1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:08,280
Things are always changing, your
job, your relationships, your 

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,280
body, but the one thing you can 
count on being consistent is 

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,280
God. 
He's the same today as He's 

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,960
always been and will always be. 
His presence and love are 

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,520
consistent and unchanging. 
As you rest into this meditation

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,560
today, know that God is with you
and He will always be by your 

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,240
side through all of the changes 
that life brings. 

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,520
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

9
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,240
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

10
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:04,879
few Nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

11
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:13,160
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

12
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,000
God doesn't come and go. 
God lasts. 

13
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,680
And again, God doesn't come and 
go, God lasts. 

14
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:58,980
When it feels natural, let's 
take a nice big breath. 

15
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:11,980
With each breath allow the body 
to become softer and more 

16
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:22,400
relaxed, almost like a wave of 
relaxation washing over the 

17
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:31,450
body. 
The breath fills up the body, 

18
00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:39,130
and then it gives way to that 
natural relaxation that's right 

19
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:55,440
under the surface. 
Now let's turn our awareness to 

20
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:05,910
how the body feels. 
Just examining the body with an 

21
00:03:06,030 --> 00:03:17,730
easy curiosity. 
Allow your shoulders to relax 

22
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:27,480
and fall away from the ears. 
Relax your arms and allow your 

23
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:38,920
hands to open and let go. 
Allow your temples and face to 

24
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:46,800
relax. 
Let the throat and the neck 

25
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:56,280
soften. 
Allow your breath to deepen as 

26
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:06,280
your awareness rests deeper, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

27
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:21,440
You are here and everything is 
OK God is with you. 

28
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:41,680
And now for a moment or two, let
go of any focus and allow 

29
00:04:41,680 --> 00:05:01,400
yourself to simply be 
gently bring your awareness to 

30
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:13,280
any sensations you're feeling, 
just noticing the sensations on 

31
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:27,880
the body. 
Maybe it's the air on the skin 

32
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:40,650
or the weight of the body in the
chair just noticing and 

33
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:45,530
welcoming these sensations as 
part of the meditation. 

34
00:05:54,870 --> 00:06:00,150
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

35
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body, the 

36
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:32,600
inhales expanding the body and 
filling it up with life, and the

37
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,320
exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

38
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:57,160
Follow the breath as it comes in
through the nose and then goes 

39
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:15,540
back out through the mouth. 
You don't have to do anything. 

40
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:24,780
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

41
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:33,040
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

42
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,520
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

43
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:08,550
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

44
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:30,320
Take this verse with you. 
God doesn't come and go. 

45
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:51,920
God lasts. 
Gently bring your awareness back

46
00:08:51,920 --> 00:09:01,280
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

47
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,080
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

48
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:14,400
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

49
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,040
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
