1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:07,160
You were designed to love. 
Maybe you've been hurt in the 

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,520
past and that makes it hard to 
love again. 

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,200
That's understandable. 
It's natural to feel this way. 

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,960
But remember, Jesus loves you 
just as you are. 

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080
There's nothing you can do to 
change that. 

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:39,680
OK, let's begin by taking a few 
seconds to consciously relax the

7
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:50,920
body, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

8
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,400
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

9
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,800
The Lord is close to the broken 
hearted. 

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,960
He rescues those whose spirits 
are crushed. 

11
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,120
And again, the Lord is close to 
the broken hearted. 

12
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:29,760
He rescues those whose spirits 
are crushed. 

13
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,160
With an easy awareness, bring 
your attention to the space in 

14
00:01:51,160 --> 00:02:01,230
the room. 
Just noticing the space. 

15
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:13,280
With an easy curiosity, notice 
your place in the room. 

16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Feel the weight of your body in 
the chair. 

17
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:41,210
Feel the air on your skin. 
Listen to the sounds in the 

18
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:47,490
room. 
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 

19
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:52,130
maybe it's not. 
Both are OK. 

20
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,720
You're just listening and 
welcoming the sounds as part of 

21
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:21,170
the exercise, not wishing to 
change the sounds, just 

22
00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:36,900
accepting the sounds as they are
when it feels natural. 

23
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:42,260
Slowly bring your awareness to 
the breath. 

24
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,520
Allow your breath to be a 
reminder to stay in this present

25
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:07,310
moment. 
If your mind begins to wander, 

26
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:12,350
you can always come back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

27
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Relax and let your body honor 
the natural calm that only comes

28
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000
from the presence of a loving 
God. 

29
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,640
With ease, bring your attention 
to the breath. 

30
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:18,700
Take a few nice deep breaths, 
make them feel easy and 

31
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:39,440
effortless. 
Feel life enter your body as you

32
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:47,440
breathe in and then release your
tension as you breathe out. 

33
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:17,480
Inhale, feel how the body 
expands, then slowly exhale, 

34
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:36,950
feeling the body fall. 
Feel the air as it travels in 

35
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:43,590
through the nose and follow the 
air back out through the mouth. 

36
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Allow each breath to soften the 
chest and relax the shoulders. 

37
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:10,710
Begin to scan the body from the 
head to the toe, relaxing the 

38
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:26,760
body piece by piece. 
There's no way to do this wrong.

39
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:46,470
And now, for a few moments, 
allow your mind to do what it 

40
00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:54,230
wants to do. 
If it wants to think then let it

41
00:07:54,230 --> 00:08:01,590
think, and if it wants to rest 
then let it rest. 

42
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord is close to the broken 

43
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,400
hearted. 
He rescues those whose spirits 

44
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:48,280
are crushed. 
Allow your awareness to slowly 

45
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:56,000
come back to your body and when 
it feels natural, begin to open 

46
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,520
your eyes. 
Sit back in your chair. 

47
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,760
Maybe you want to stretch a 
little bit. 

48
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Do whatever feels good. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

49
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,120
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,800
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

51
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,080
another day of hope.
