1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:15,890 Begin by taking a few nice deep breaths and as your body begins 2 00:00:15,890 --> 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 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:46,080 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not 5 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:53,120 brag and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not 6 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,360 selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. 7 00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:11,910 And again, love is patient and kind. 8 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:20,520 Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 9 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:29,240 Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made 10 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:44,380 angry easily. Bring your attention to any 11 00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:48,580 emotions you're carrying with you in the body. 12 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Not placing judgement on the feelings or engaging with them, 13 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:10,280 just noticing them, taking note of the emotions and then letting 14 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:24,810 them go. Begin to notice that deeper 15 00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:29,970 sense of calm beneath those emotions. 16 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:51,520 Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place 17 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,120 where you feel loved and taken care of. 18 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:09,070 This is a place of safety and acceptance. 19 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:20,270 God loves you and wants you to feel loved. 20 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,680 He wants you to feel a sense of security in Him. 21 00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:50,620 In this place of safety, begin to notice how your body feels, 22 00:03:56,900 --> 00:04:03,820 consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to 23 00:04:03,820 --> 00:04:24,760 calm your mind. For a moment or two, relax and 24 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640 notice how you feel in this place. 25 00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:42,610 If the mind wanders off, that's OK. 26 00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:51,530 When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this 27 00:04:51,530 --> 00:05:08,840 place of love and safety. Surrendering all of your worried 28 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,760 thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your 29 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:22,840 responsibilities. Just relaxing and releasing. 30 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:49,760 Letting go. Now take some nice deep breaths 31 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,920 in through the nose and out through the mouth. 32 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:39,990 Just watching the breath, watching the rise and the fall 33 00:06:40,350 --> 00:07:03,640 of the chest. Listening to the sounds of your 34 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:32,240 breath. Notice your feelings and 35 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:45,890 emotions, just taking note of them and then coming back to the 36 00:07:45,890 --> 00:08:24,600 feeling of the breath. And now bring your attention to 37 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:40,360 the heart. Let your awareness settle on to 38 00:08:40,360 --> 00:09:10,040 the heartbeat. Allow your awareness to fall and 39 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:19,520 move inward, finding that place where you feel loved. 40 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:50,920 Feel that sense of natural peace that can only be found in God's 41 00:09:50,920 --> 00:10:17,920 presence. Remember, when you come near to 42 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:38,580 God, He will come near to you. Take this verse with you. 43 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:49,140 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not 44 00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:57,080 brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not 45 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,200 selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. 46 00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:17,540 God, I know you're always with me. 47 00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:22,380 Thank you for all of your blessings. 48 00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:29,260 Help me to relax and let go in your presence. 49 00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:33,820 I trust your plan for my life.
