1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,680
We are made for connection. 
God designed the desire for 

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,800
connection into the fabric of 
our soul. 

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,480
While connection with others is 
great, remember you are never 

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,920
alone. 
Your connection with God is a 

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,000
tangible thing, and it only gets
stronger the more time you spend

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,320
with Him. 
Allow yourself to rest in that 

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:39,120
knowledge as you meditate today.
Let's begin by allowing the body

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:50,360
to become heavy, and as you 
begin to relax, allow your eyes 

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:58,640
to close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

10
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,519
this verse. 
For the Lord your God is living 

11
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:17,150
among you. 
And again, for the Lord your God

12
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:39,280
is living among you. 
Bring your attention to any 

13
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,000
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

14
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Not engaging with your feelings,
just noticing them. 

15
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:10,350
Almost like you're observing 
your emotions and then letting 

16
00:02:10,350 --> 00:02:18,640
them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

17
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

18
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:39,900
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

19
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:53,460
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

20
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:11,880
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

21
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:21,960
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

22
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:34,660
to consciously relax the body, 
scanning down from your head to 

23
00:03:34,660 --> 00:03:40,180
your toes. 
Release any areas of tension in 

24
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:55,800
the body. 
Surrender all of your stress and

25
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:02,240
all of your responsibilities and
just let your mind rest. 

26
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:21,170
You are safe. 
God is looking out for you. 

27
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

28
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

29
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:13,350
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

30
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:29,640
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

31
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:38,080
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

32
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:51,730
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

33
00:05:56,770 --> 00:06:00,010
This is all that matters right 
now. 

34
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

35
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:27,120
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

36
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:40,160
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

37
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,280
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

38
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

39
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

40
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

41
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,800
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

42
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

43
00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:13,110
Take this verse with you, for 
the Lord your God is living 

44
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:34,559
among you. 
When it feels easy, bring your 

45
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,400
attention back to the feeling of
the breath. 

46
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:47,000
Take a few more deep breaths and
slowly allow your eyes to open. 

47
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,520
Notice how the breath changes 
the way you feel. 

48
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,920
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

49
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,520
We'll see you again tomorrow. 
Take care of yourself.
