1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,080
As children, we all have a sense
of wonder and approach life with

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,560
excitement, but somewhere along 
the way, most of us lose our 

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:21,480
sense of wonder. 
As you meditate today, let God 

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,160
reignite your heart with a sense
of wonder and newness. 

5
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,680
When you feel ready, go ahead 
and get comfortable in your 

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,680
position, really allowing the 
body to relax. 

7
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,080
And when you're ready, let your 
eyes slowly close. 

8
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,800
He makes us young again, like an
eagle that grows new feathers. 

10
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:24,250
And again, he makes us young 
again, like an eagle that grows 

11
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:41,880
new feathers. 
Now bring your awareness to the 

12
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:50,990
feeling of the body. 
Maybe there's some muscle 

13
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:55,190
tightness or stress lingering in
the body. 

14
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Slowly bring your attention to 
those areas of tightness and 

15
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:24,360
relax them piece by piece. 
Feel the weight of your body in 

16
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:36,100
the chair. 
As your body begins to relax, 

17
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:47,700
allow your mind to let go. 
Give yourself permission to 

18
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:59,840
start fresh. 
What is done is done. 

19
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:15,680
All you have is this moment. 
This is a safe place. 

20
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Release your thoughts to God. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

21
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:52,920
a few nice deep breaths, inhale,
feel the chest rise, and exhale,

22
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:05,680
feel the chest fall. 
There's no way to do this wrong.

23
00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:15,650
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

24
00:04:17,010 --> 00:04:23,330
When it feels comfortable, bring
your awareness back to the 

25
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:44,800
feeling of the breath. 
Let's take a few nice deep 

26
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:58,020
breaths. 
Allow your breath to fill the 

27
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:06,380
body up and then relax with each
out breath. 

28
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:21,860
With each new breath, allow the 
chest to open and the body to 

29
00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:38,880
relax. 
Let go of any tension in your 

30
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,680
body. 
Just focus your attention on the

31
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:54,640
breath. 
Deep breaths in through the nose

32
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:09,160
and out through the mouth. 
And when it feels comfortable, 

33
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:20,200
begin to count the breath. 
One on the inhale and two on the

34
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:32,480
exhale, three on the next inhale
and four on the next exhale, 

35
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,400
counting up to 10 and then 
starting over again. 

36
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:06,600
Now let go of the counting and 
bring your attention to the 

37
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:19,880
sound of your breathing. 
Just a nice soft focus on the 

38
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,840
air coming in and the air going 
out. 

39
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Just relaxing and releasing. 
Allow your awareness to rest 

40
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:09,300
with the breath. 
Take this verse with you. 

41
00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:17,220
He makes us young again, like an
eagle that grows new feathers. 

42
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:36,720
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

43
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,000
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

44
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:47,400
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

45
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:53,360
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

46
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,520
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,600
present. 
We'll see you again to Morrow 

48
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,840
for another day of hope. 
Take care.
