1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280
Live with open hands and simply 
let go. 

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,800
It's natural to want to hold on 
to what you have, but letting go

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,640
is necessary to receive what God
has planned for you. 

4
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,560
Letting go is the result of 
trusting God's plan for your 

5
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:41,280
life. 
Today, as you meditate, notice 

6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,840
the things that you're holding 
onto and let them go. 

7
00:00:52,330 --> 00:00:58,290
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable and taking a few 

8
00:00:58,290 --> 00:01:06,450
deep breaths. 
As you begin to feel your body 

9
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:12,280
releasing, allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

10
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,160
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

11
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,560
I alone know the plans I have 
for you, plans to bring about 

12
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:43,880
the future you hope for. 
And again, I alone know the 

13
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,560
plans I have for you, plans to 
bring about the future you hope 

14
00:01:50,560 --> 00:02:08,979
for. 
Keeping your eyes closed bring 

15
00:02:08,979 --> 00:02:12,580
your awareness to the space 
around the room. 

16
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,360
Just noticing the sounds in the 
room and the sensations on the 

17
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:37,040
body. 
Welcome these sensations as part

18
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:53,380
of the practice. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

19
00:02:53,380 --> 00:03:09,600
some nice deep breaths. 
Real easy deep breaths 

20
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:25,180
now begin to slow down the 
inhale. 

21
00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:38,020
Long, slow, deep inhalation, and
then let the breath out and 

22
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:48,080
relax again. 
Take another long, slow, deep 

23
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,160
breath in, filling up the body 
and then let the exhale come 

24
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:05,820
naturally. 
With each breath, let your mind 

25
00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:21,480
relax, allow your feelings to 
release and become a prayer to 

26
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:41,040
God. 
Now for a few moments, let go of

27
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,440
the focused attention and let 
your awareness rest. 

28
00:04:48,360 --> 00:05:12,400
You are loved. 
And now bring your attention to 

29
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:24,400
the heartbeat. 
Allow its rhythm to relax the 

30
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:37,740
body. 
As you begin to relax, bring 

31
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:40,980
your attention to the weight of 
the body. 

32
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Allow the arms and the legs to 
become heavy. 

33
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:15,690
Allow the face to soften all the
way down through the neck. 

34
00:06:22,450 --> 00:06:33,600
Soften the skin. 
Allow the corners of the eyes to

35
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:42,560
relax. 
Let the shoulders fall away from

36
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:51,410
the ears. 
Release the elbows. 

37
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Let the wrists and the hands 
relax. 

38
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Soften the chest and the 
stomach. 

39
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:36,520
Release the hips and the thighs.
Relax the calves all the way 

40
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:52,740
down to the ankles. 
Allow the entire body to let go 

41
00:07:53,460 --> 00:08:14,360
and totally relax. 
There's nowhere to go. 

42
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,680
You are exactly where you're 
supposed to be. 

43
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:41,500
Take this verse with you. 
I alone know the plans I have 

44
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:47,340
for you, plans to bring about 
the future you hope for. 

45
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,720
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

46
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,560
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

47
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,440
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

48
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,400
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

49
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

50
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,240
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

51
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:41,440
Take care and we'll see you 
again to Morrow with hope, 

52
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800
mindfulness, and prayer.
