1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,680
One of the best ways to 
guarantee you have a good day is

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
to start your day by reminding 
yourself of all the things that 

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,880
you're grateful for. 
Of course, this won't always be 

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,360
easy and it will sometimes feel 
forced, but by orienting 

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,720
yourself towards what you have 
rather than what you don't have,

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:35,600
you'll naturally be more happy. 
Today, as you rest into this 

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,440
meditation, remind yourself that
God is here with you right now 

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:52,680
and that is enough. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

9
00:00:52,680 --> 00:01:00,840
started by getting comfortable 
in your chair, and when you're 

10
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:10,720
ready, take a few nice deep 
breaths and allow your eyes to 

11
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,160
slowly close. 
As your body begins to settle, 

12
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,840
take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

13
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,640
No one has ever seen. 
No one has ever heard. 

14
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,880
No one has ever imagined what 
God has prepared for those who 

15
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:52,030
love Him. 
Again, no one has ever seen. 

16
00:01:53,350 --> 00:02:00,480
No one has ever heard. 
No one has ever imagined what 

17
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
God has prepared for those who 
love Him. 

18
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:21,270
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

19
00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:38,340
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

20
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:49,320
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

21
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:56,200
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

22
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:09,940
your surroundings. 
Notice the air on the skin. 

23
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:27,760
Feel the chair beneath you. 
Pay attention to the position of

24
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,440
your body. 
Make sure that you're 

25
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:45,810
comfortable. 
Notice the state of your mind. 

26
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:53,970
Does the mind feel calm? 
Does it feel restless? 

27
00:03:56,090 --> 00:04:07,720
Both are OK. 
Just a simple, easy noticing, 

28
00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:22,990
just noticing the space, almost 
like you're an observer. 

29
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:38,630
Notice the gentle sound of your 
breath coming in and going out, 

30
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:53,560
deepening the inhales and 
extending the exhales, letting 

31
00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:07,890
the body rest, 
just relax. 

32
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:35,510
Let's begin to take note of how 
the body is feeling, not really 

33
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:41,750
thinking too much about it, just
letting go of those feelings of 

34
00:05:41,750 --> 00:06:06,120
tightness and tension. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

35
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:27,620
a few deep breaths 
in through the nose and out 

36
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:40,520
through the mouth. 
Deep breath in, expanding the 

37
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:49,840
body and filling the chest up 
and exhale, feeling the chest 

38
00:06:49,840 --> 00:07:08,970
fall and let go. 
Take another big deep breath in 

39
00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:17,610
and control the exhale, letting 
it take twice as long as the 

40
00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:25,570
inhale. 
With each breath, allow the 

41
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:28,570
tension to melt away from the 
body. 

42
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Now allow your breath to take up
a natural rhythm. 

43
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Let the gentle sound of your 
breathing relax your mind. 

44
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:21,360
There is no way to do this 
wrong, just an easy, effortless 

45
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:47,050
awareness letting go. 
Take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:58,330
No one has ever seen, no one has
ever heard, no one has ever 

47
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:02,880
imagined what God has prepared 
for those who love Him. 

48
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:22,020
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

49
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:29,380
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

50
00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:35,660
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

51
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,200
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

52
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,960
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
