1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,160
Some of the most profound truths
in life are the things that are 

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,280
so commonplace to us that we 
forget their importance. 

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,160
I think being kind to one 
another is one of those things. 

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,880
We forget that everyone on earth
is a person that Jesus deeply 

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,960
loves. 
I hope that as you rest with 

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,520
this meditation, you can become 
aware of the kindness and love 

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,560
Jesus shares with you so you can
go out and share it with others.

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:46,640
OK, let's begin by consciously 
relaxing the body, and when 

9
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:57,280
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close as your body begins

10
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,000
to settle. 
Take a moment to consider this 

11
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,080
verse. 
Love is gentle and consistently 

12
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,320
kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous when 

13
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:28,230
blessing comes to someone else. 
And again, love is gentle and 

14
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:35,160
consistently kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous when 

15
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:56,400
blessing comes to someone else. 
Gently bring your awareness to 

16
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:06,280
any sensations you're feeling. 
Just noticing the sensations on 

17
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,910
the body. 
Maybe it's the air on the skin 

18
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:27,640
or the weight of the body in the
chair just noticing and 

19
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,520
welcoming these sensations as 
part of the meditation. 

20
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:47,140
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

21
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:06,580
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body, the 

22
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:15,600
inhales expanding the body and 
filling it up with life, and the

23
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,360
exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

24
00:03:33,790 --> 00:03:40,150
Follow the breath as it comes in
through the nose and then goes 

25
00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:54,600
back out through the mouth. 
You don't have to do anything. 

26
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,800
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

27
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,040
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

28
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:25,520
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

29
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,040
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

30
00:04:56,340 --> 00:05:02,300
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

31
00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:23,400
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

32
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:35,360
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

33
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,240
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

34
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:59,670
your surroundings. 
Feel the chair beneath you, pay 

35
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:02,510
attention to the position of 
your body. 

36
00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:06,270
Make sure that you're 
comfortable. 

37
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:26,840
Notice the state of your mind. 
Does the mind feel calm? 

38
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,520
Does it feel restless? 
Both are OK, 

39
00:06:45,850 --> 00:07:05,880
just a simple easy noticing. 
Just noticing the space, almost 

40
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:23,520
like you're an observer. 
Notice the gentle sound of your 

41
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:42,430
breath coming in and going out, 
deepening the inhales and 

42
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:48,470
extending the exhales, letting 
the body rest. 

43
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Just relax. 
Take this verse with you. 

44
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Love is gentle and consistently 
kind to all. 

45
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,720
It refuses to be jealous when 
blessing comes to someone else. 

46
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:56,000
When you feel ready, slowly 
bring your awareness back to the

47
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,240
breath and allow your eyes to 
open. 

48
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Take a few deep breaths in 
through the nose and out through

49
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,120
the mouth. 
Notice how you feel. 

50
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,880
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:25,560
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

52
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,040
prayer.
