1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,240
Take a moment to notice what 
makes you happy. 

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Notice that often what makes you
happy is in the future, or that 

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,720
it's something that if only you 
had that, then you'd be happy. 

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,320
But The funny thing is, joy can 
only be experienced in the 

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,680
present. 
As long as happiness is 

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:37,840
somewhere else, it will never be
where you are today, right now. 

7
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,320
Allow yourself to find joy in 
this practice and in your life 

8
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,600
as it is, because it won't be 
found anywhere else. 

9
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Let's begin by loosening the 
shoulders and the chest, and 

10
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,760
when you feel ready, just allow 
the eyes to slowly close. 

11
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

12
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,000
We know that God is always at 
work for the good of everyone 

13
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:35,520
who loves Him. 
Again, we know that God is 

14
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,120
always at work for the good of 
everyone who loves Him. 

15
00:01:55,460 --> 00:02:01,020
Now begin to soften the body and
pay attention to the breath. 

16
00:02:09,009 --> 00:02:14,530
Now take a deep breath until the
air reaches the top of the chest

17
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:37,570
and then slowly exhale 
and again let your inhale be 

18
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:47,530
slow and expansive and then 
exhale, following the breath 

19
00:02:47,650 --> 00:03:04,320
back out. 
Allow your breath to settle and 

20
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:19,770
become natural. 
Bring your attention to any 

21
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:33,010
sounds in the room. 
Maybe the room is quiet or maybe

22
00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:37,090
it's not. 
Both are OK. 

23
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:48,540
Just notice the sounds and 
accept them as they are. 

24
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,280
You're right where you need to 
be 

25
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,360
in this moment. 
Everything is OK. 

26
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:34,080
God loves you. 
This is a place of rest and 

27
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:46,070
safety. 
Simply let go. 

28
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Gradually and with ease, bring 
your awareness to rest on your 

29
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:17,530
breath. 
Feel the body rise with each 

30
00:05:17,570 --> 00:05:27,370
inhale and then allow your 
awareness to rest in a little 

31
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:48,840
more with each exhale. 
Notice how with each breath the 

32
00:05:48,840 --> 00:06:07,020
body feels a little calmer. 
Begin to notice the space around

33
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:16,560
the body. 
Feel the contact of the body on 

34
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,920
the chair and your feet on the 
floor. 

35
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,560
When you feel comfortable, begin
to scan the entire body to build

36
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,880
up a picture of what the body 
feels like. 

37
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,920
Piece by piece. 
Release any areas of tension. 

38
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,040
Let go of your stress. 
Let go of your anxiety. 

39
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,840
You are exactly where you're 
meant to be. 

40
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:24,260
Allow that natural rhythm of the
breath to relax you. 

41
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:43,420
Let your breath guide you to a 
place of safety in the presence 

42
00:07:43,540 --> 00:08:08,880
of God. 
You are accepted here. 

43
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:27,040
You are loved. 
Take this verse with you. 

44
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,440
We know that God is always at 
work for the good of everyone 

45
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:50,360
who loves Him. 
Slowly begin to bring your 

46
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:58,160
awareness back to the body. 
Maybe even move your fingers and

47
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,760
toes a little bit. 
When it feels natural, allow 

48
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,240
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take another big deep breath in 

49
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,720
and let it out with a sigh. 
Notice how you feel. 

50
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,480
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,920
We'll see you again to Morrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

52
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,440
prayer.
