1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,440
Concentrating your attention on 
a single thing is powerful. 

2
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,520
Whether that's getting into a 
flow state at work or listening 

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,920
and communicating with your 
partner, bringing your full 

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,600
attention to something is 
powerful. 

5
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:33,870
Today, as you meditate, focus on
Jesus's love for you. 

6
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:41,680
Know that you are seen and Jesus
is always with you. 

7
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:56,450
Let's begin by noticing the 
weight of the body, allowing the

8
00:00:56,450 --> 00:01:07,330
body to relax into the chair. 
And as the body begins to relax,

9
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:17,640
allow your eyes to close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:24,440
verse. 
For God so loved the world that 

11
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,680
He gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in Him 

12
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,480
shall not perish, but have 
eternal life. 

13
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:49,360
And again, for God so loved the 
world that he gave his one and 

14
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,080
only Son, that whoever believes 
in him shall not perish, but 

15
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:13,150
have eternal life. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

16
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:20,350
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

17
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:32,160
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

18
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,600
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

19
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:51,030
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly and then exhale, 

20
00:02:52,030 --> 00:03:02,240
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

21
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:11,040
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

22
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,560
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

23
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,080
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

24
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

25
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:55,460
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

26
00:03:55,460 --> 00:04:11,030
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

27
00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:27,240
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

28
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,280
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

29
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:39,840
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

30
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:51,110
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

31
00:04:51,110 --> 00:05:15,360
loving presence of God. 
With a gentle curiosity, begin 

32
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:33,390
to notice the breath. 
Make the breath deep and full of

33
00:05:33,390 --> 00:05:39,390
life. 
Allow that fresh air to fill up 

34
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:45,430
the lungs and then relax the 
body as you exhale. 

35
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,200
Let your body become heavy as 
your mind continues to relax. 

36
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,280
You are exactly where you need 
to be. 

37
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:43,600
And now come to the heartbeat. 
Maybe even listen for its 

38
00:06:43,600 --> 00:07:00,640
rhythm, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

39
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:16,260
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

40
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:23,880
When it's easy, bring your 
awareness back to the heartbeat.

41
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:43,900
Just listen to your heartbeat 
and the gentle sound of your 

42
00:07:43,900 --> 00:08:00,320
breath. 
Let your breath act as an anchor

43
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,160
to this moment and this 
practice. 

44
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:23,880
With each breath, allow yourself
to rest further into the calm of

45
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:41,030
God's love. 
Take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:43,830 --> 00:08:49,230
For God so loved the world that 
he gave his one and only Son, 

47
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:55,270
that whoever believes in him 
shall not perish, but have 

48
00:08:55,270 --> 00:09:13,360
eternal life. 
When it feels natural, bring 

49
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,400
your awareness back to the room,
just noticing the room with a 

50
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,320
gentle appreciation. 
And when you're ready, allow 

51
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,120
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

52
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,240
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

53
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,440
relaxed. 
We'll see you again to Morrow 

54
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,760
for another day of hope.
