1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,080
Creating new habits requires 
persistence. 

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:10,200
It's a daily choice. 
You can live in peace by re 

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,680
centering yourself with the 
presence of Jesus. 

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,080
By meditating today, you're 
choosing to live in peace and 

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,120
allowing Jesus to bring calm to 
your spirit. 

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:33,840
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable, taking a few nice 

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:44,520
big deep breaths, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

8
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:53,160
slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

9
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,400
this verse. 
Stay joined to me and let my 

10
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,960
teachings. 
Become part of you. 

11
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:16,460
And again stay joined to me and 
let my teachings. 

12
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:37,360
Become part of you. 
When it feels comfortable, go 

13
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:46,960
ahead and take a few deep 
breaths in nice and easy. 

14
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Let the breath settle and become
natural and bring your attention

15
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:11,680
to the space in the room, not 
thinking too hard about it, just

16
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,000
becoming aware of your body and 
your surroundings. 

17
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Notice the air on the skin. 
Feel the chair beneath you. 

18
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:47,010
Pay attention to the position of
your body. 

19
00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:50,770
Make sure that you're 
comfortable. 

20
00:03:01,710 --> 00:03:09,310
Notice the state of your mind. 
Does the mind feel calm? 

21
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:25,280
Does it feel restless? 
Both are OK, just a simple easy 

22
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:38,200
noticing, just noticing the 
space. 

23
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:52,530
Almost like you're an observer. 
Notice the gentle sound of your 

24
00:03:52,530 --> 00:04:07,440
breath coming in and going out. 
Deepening the inhales and 

25
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:13,480
extending the exhales, letting 
the body rest, 

26
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:45,160
just relax. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

27
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,360
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

28
00:04:52,360 --> 00:05:09,720
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

29
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,120
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

30
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:33,080
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly, and then exhale, 

31
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:51,260
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

32
00:05:51,260 --> 00:05:58,540
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

33
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:04,080
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

34
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,600
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

35
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,820
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

36
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,480
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

37
00:06:44,480 --> 00:07:01,040
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

38
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:17,760
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

39
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,800
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

40
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:30,360
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

41
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:46,640
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

42
00:07:46,640 --> 00:08:05,600
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Stay joined to me and let my 
teachings. 

44
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Become part of you. 
Slowly begin to bring your 

45
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:36,640
awareness back to the body. 
Maybe even move your fingers and

46
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,240
toes a little bit. 
When it feels natural, allow 

47
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:48,760
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take another big deep breath in 

48
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,200
and let it out with a sigh. 
Notice how you feel. 

49
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,960
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

50
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,400
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

51
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:03,920
prayer.
