1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:15,930 Begin by taking a few nice deep breaths and as your body begins 2 00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:21,890 to relax, allow your eyes to slowly close. 3 00:00:29,190 --> 00:00:34,550 Bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer. 4 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,360 Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the 5 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,600 fine good things in others. Think about all you can praise 6 00:00:48,600 --> 00:01:04,510 God for and be glad about it. And again, think about things 7 00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:11,270 that are pure and lovely and dwell on the fine, good things 8 00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:15,480 in others. Think about all you can praise 9 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:32,900 God for and be glad about. Bring your attention to any 10 00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:37,100 emotions you're carrying with you in the body. 11 00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:46,060 Not placing judgement on the feelings or engaging with them, 12 00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:58,040 just noticing them. Taking note of the emotions and 13 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:13,310 then letting them go. Begin to notice that deeper 14 00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:18,470 sense of calm beneath those emotions. 15 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place 16 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600 where you feel loved and taken care of. 17 00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:57,610 This is a place of safety and acceptance. 18 00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:08,820 God loves you and wants you to feel loved. 19 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,200 He wants you to feel a sense of security in Him. 20 00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:39,140 In this place of safety, begin to notice how your body feels, 21 00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:52,330 consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to 22 00:03:52,330 --> 00:04:13,280 calm your mind. For a moment or two, relax and 23 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160 notice how you feel in this place. 24 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,160 If the mind wanders off, that's OK. 25 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,040 When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this 26 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:57,360 place of love and safety. Surrendering all of your worried 27 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,280 thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your 28 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:11,360 responsibilities. Just relaxing and releasing. 29 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:37,480 Letting go. Now bring your attention to the 30 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:52,450 breath. Let's take some nice deep 31 00:05:52,810 --> 00:06:09,830 breaths. Make them feel easy and 32 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:19,950 effortless in through the nose and out through the mouth. 33 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:44,830 Feeling life enter your body as you breathe in, inhale, feel how 34 00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:55,990 the body expands, then slowly exhale, releasing tension as you 35 00:06:55,990 --> 00:07:14,760 go. Feel the air as it travels in 36 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:24,280 through the nose and feel the body fall with each exhale. 37 00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,080 With each breath, allow the chest and shoulders to soften 38 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:28,880 and relax. Notice how the body feels. 39 00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:44,980 Allow your breath to soften and release the tension in your 40 00:08:44,980 --> 00:09:10,040 body. Just relaxing and releasing. 41 00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:36,740 There's no way to do this wrong. The breath breathes itself. 42 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,120 And now let your mind go where it wants to go. 43 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:20,150 Take this verse with you. Think about things that are pure 44 00:10:20,350 --> 00:10:26,630 and lovely, and dwell on the fine good things in others. 45 00:10:27,630 --> 00:10:32,710 Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. 46 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,840 God, I know you're always with me. 47 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Thank you for all of your blessings. 48 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,560 Help me to relax and let go in your presence. 49 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,120 I trust your plan for my life.
