1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,600
Giving thanks is a great way to 
start every day. 

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,440
It automatically makes you 
happier and makes you more aware

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,160
of all of the blessings that God
has given you. 

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,680
It changes you and makes you 
better. 

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,920
It brings you closer to becoming
who God designed you to be. 

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,720
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable. 

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Take a few nice big deep 
breaths, and when you're ready, 

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:54,920
allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this 

9
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,920
verse. 
Give and you will receive. 

10
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Your gift will return to you in 
full. 

11
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:20,110
And again, Give and you will 
receive. 

12
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:24,190
Your gift will return to you in 
full. 

13
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,880
Now bring your attention to the 
way it feels when you breathe. 

14
00:01:57,050 --> 00:02:07,770
Feel the stomach and the chest 
rise with each inhale and feel 

15
00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:30,640
the body relax with each exhale.
In through the nose, feel the 

16
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,280
body expand and then slowly 
exhale. 

17
00:02:52,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Let the breath be natural. 
Let the breath naturally relax 

18
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:19,120
the body. 
Allow the face and the neck to 

19
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:34,910
soften. 
Allow the forehead to relax and 

20
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:38,070
the shoulders to fall away from 
the ears. 

21
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Relax the body and allow the 
chair to hold the body up. 

22
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:13,160
Just relaxing and letting the 
body unwind. 

23
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:41,220
Simply let go 
now. 

24
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:48,540
Take a moment to be grateful for
this opportunity to relax. 

25
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Notice how good it feels just to
be here in this moment. 

26
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:31,560
When it feels natural, begin to 
deepen the breath, Let go of 

27
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,360
your worries and focus your 
attention on the breath. 

28
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,840
Nothing else matters right now. 
You are here. 

29
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,880
There is nothing to do but 
relax. 

30
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:13,650
Allow your body to honor the 
natural calm given by God's 

31
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:26,160
presence. 
Just listening to the breath, 

32
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,360
noticing the rise and the fall 
of the chest. 

33
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Deep breath in, expanding the 
body, and then exhale, letting 

34
00:06:47,880 --> 00:07:07,120
your awareness rest. 
Take another deep breath as you 

35
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:18,400
feel your lungs expand and 
exhale, following the air back 

36
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:30,660
out through the mouth. 
The thoughts may take you away, 

37
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:51,120
and that's OK. 
With each breath, effortlessly 

38
00:07:52,040 --> 00:08:11,570
rest into the arms of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

39
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:20,850
Give and you will receive. 
Your gift will return to you in 

40
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:37,720
full. 
Slowly bring your awareness back

41
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:45,160
to the body and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open. 

42
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,680
Take a moment to notice how your
body feels. 

43
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,400
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you again tomorrow 

44
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,080
with Hope, Mindfulness and 
prayer. 

45
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Remember, be easy with yourself.
