1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,800
Let's take a break today from 
this constant need to do make a 

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,640
conscious decision to stop being
a person doing and become a 

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:16,760
person simply being, just 
experiencing the moment and 

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:25,160
reconnecting with God. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:33,520
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,400
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sunsets. 

7
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

8
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,440
I knew you before I formed you 
in your mother's womb. 

9
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Before you were born, I set you 
apart. 

10
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:14,830
And again, I knew you before I 
formed you in your mother's 

11
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:18,990
womb. 
Before you were born, I set you 

12
00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:38,360
apart. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

13
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:50,740
a few nice deep breaths in, 
really making a point to expand 

14
00:01:50,740 --> 00:02:03,940
the body and expand the chest. 
Notice how the breath makes you 

15
00:02:03,940 --> 00:02:18,440
feel. 
Now let the breath begin to 

16
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:27,940
settle. 
As your breath begins to settle,

17
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:42,040
allow the body to become heavy. 
Notice any sensations in the 

18
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,360
body. 
See if you're holding on to any 

19
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:57,280
tension. 
Maybe the body is tight, or 

20
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,360
maybe it's not. 
Either is OK. 

21
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:14,710
You're just scanning the body 
looking for any areas of 

22
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:18,190
tightness and letting them 
release. 

23
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:32,340
And if the mind drifts away in 
thought, slowly bring it back to

24
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:35,700
the feelings in the body and the
breath. 

25
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:59,280
Your body knows how to relax. 
You don't have to think about it

26
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,720
for it to happen. 
You are simply uncovering the 

27
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:19,980
calm that was always present. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

28
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:40,160
arms of God. 
Now bring your attention to any 

29
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,760
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

30
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:57,970
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them with an easy 

31
00:04:57,970 --> 00:05:21,320
curiosity. 
Now take a few deep breaths and 

32
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,720
allow the body to relax a little
more. 

33
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:47,440
With each exhale, 
with each passing thought, allow

34
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,040
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

35
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:29,390
Now begin to deepen the breath. 
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 

36
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:44,870
breath and then exhale, letting 
go of the breath and then right 

37
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:55,320
back into the next inhale. 
Slow it down and make it deep, 

38
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:06,590
and then exhale. 
Let the body relax. 

39
00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:26,570
Now allow your breath to settle 
and let your mind settle with 

40
00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:46,040
it. 
Give yourself space just to be 

41
00:07:46,040 --> 00:08:05,810
who you are, a child of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:14,730
I knew you before I formed you 
in your mother's womb, before 

43
00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:17,570
you were born. 
I set you apart. 

44
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:37,520
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

45
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:43,360
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

46
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:51,040
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

47
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,800
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

48
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,640
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

49
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Take care of yourself.
