1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,280
Sometimes when we're meditating,
we realize that all of a sudden 

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,000
we haven't been present, and 
from there the mind can go all 

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,240
kinds of places. 
It's important to remember that 

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,800
this is a natural part of 
meditation. 

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,520
When the mind wanders, just 
accept it and bring yourself 

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,600
back to the path. 
Just peacefully existing and 

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,520
knowing this is all part of the 
process in life and in 

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,320
meditation. 
Give yourself space. 

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Let's go ahead and get started 
by gently bringing your 

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:50,760
attention to the breath. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:58,680
the chest. 
And when you're ready, let your 

12
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:09,760
eyes close like the sun sets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

13
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:18,920
verse with all your heart. 
Rely on Him to guide you and He 

14
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,000
will lead you in every decision 
you make. 

15
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:38,600
And again, with all your heart, 
rely on Him to guide you and He 

16
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000
will lead you in every decision 
you make. 

17
00:01:56,330 --> 00:02:02,250
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

18
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:19,400
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

19
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:30,360
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

20
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,240
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

21
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:51,000
your surroundings. 
Notice the air on the skin. 

22
00:02:56,750 --> 00:03:08,780
Feel the chair beneath you. 
Pay attention to the position of

23
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:12,460
your body. 
Make sure that you're 

24
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:26,840
comfortable. 
Notice the state of your mind. 

25
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,040
Does the mind feel calm? 
Does it feel restless? 

26
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:59,820
Both are OK, just a simple easy 
noticing, just noticing the 

27
00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:04,060
space. 
Almost like you're an observer. 

28
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Notice the gentle sound of your 
breath coming in and going out. 

29
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:34,600
Deepening the inhales and 
extending the exhales, letting 

30
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:48,970
the body rest, 
just relax. 

31
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,400
Keeping your eyes closed bring 
your awareness to the space 

32
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:26,850
around the room. 
Just noticing the sounds in the 

33
00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:31,010
room and the sensations on the 
body. 

34
00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:43,210
Welcome these sensations as part
of the practice. 

35
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,160
When it feels comfortable, take 
some nice deep breaths. 

36
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:38,490
Real easy deep breaths. 
Now begin to slow down the 

37
00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:51,390
inhale. 
Long, slow, deep inhalation, and

38
00:06:51,390 --> 00:06:58,880
then let the breath out and 
relax again. 

39
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Take another long, slow, deep 
breath in, filling up the body, 

40
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120
and then let the exhale come 
naturally. 

41
00:07:19,980 --> 00:07:24,900
With each breath, let your mind 
relax. 

42
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Allow your feelings to release 
and become a prayer to God 

43
00:07:57,050 --> 00:08:04,010
now for a few moments. 
Let go of the focused attention 

44
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:11,810
and let your awareness rest. 
You are loved. 

45
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Take this verse with you with 
all your heart. 

46
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Rely on Him to guide you and He 
will lead you in every decision 

47
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:57,350
you make. 
When it feels natural, bring 

48
00:08:57,350 --> 00:09:04,400
your awareness back to the room.
Just noticing the room with a 

49
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,320
gentle appreciation. 
And when you're ready, allow 

50
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,120
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

51
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,240
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

52
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,360
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

53
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,720
another day of hope.
