1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,360
Throughout the day, your brain 
is being bombarded with thoughts

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,240
and emotions, and it's easy to 
get lost in them. 

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,720
But these endless thoughts can 
only pull you out of the present

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:22,960
moment and 'cause you stress, 
when you meditate, you're taking

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,920
the time to reconnect to the 
most true version of yourself. 

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:40,000
No one to impress, no decisions 
to be made, just who you are in 

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:49,470
your heart. 
As you meditate today, allow 

8
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:54,790
yourself to leave those thoughts
and come back to who you are. 

9
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Let's start by taking a few nice
deep breaths. 

10
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,960
As your breath begins to relax 
your body, allow your eyes to 

11
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:27,200
close like the sunsets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

12
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,000
this verse. 
Don't worry about anything, 

13
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,440
Instead pray about everything. 
Tell God what you need and thank

14
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:53,850
Him for all He has done. 
And again, don't worry about 

15
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:58,450
anything, Instead, pray about 
everything. 

16
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:04,440
Tell God what you need and thank
Him for all He has done. 

17
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,080
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths in 

18
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:36,380
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

19
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:46,860
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

20
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

21
00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:14,300
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

22
00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:24,850
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

23
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:30,250
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

24
00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:40,530
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

25
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:54,030
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body 

26
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:59,670
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

27
00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:10,160
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

28
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:17,399
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

29
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:31,120
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

30
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

31
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,160
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

32
00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:03,550
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

33
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,600
Gradually and with ease, bring 
your awareness to rest on your 

34
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:38,520
breath. 
Feel the body rise with each 

35
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:49,360
inhale and then allow your 
awareness to rest in a little 

36
00:05:49,360 --> 00:06:08,320
more with each exhale. 
Notice how with each breath the 

37
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:26,480
body feels a little calmer. 
Begin to notice the space around

38
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:38,030
the body. 
Feel the contact of the body on 

39
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:42,390
the chair and your feet on the 
floor. 

40
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:04,000
When you feel comfortable, begin
to scan the entire body to build

41
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,320
up a picture of what the body 
feels like. 

42
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Piece by piece, release any 
areas of tension. 

43
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Let go of your stress, Let go of
your anxiety. 

44
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,320
You are exactly where you're 
meant to be. 

45
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:51,730
Allow that natural rhythm of the
breath to relax you. 

46
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Let your breath guide you to a 
place of safety in the presence 

47
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:28,890
of God. 
You are accepted here. 

48
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:48,040
You are loved. 
Take this verse with you. 

49
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:56,480
Don't worry about anything. 
Instead, pray about everything, 

50
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,440
tell God what you need, and 
thank Him for all He has done. 

51
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

52
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,760
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

53
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

54
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,760
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

55
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,840
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

56
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,960
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

57
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,080
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
