1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:10,440
Let's get started by allowing 
the body to relax and when 

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,800
you're ready, let your eyes 
close like the sun sets. 

3
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:27,190
Let your awareness rest with 
this verse and prayer. 

4
00:00:29,590 --> 00:00:32,750
The Lord is my strength and my 
song. 

5
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,840
And again, the Lord is my 
strength and my song. 

6
00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:02,690
Gently bring the awareness to 
the breath. 

7
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:12,210
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

8
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Take a nice big deep breath in. 
Now slow down on the exhale, 

9
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:38,440
letting go. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

10
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:49,920
effortlessly, and exhale, 
controlling the breath, slowing 

11
00:01:49,920 --> 00:02:04,420
it down. 
Give yourself some space just to

12
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:18,000
be 
whatever you need to let go of. 

13
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Let it go. 
Release it to God. 

14
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Allow this time to be what you 
need it to be. 

15
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,560
And if the thoughts take you 
away, know that that's OK. 

16
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,160
When it feels natural and 
effortless, slowly bring your 

17
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:23,400
attention back to the breath. 
Remember, this is a place of 

18
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:31,760
safety. 
God's calming presence is always

19
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:50,880
accessible to you. 
Release your anxieties and let 

20
00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:06,400
God handle what you cannot. 
Notice how the body is relaxing 

21
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:21,360
and releasing. 
Now begin to soften the back of 

22
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:31,200
your neck. 
Allow your limbs to become 

23
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:43,390
heavy. 
Allow the shoulders to relax. 

24
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:09,860
Let your mind rest just noticing
and appreciating this moment. 

25
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:36,080
When it feels natural, begin 
releasing the tension in your 

26
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:50,280
hands, shoulders and neck. 
Let go of that stress. 

27
00:05:57,450 --> 00:06:01,730
Release your anxieties and 
worries to God. 

28
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:29,520
Let go of your grip on control. 
Take a big, deep breath in. 

29
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,600
Release your stress, let go of 
your frustrations. 

30
00:06:53,630 --> 00:07:08,320
Let it all go on the exhale. 
We aren't holding on to the 

31
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,120
thoughts, we're just letting 
them release. 

32
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Now bring your awareness to the 
way the body feels. 

33
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:53,250
Allow yourself to sink into your
chair or your bed. 

34
00:07:57,930 --> 00:08:19,960
Let the body relax and release. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

35
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:37,030
your attention to the heart. 
Feel the heartbeat, just 

36
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:53,790
noticing it. 
Allow that natural rhythm and 

37
00:08:53,790 --> 00:09:12,440
stillness to relax the body. 
Just notice the way that you 

38
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:23,000
feel, not trying to change it, 
just accepting it the way that 

39
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:39,810
it is. 
Allow yourself to relax into the

40
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:58,800
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

41
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,720
The Lord is my strength and my 
song. 

42
00:10:20,430 --> 00:10:24,670
God, I know you're always with 
me. 

43
00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:29,470
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

44
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:36,390
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

45
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920
I trust your plan for my life.
