1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,320
Meditation is more than just 
being alone and seeking 

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,760
isolation from the world. 
It's a place where you can give 

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,400
God access to your heart. 
It's an opportunity to recharge 

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,520
in the presence of your Creator 
who loves you. 

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,160
Let's start by taking a few nice
deep breaths. 

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,240
As your breath begins to relax 
your body, allow your eyes to 

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:48,520
close like the sun sets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

8
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,520
verse. 
The Word gave life to everything

9
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,640
that was created, and his life 
brought light to everyone. 

10
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:17,200
And again, the Word gave life to
everything that was created, and

11
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,840
His life brought light to 
everyone. 

12
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:43,120
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths in, 

13
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:55,390
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

14
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:05,930
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

15
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,360
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

16
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:33,330
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

17
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:43,910
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

18
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:49,310
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

19
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:59,560
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

20
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:13,020
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body 

21
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:18,660
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

22
00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:29,190
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

23
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:36,430
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

24
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:50,160
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

25
00:03:58,450 --> 00:04:01,970
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

26
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:09,210
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

27
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:22,610
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

28
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Now bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

29
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:54,600
you. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

30
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,320
just noticing them with an easy 
curiosity. 

31
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Now take a few deep breaths and 
allow the body to relax a little

32
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
more. 
With each exhale, 

33
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:51,370
with each passing thought, allow
your awareness to rest deeper 

34
00:05:51,770 --> 00:06:10,840
into God's love. 
Now begin to deepen the breath. 

35
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:37,820
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 
breath and then exhale, letting 

36
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:48,890
go of the breath and then right 
back into the next inhale. 

37
00:06:52,920 --> 00:07:04,970
Slow it down and make it deep, 
and then exhale. 

38
00:07:05,770 --> 00:07:24,940
Let the body relax. 
Now allow your breath to settle 

39
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:28,020
and let your mind settle with 
it. 

40
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:51,000
Give yourself space just to be 
who you are, a child of God. 

41
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:12,340
Take this verse with you. 
The Word gave life to everything

42
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:19,340
that was created, and His life 
brought light to everyone. 

43
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:39,280
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

44
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:45,120
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

45
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,800
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

46
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,560
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:00,400
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

48
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Take care of yourself.
