1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,680
Making meditation and prayer a 
regular part of your daily 

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,640
routine is important, but 
mindfulness can be brought into 

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:20,680
all areas of your life. 
Try an attitude of curiosity and

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,920
gratitude for whatever you're 
doing in this moment. 

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,560
Go ahead and get comfortable in 
your position, really allowing 

6
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:48,200
the body to relax, and when you 
feel ready, let your eyes slowly

7
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:56,920
close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

8
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,560
this verse. 
We can't round up enough 

9
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,600
containers to hold everything 
God generously pours into our 

10
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:22,580
lives. 
Again, we can't round up enough 

11
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:27,500
containers to hold everything 
God generously pours into our 

12
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:43,000
lives. 
Now bring your attention to the 

13
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:51,440
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

14
00:01:51,480 --> 00:02:05,750
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

15
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:17,330
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

16
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:30,360
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

17
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,960
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

18
00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:49,370
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

19
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,360
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

20
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:20,120
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

21
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,480
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

22
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:39,340
drift 
as best you can. 

23
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:46,420
Leave those thoughts right where
they are and come back to that 

24
00:03:46,420 --> 00:04:00,800
feeling of your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

25
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,880
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

26
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000
There isn't anything to 
discover. 

27
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:25,780
It's always been there. 
This is a safe place. 

28
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:47,440
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease, bring 

29
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,080
your awareness to rest on your 
breath. 

30
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:06,800
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale and then allow your 

31
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,440
awareness to rest in a little 
more with each exhale. 

32
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,880
Notice how with each breath the 
body feels a little calmer. 

33
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:53,220
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

34
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:09,730
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

35
00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:22,960
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

36
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,480
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

37
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:37,840
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

38
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:51,440
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress, Let go of

39
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:58,400
your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

40
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:11,580
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

41
00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:33,040
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

42
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,880
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

43
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,880
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

44
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,560
Take this verse with you. 
We can't round up enough 

45
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,600
containers to hold everything 
God generously pours into our 

46
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:37,909
lives. 
Gently bring your awareness back

47
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:42,870
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

48
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:49,760
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

49
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,000
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

50
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,840
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

51
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,440
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

52
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,520
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
