1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,000
One of the greatest joys in life
is being truly seen by someone. 

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,600
Whether it's a spouse, a friend,
or a family member, there's 

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,800
something special when someone 
has seen all of your dark parts 

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,480
and they love you anyway. 
They see you fully and they love

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
you. 
It's a rare thing. 

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,040
We forget that this is the way 
God looks at us all of the time.

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,120
His love invites you to come as 
you are. 

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,360
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:48,080
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:56,720
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

11
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,040
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

12
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Lord, you know everything there 
is to know about me. 

13
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:26,280
And again, Lord, you know 
everything there is to know 

14
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:45,280
about me. 
Now bring your attention to the 

15
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:53,680
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

16
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:08,039
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

17
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:19,600
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

18
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:32,620
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

19
00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:36,220
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

20
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,640
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

21
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,600
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

22
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:22,390
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

23
00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:28,710
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

24
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:43,400
drift. 
As best you can, leave those 

25
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,600
thoughts right where they are 
and come back to that feeling of

26
00:03:49,600 --> 00:04:03,070
your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

27
00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:08,110
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

28
00:04:12,590 --> 00:04:18,279
There isn't anything to 
discover, it's always been 

29
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:28,070
there. 
This is a safe place. 

30
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:49,460
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease. 

31
00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:55,380
Bring your awareness to rest on 
your breath. 

32
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,560
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale. 

33
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:26,100
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

34
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,520
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

35
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:07,980
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

36
00:06:07,980 --> 00:06:26,170
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

37
00:06:26,170 --> 00:06:31,730
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

38
00:06:31,730 --> 00:06:43,080
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

39
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:52,410
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

40
00:06:53,250 --> 00:07:05,640
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

41
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:18,840
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

42
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:36,310
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

43
00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:41,150
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

44
00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:57,650
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

45
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Take this verse with you, Lord, 
You know everything there is to 

46
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:37,770
know about Me. 
Gently bring your awareness back

47
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:47,130
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

48
00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:52,960
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

49
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:00,320
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

50
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,880
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
