1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Like a flower needs water, we 
need God to be able to share and

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,080
spread His love. 
We have to continually immerse 

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:16,600
ourselves in His presence. 
Love grows and thrives when we 

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:23,600
spend time with the one we love.
OK, let's go ahead and get 

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,720
started by getting comfortable 
in your chair, and when you're 

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:41,600
ready, take a few nice deep 
breaths and allow your eyes to 

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:49,080
slowly close. 
As your body begins to settle, 

8
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,760
take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:07,710
Those who find me find life 
again. 

10
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:32,490
Those who find me find life. 
Bring your attention to any 

11
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:35,210
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

12
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:49,480
Not engaging with your feelings,
just noticing them. 

13
00:01:57,310 --> 00:02:03,590
Almost like you're observing 
your emotions and then letting 

14
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:11,910
them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

15
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,750
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

16
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

17
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:46,750
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

18
00:02:49,310 --> 00:03:05,140
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

19
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:15,240
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

20
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:27,950
to consciously relax the body, 
scanning down from your head to 

21
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:33,470
your toes. 
Release any areas of tension in 

22
00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:49,040
the body. 
Surrender all of your stress and

23
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,520
all of your responsibilities and
just let your mind rest. 

24
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:14,430
You are safe. 
God is looking out for you. 

25
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

26
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

27
00:04:53,970 --> 00:05:01,610
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

28
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:17,880
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

29
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:26,320
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

30
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:46,020
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

31
00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:56,290
This is all that matters right 
now. 

32
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,840
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

33
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:25,900
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

34
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:34,420
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

35
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:40,560
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

36
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:56,640
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

37
00:07:09,550 --> 00:07:14,110
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

38
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:19,670
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

39
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,520
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

40
00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:45,090
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

41
00:07:59,050 --> 00:08:07,410
Take this verse with you. 
Those who find me find life. 

42
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

43
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:35,400
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

44
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,679
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

45
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,240
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

46
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
