1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:12,960 Let's start by taking a few nice deep breaths and when you're 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,280 ready, allow your eyes to slowly close like the sunsets. 3 00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:32,549 As your breath begins to relax your body, allow your awareness 4 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:36,150 to rest with this verse and prayer. 5 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,920 Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, 6 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:55,800 whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, 7 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,400 if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such 8 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:17,720 things. And again, whatever is true, 9 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,400 whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, 10 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,360 whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is 11 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,960 excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. 12 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,720 Now bring your attention to the way the body feels. 13 00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:18,170 Notice your breath. Allow the inhales to expand the 14 00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:26,370 body. Notice how the exhales make you 15 00:02:26,370 --> 00:02:44,600 feel. Feel the body relax and become 16 00:02:44,600 --> 00:03:04,720 heavier. Relax the corners of the eyes. 17 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,360 Soften the forehead down the front of the face. 18 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,760 Allow the neck to relax and the shoulders to fall away from the 19 00:03:47,760 --> 00:04:04,320 ears. Relax the temples. 20 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,040 Feel the weight of the body so the arms become heavy. 21 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:44,400 The legs are becoming heavy. Feel the bones become heavy. 22 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Letting the breath become natural, 23 00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:29,290 allow the whole body to soften and release. 24 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Gently bring the awareness to the breath. 25 00:06:07,570 --> 00:06:12,850 Allow your breath to deepen and fill the lungs. 26 00:06:20,210 --> 00:06:29,490 Take a nice big deep breath in. Now slow down on the exhale, 27 00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:39,080 letting go. Let the inhale come easily and 28 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:50,560 effortlessly and exhale, controlling the breath, slowing 29 00:06:50,560 --> 00:07:09,080 it down. Give yourself some space just to 30 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:22,620 be whatever you need to let go of. 31 00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:28,340 Let it go. Release it to God. 32 00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:34,180 Allow this time to be what you need it to be. 33 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,200 And if the thoughts take you away, know that that's OK. 34 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:06,840 When it feels natural and effortless, slowly bring your 35 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:34,000 attention back to the breath. Remember, this is a place of 36 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,360 safety. God's calming presence is always 37 00:08:42,360 --> 00:09:01,470 accessible to you. Release your anxieties and let 38 00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:17,000 God handle what you cannot. Notice how the body is relaxing 39 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:35,970 and releasing. Now begin to soften the back of 40 00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:45,790 your neck. Allow your limbs to become 41 00:09:45,790 --> 00:09:57,990 heavy. Allow the shoulders to relax. 42 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:30,500 Let your mind rest just noticing and appreciating this moment. 43 00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:56,780 Take this verse with you. Whatever is true, whatever is 44 00:10:56,780 --> 00:11:05,920 noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is 45 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:13,360 lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or 46 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,960 praiseworthy, think about such things. 47 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:30,870 God, I know you're always with me. 48 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:35,670 Thank you for all of your blessings. 49 00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:42,550 Help me to relax and let go in your presence. 50 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,120 I trust your plan for my life.
