1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,560
So much of our existence is 
focused on satisfying the self, 

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,640
but the truth is that part of us
is never really satisfied. 

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,480
It's always trying to occupy 
more. 

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:23,880
When we chase the self, we'll 
always be left short and wanting

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:29,720
more. 
But when you relax and accept 

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,640
things as they are, God can move
in your life. 

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,880
It's almost as if letting go 
allows God to give you what you 

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,040
could have never received on 
your own. 

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Let go allow God to do for you 
what you can't do for yourself. 

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Let's begin by noticing the 
weight of the body, allowing the

11
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:15,320
body to relax into the chair, 
and as the body begins to relax,

12
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:25,680
allow your eyes to close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

13
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,200
verse. 
This is my commandment, Love 

14
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,400
each other in the same way I 
have loved you. 

15
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:50,010
And again, this is my 
commandment. 

16
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:55,850
Love each other in the same way 
I have loved you. 

17
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,520
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

18
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:27,490
you. 
Not engaging with your feelings,

19
00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:41,390
just noticing them. 
Almost like you're observing 

20
00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:45,790
your emotions and then letting 
them go. 

21
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Just like loosening your grip, 
you're letting go of those 

22
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:13,600
feelings. 
Let God handle whatever is out 

23
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:26,280
of your control. 
This is a place of acceptance 

24
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:35,120
and safety. 
You can always find rest in God.

25
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Now begin to notice how your 
body feels. 

26
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:59,640
When it feels comfortable, begin
to consciously relax the body, 

27
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:10,430
scanning down from your head to 
your toes. 

28
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:15,590
Release any areas of tension in 
the body. 

29
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Surrender all of your stress and
all of your responsibilities and

30
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:52,470
just let your mind rest. 
You are safe. 

31
00:04:54,070 --> 00:05:18,360
God is looking out for you. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

32
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,600
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

33
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:45,420
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

34
00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:48,820
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

35
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly, and then exhale, 

36
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:25,530
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

37
00:06:25,530 --> 00:06:34,330
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

38
00:06:34,330 --> 00:06:41,840
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

39
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,360
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

40
00:06:58,370 --> 00:07:03,090
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

41
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

42
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:34,280
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

43
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:52,520
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

44
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,520
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

45
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:05,080
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

46
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:23,400
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

47
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:42,320
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

48
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:51,800
This is my commandment. 
Love each other in the same way 

49
00:08:52,200 --> 00:09:09,920
I have loved you. 
When it feels easy, bring your 

50
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,760
attention back to the feeling of
the breath. 

51
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:22,360
Take a few more deep breaths and
slowly allow your eyes to open. 

52
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Notice how the breath changes 
the way you feel. 

53
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,320
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

54
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,920
We'll see you again tomorrow. 
Take care of yourself.
