1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,440
Nature and the universe is all 
part of God's plan. 

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,080
It's a masterpiece spanning all 
time and space. 

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600
And at the center of this plan 
is you. 

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,320
You are what occupies God's 
heart. 

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,760
His love for you is eternal. 
As you meditate today, let that 

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,680
amazing truth fill your heart 
and bring your soul new life. 

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,640
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

8
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:51,320
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

9
00:00:51,320 --> 00:01:00,080
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

10
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:10,240
As your body begins to settle, 
take a moment to consider this 

11
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,440
verse. 
The heavens declare the glory of

12
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,440
God. 
The skies proclaim the work of 

13
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:32,760
His hands. 
And again, the heavens declare 

14
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,400
the glory of God, the skies 
proclaim the work of His hands. 

15
00:01:54,790 --> 00:01:59,830
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

16
00:02:02,430 --> 00:02:07,310
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

17
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

18
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:30,610
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

19
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:39,130
effortlessly and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

20
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

21
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040
This is all that matters right 
now. 

22
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

23
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:24,120
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

24
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:37,160
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

25
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:43,280
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

26
00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:59,930
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

27
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

28
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,920
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

29
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,760
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

30
00:04:33,610 --> 00:04:39,330
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

31
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,200
With a gentle curiosity, begin 
to notice the breath. 

32
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,700
Make the breath deep and full of
life. 

33
00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:26,060
Allow that fresh air to fill up 
the lungs and then relax the 

34
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:47,440
body as you exhale. 
Let your body become heavy as 

35
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:55,400
your mind continues to relax. 
You are exactly where you need 

36
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:13,320
to be. 
And now come to the heartbeat. 

37
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,000
Maybe even listen for its 
rhythm. 

38
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:53,630
Just relaxing and releasing. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

39
00:06:55,110 --> 00:07:00,830
that's OK. 
When it's easy, bring your 

40
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:18,880
awareness back to the heartbeat.
Just listen to your heartbeat 

41
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640
and the gentle sound of your 
breath. 

42
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:44,990
Let your breath act as an anchor
to this moment and this 

43
00:07:44,990 --> 00:08:04,040
practice. 
With each breath, allow yourself

44
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,240
to rest further into the calm of
God's love. 

45
00:08:24,810 --> 00:08:31,690
Take this verse with you. 
The heavens declare the glory of

46
00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:36,330
God. 
The skies proclaim the work of 

47
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:52,920
His hands. 
Gently bring your awareness back

48
00:08:52,920 --> 00:09:02,280
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

49
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,120
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

50
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,440
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

51
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,040
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
