1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,840
When we meditate, we rest our 
minds and just enjoy the 

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,840
experience. 
By creating this space of 

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,320
solitude and quiet, you're 
allowing yourself to experience 

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:20,880
the presence and love of God. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:29,000
started by getting comfortable 
in your chair and when you're 

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:38,880
ready, take a few nice deep 
breaths and allow your eyes to 

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:46,360
slowly close as your body begins
to settle. 

8
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,040
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Truly, my soul finds rest in 
God, my salvation comes from 

10
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:12,630
Him. 
Again, my soul finds rest in 

11
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:17,470
God, my salvation comes from 
Him. 

12
00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:37,170
Now bring your attention to the 
position of the body. 

13
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:46,570
Make sure you can breathe in an 
open and natural way. 

14
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Allow the chest to open and take
a few nice deep breaths. 

15
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,160
Let the breath fill the body up 
with life. 

16
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:25,610
With each breath, you're 
bringing your awareness into 

17
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:39,280
this moment. 
Relax and allow God to speak to 

18
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:54,110
you in the way that He wants. 
Let your thoughts go and allow 

19
00:02:54,110 --> 00:02:57,670
your awareness to rest in this 
moment. 

20
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,720
If your thoughts wander off, 
that's OK. 

21
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760
It's natural for the thoughts to
drift 

22
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,400
as best you can. 
Leave those thoughts right where

23
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,720
they are and come back to that 
feeling of your body. 

24
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Our feelings and emotions can 
distract us from the natural 

25
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:04,800
calm of God's love. 
There isn't anything to 

26
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,120
discover. 
It's always been there. 

27
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:21,060
This is a safe place. 
God loves you. 

28
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Gradually and with ease, bring 
your awareness to rest on your 

29
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:57,150
breath. 
Feel the body rise with each 

30
00:04:57,190 --> 00:05:13,950
inhale. 
Notice how with each breath, the

31
00:05:13,950 --> 00:05:39,120
body feels a little calmer. 
Begin to notice the space around

32
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:54,660
the body. 
Feel the contact of the body on 

33
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:59,020
the chair and your feet on the 
floor. 

34
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:19,660
When you feel comfortable, begin
to scan the entire body to build

35
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:22,980
up a picture of what the body 
feels like. 

36
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Piece by piece, release any 
areas of tension. 

37
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:46,150
Let go of your stress. 
Let go of your anxiety. 

38
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:56,940
You are exactly where you're 
meant to be. 

39
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Allow that natural rhythm of the
breath to relax you. 

40
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:30,540
Let your breath guide you to a 
place of safety in the presence 

41
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:45,040
of God. 
You are accepted here. 

42
00:07:46,320 --> 00:08:04,680
You are loved. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:14,000
My soul finds rest in God. 
My salvation comes from Him. 

44
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:34,799
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

45
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:42,159
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

46
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,440
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

47
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,960
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

48
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,760
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
