1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,000
As a culture, we have become so 
desensitized to the beauty 

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,720
that's around us, we forget God 
made the world we live in and He

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,520
found it beautiful. 
As you go about your day, take a

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,000
moment to appreciate the 
beautiful world you live in. 

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,960
Let's begin by noticing the 
weight of the body, allowing the

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:47,840
body to relax into the chair, 
and as the body begins to relax,

7
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:58,160
allow your eyes to close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

8
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,920
verse. 
God saw all that he had made, 

9
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:19,920
and it was very good. 
And again, God saw all that he 

10
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:42,640
had made, and it was very good. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

11
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:49,880
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

12
00:01:49,880 --> 00:02:01,690
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

13
00:02:01,690 --> 00:02:05,090
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

14
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly, and then exhale, 

15
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:31,770
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

16
00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:40,570
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

17
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:48,080
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

18
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,600
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

19
00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:09,310
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

20
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,960
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

21
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:40,530
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

22
00:03:42,650 --> 00:03:56,760
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

23
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,800
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

24
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:09,360
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

25
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:20,630
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

26
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:44,880
loving presence of God. 
With a gentle curiosity, begin 

27
00:04:44,880 --> 00:05:02,880
to notice the breath. 
Make the breath deep and full of

28
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,920
life. 
Allow that fresh air to fill up 

29
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,960
the lungs and then relax the 
body as you exhale. 

30
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,720
Let your body become heavy as 
your mind continues to relax. 

31
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,800
You are exactly where you need 
to be. 

32
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:13,120
And now come to the heartbeat. 
Maybe even listen for its 

33
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:30,190
rhythm, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

34
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:45,780
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

35
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:53,360
When it's easy, bring your 
awareness back to the heartbeat.

36
00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:13,410
Just listen to your heartbeat 
and the gentle sound of your 

37
00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:29,810
breath. 
Let your breath act as an anchor

38
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:33,650
to this moment and this 
practice. 

39
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:53,440
With each breath, allow yourself
to rest further into the calm of

40
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:10,570
God's love. 
Take this verse with you. 

41
00:08:13,610 --> 00:08:18,690
God saw all that He had made and
it was very good. 

42
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:40,559
When it feels natural, bring 
your awareness back to the room,

43
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,080
just noticing the room with a 
gentle appreciation. 

44
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,200
And when you're ready, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

45
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

46
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,640
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

47
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,280
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
