1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,680
When you meditate on the life of
Jesus, you can feel your heart 

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,840
becoming more like His. 
You can discover a peace and 

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,800
tranquility that was not there 
before. 

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,760
You can release your worries and
your fears. 

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,080
Your soul finds rest in the 
soothing tranquility of God's 

6
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:29,480
love. 
Remind yourself of that as you 

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:36,320
meditate today. 
When you feel ready, go ahead 

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,120
and get comfortable in your 
position, really allowing the 

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:51,240
body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

10
00:00:51,240 --> 00:01:00,160
eyes slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,000
verse. 
He will feed his flock like a 

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,280
shepherd. 
He will carry the lambs in his 

13
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,000
arms, holding them close to his 
heart. 

14
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:26,430
And again, he will feed his 
flock like a shepherd. 

15
00:01:28,150 --> 00:01:33,150
He will carry the lambs in his 
arms, holding them close to his 

16
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:53,360
heart. 
Now bring your attention to the 

17
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:08,840
way it feels when you breathe. 
Feel the stomach and the chest 

18
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:20,680
rise with each inhale and feel 
the body relax with each exhale.

19
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:44,840
In through the nose, feel the 
body expand and then slowly 

20
00:02:45,440 --> 00:03:04,210
exhale. 
Let the breath be natural. 

21
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:10,410
Let the breath naturally relax 
the body. 

22
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Allow the face and the neck to 
soften. 

23
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:46,260
Allow the forehead to relax and 
the shoulders to fall away from 

24
00:03:46,260 --> 00:04:01,010
the ears. 
Relax the body and allow the 

25
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:20,360
chair to hold the body up. 
Just relaxing and letting the 

26
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:32,920
body unwind. 
Simply let go. 

27
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,840
Now bring your awareness to the 
feeling of the body. 

28
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:13,800
Maybe there's some muscle 
tightness or stress lingering in

29
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:32,840
the body. 
Slowly bring your attention to 

30
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:39,920
those areas of tightness and 
relax them piece by piece. 

31
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Feel the weight of your body in 
the chair. 

32
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:17,780
As your body begins to relax, 
allow your mind to let go. 

33
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:26,380
Give yourself permission to 
start fresh. 

34
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:47,600
What is done is done. 
All you have is this moment. 

35
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:07,690
This is a safe place. 
Release your thoughts to God. 

36
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:28,320
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths. 

37
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:52,580
There's no way to do this wrong.
If the thoughts take you away, 

38
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:59,900
that's OK. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

39
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:04,220
your awareness back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

40
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Take this verse with you. 
He will feed his flock like a 

41
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,480
shepherd. 
He will carry the lambs in his 

42
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,120
arms, holding them close to His 
heart. 

43
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:49,300
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

44
00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:55,140
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

45
00:08:55,140 --> 00:09:03,520
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

46
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

47
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,720
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

48
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,680
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

49
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:21,200
prayer.
