1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:06,360
If you feel like your heart has 
never found a home, you're not 

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:12,040
alone. 
We're made in God's image, and 

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:17,880
until we know God and in turn 
know ourselves, we'll always 

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,400
feel like something's missing. 
Trust that by spending this time

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,360
in meditation and prayer, you're
moving closer to becoming whole.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,640
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

7
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:45,320
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

8
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:58,480
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close as 

9
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,239
your body begins to settle. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:12,600
verse. 
Those who find me find life, and

11
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,560
the Lord will be pleased with 
them. 

12
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:29,750
And again, those who find me 
find life, and the Lord will be 

13
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:48,000
pleased with them. 
Now bring your attention to the 

14
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,440
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

15
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:10,750
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

16
00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:22,320
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

17
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:35,390
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

18
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:38,950
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

19
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:54,380
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

20
00:03:03,130 --> 00:03:09,370
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

21
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:25,120
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

22
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,480
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

23
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:44,330
drift 
as best you can. 

24
00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:51,450
Leave those thoughts right where
they are and come back to that 

25
00:03:51,450 --> 00:04:05,800
feeling of your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

26
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,840
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

27
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,000
There isn't anything to 
discover. 

28
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:30,760
It's always been there. 
This is a safe place. 

29
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:54,480
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease, bring 

30
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080
your awareness to rest on your 
breath. 

31
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:10,290
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale. 

32
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:28,860
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

33
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

34
00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:10,770
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

35
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:28,970
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

36
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:34,490
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

37
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:45,840
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

38
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:55,110
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

39
00:06:55,990 --> 00:07:08,400
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

40
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:21,560
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

41
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:39,060
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

42
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:43,900
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

43
00:07:55,190 --> 00:08:00,390
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

44
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Take this verse with you. 
Those who find me find life, and

45
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,600
the Lord will be pleased with 
them. 

46
00:08:41,309 --> 00:08:48,550
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

47
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:55,910
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

48
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

49
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,720
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

50
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
