00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,920
In Japan, there's a tradition of
repairing broken pottery, using 

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:12,800
gold to fill the cracks. 
By getting in touch with God on 

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,160
a regular basis, you're doing 
the same thing. 

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,960
Life can leave you cracked and 
broken, but beauty can come from

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:34,400
broken things. 
God can transform your struggle 

6
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:45,060
into beauty. 
When you feel ready, go ahead 

7
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:51,860
and get comfortable in your 
position, really allowing the 

8
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:59,980
body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

9
00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:08,880
eyes slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,240
verse. 
He heals the broken hearted and 

11
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:30,200
binds up their wounds. 
And again, He heals the broken 

12
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,560
hearted and binds up their 
wounds. 

13
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,960
With a gradual ease, take a nice
big breath. 

14
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Be intentional with the breath. 
Big deep inhales and nice long 

15
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:16,680
exhales. 
Relax and settle into your body 

16
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,440
with each breath. 
Allow the muscles to soften and 

17
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:39,580
let go. 
Feel that sense of gravity and 

18
00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:48,160
weight in the body. 
You're just uncovering the 

19
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,880
natural calm that's always 
accessible through God. 

20
00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:10,060
Now, with ease, bring your 
awareness to the sounds in the 

21
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:20,030
room. 
Just listening to the sounds 

22
00:03:20,350 --> 00:03:29,520
with an easy curiosity, not 
placing judgment on the sounds, 

23
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:36,840
just noticing the sounds and 
accepting them as part of this 

24
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:51,780
practice. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

25
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:56,540
it's OK. 
When you notice the thoughts, 

26
00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:01,940
gently bring your awareness back
to the sounds. 

27
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:32,660
Just noticing and listening 
now for a moment or two. 

28
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:37,580
Let your awareness go where it 
wants to go. 

29
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:55,370
When you feel comfortable, bring
your attention to the feeling of

30
00:04:55,370 --> 00:05:04,840
the body. 
Make sure you aren't holding any

31
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:23,300
stress or anxiety in the body. 
Consciously begin to scan the 

32
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:28,860
body and make sure everything is
comfortable and relaxed. 

33
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:59,360
Take a few natural deep breaths.
Release any emotions or feelings

34
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,720
you brought with you to this 
practice. 

35
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Let God handle what you cannot. 
Relax the body a little more 

36
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:42,390
with each out breath. 
Simply let go and rest in the 

37
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:58,280
presence of God. 
Feel the space around the body. 

38
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Appreciate the sounds in the 
room. 

39
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,040
Just listening and experiencing 
the feeling of breathing. 

40
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:43,500
If you notice any resistance in 
the body, come back to the 

41
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,980
breath and allow that tension to
release. 

42
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:17,040
You are safe. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:25,080
He heals the broken hearted and 
binds up their wounds. 

44
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:42,659
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of the body. 

45
00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:48,540
Notice the weight of the body on
the chair and when you feel 

46
00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:56,880
ready, allow your eyes to open 
and take a nice deep breath. 

47
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,200
Notice how your breath changes 
the way you feel. 

48
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,080
I hope you feel a little more in
touch with God. 

49
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,040
We'll see you again next time 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

50
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,520
prayer.
