1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,160
By reconnecting with God on a 
daily basis, you're allowing Him

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:12,320
to transform you day by day. 
It builds from one day to the 

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,000
next. 
There are moments in meditation 

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,840
where you may have a great 
breakthrough, but it's the day 

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,240
by day practice that makes all 
the difference. 

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Keep meditating. 
Keep dyeing the cloth a deeper 

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:40,120
color. 
Let's begin by allowing the body

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:51,360
to become heavy, and as you 
begin to relax, allow your eyes 

9
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:59,640
to close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

10
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,959
this verse. 
Our physical body is becoming 

11
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:13,080
older and weaker, but our spirit
inside us is made new every day.

12
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:28,270
And again, our physical body is 
becoming older and weaker, but 

13
00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:32,310
our spirit inside us is made new
every day. 

14
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Now bring your awareness to the 
feeling of the body. 

15
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:04,740
Maybe there's some muscle 
tightness or stress lingering in

16
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:15,830
the body. 
Slowly bring your attention to 

17
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:22,870
those areas of tightness and 
relax them piece by piece. 

18
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,360
Feel the weight of your body in 
the chair. 

19
00:02:43,870 --> 00:02:50,750
As your body begins to relax, 
allow your mind to let go. 

20
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:59,350
Give yourself permission to 
start fresh. 

21
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,600
What is done is done. 
All you have is this moment. 

22
00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:30,650
This is a safe place. 
Release your thoughts to God. 

23
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:56,720
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths, inhale,

24
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:05,680
feel the chest rise, and exhale,
feel the chest fall. 

25
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:23,560
There's no way to do this wrong.
If the thoughts take you away, 

26
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,880
that's OK. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

27
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,280
your awareness back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

28
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,920
With a gentle ease, let's go 
ahead and take a nice deep 

29
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:11,470
breath. 
Notice how good it feels just to

30
00:05:11,470 --> 00:05:24,790
breathe. 
Allow your inhales to fill the 

31
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:38,760
body up and then totally relax 
the body on the exhale. 

32
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,200
Notice how your breath changes 
the way your body feels, 

33
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:10,860
and on your next inhale, begin 
to count the breath. 

34
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:22,300
One on the inhale and two. 
On the exhale, three. 

35
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:32,240
On the next inhale and four on 
the next exhale, counting up to 

36
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:41,520
10 and then starting over again.
If you lose track of the breath,

37
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,080
it's OK, just start over again. 
Counting from 1:00. 

38
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,600
There is nowhere to go, nowhere 
to be. 

39
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,440
We are just here, counting the 
breath 

40
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:44,430
on the next exhale. 
Allow the breath to relax and 

41
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:59,960
become natural. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

42
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:19,540
let your mind relax. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:27,540
Our physical body is becoming 
older and weaker, but our spirit

44
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:50,320
inside us is made new every day.
When it feels natural, bring 

45
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,400
your awareness back to the room,
just noticing the room with a 

46
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,320
gentle appreciation. 
And when you're ready, allow 

47
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,120
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

48
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,240
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

49
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,360
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

50
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,760
another day of hope.
