1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,240
Like a plant needs water, your 
soul needs connection. 

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Without regular connection with 
God, you'll find that things 

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,240
that normally bring your life 
meaning may not offer the same 

4
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:25,520
fulfilment. 
By taking time to meditate, 

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,520
you're watering all the areas of
your life by bringing God into 

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:41,650
your daily existence. 
Let's begin by noticing the 

7
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:50,690
weight of the body, allowing the
body to relax into the chair, 

8
00:00:55,450 --> 00:01:01,730
and as the body begins to relax,
allow your eyes to close. 

9
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

10
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,040
People do not live by bread 
alone, but by every word. 

11
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,640
That comes from the mouth of 
God. 

12
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:38,080
And again, people do not live by
bread alone, but by every word. 

13
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,680
That comes from the mouth of 
God. 

14
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:58,230
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

15
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:09,210
you. 
Not engaging with your feelings,

16
00:02:11,050 --> 00:02:23,100
just noticing them. 
Almost like you're observing 

17
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,220
your. 
Emotions. 

18
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:35,160
And then letting them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

19
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,960
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

20
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

21
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,960
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

22
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:28,370
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

23
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:38,490
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

24
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:51,120
to consciously relax the body. 
Scanning down from your head to 

25
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,320
your toes, release any areas of 
tension in the body. 

26
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:16,140
Surrender all of your stress and
all of your responsibilities and

27
00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:34,160
just let your mind rest. 
You are safe. 

28
00:04:35,800 --> 00:05:00,110
God is looking out for you. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

29
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:07,350
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

30
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:27,160
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

31
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,600
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

32
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:52,020
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly and then exhale, 

33
00:05:52,980 --> 00:06:07,240
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

34
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:16,040
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

35
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:23,560
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

36
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,080
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

37
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

38
00:06:54,140 --> 00:07:00,460
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

39
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:16,030
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

40
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:34,280
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

41
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,280
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

42
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,840
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

43
00:07:47,000 --> 00:08:05,120
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

44
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:24,070
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

45
00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:31,710
People do not live by bread 
alone, but by every word. 

46
00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:34,309
That comes from the mouth of 
God. 

47
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:53,520
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

48
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:59,360
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

49
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:07,040
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

50
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,760
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

51
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,640
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

52
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,240
Take care of yourself.
