring 

35
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:34,190
your awareness back to this 
place of love and safety. 

36
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Surrendering all of your worried
thoughts, your stresses, and 

37
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,320
maybe even your 
responsibilities. 

38
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:11,840
Just relaxing and releasing. 
Letting go. 

39
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Allow your awareness to rest 
with the presence of God. 

40
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:10,280
Take this verse with you. 
If you help the poor, you are 

41
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,320
lending to the Lord and He will 
repay you. 

42
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,480
God, I know you're always with 
me. 

43
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

44
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,200
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

45
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720
I trust your plan for my life.
