1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,520
One day, everything that we 
strive for will be gone. 

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,160
Everything that you worry about 
and stress over will come to an 

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,360
end, but you will not. 
You are as eternal as the stars 

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,680
created to love and to live 
forever. 

5
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,880
Take this moment right now to 
pause and think about what 

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:36,760
matters most. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:43,800
comfortable. 
Take a few nice big deep 

8
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:53,800
breaths, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

9
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

10
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:10,200
Three things will last forever, 
faith, hope, and love. 

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,560
And the greatest of these is 
love. 

12
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:25,890
And again, three things will 
last forever. 

13
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:33,370
Faith, hope, and love. 
And the greatest of these is 

14
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:51,480
love. 
Now bring your attention to the 

15
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,640
way the breath feels and take a 
few deep breaths. 

16
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:14,030
Gently expand the chest on the 
inhale and then let the body 

17
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:29,400
soften on the exhale. 
With each breath, there's new 

18
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:45,940
life entering the body. 
As you breathe, begin to soften 

19
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:49,620
the body, starting at the top of
the head. 

20
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,680
Allow the shoulders to fall away
from the ears. 

21
00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:13,360
Feel gravity push the body down 
into the chair. 

22
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:25,890
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the space around the body. 

23
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:45,250
Feel the air on the skin. 
Notice the temperature of the 

24
00:03:45,250 --> 00:04:00,400
air. 
And now gently move your 

25
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:13,650
awareness to the heartbeat. 
Allow the rhythm of the 

26
00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:27,110
heartbeat to relax the body. 
Let your awareness rest deeper 

27
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:36,840
in the presence of God. 
Simply let go. 

28
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Now consciously begin to relax 
your muscles. 

29
00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:11,110
Begin to notice how the body 
feels 

30
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:27,620
just scanning the body from the 
head down to the toes. 

31
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Consciously relaxing any areas 
of tightness or tension. 

32
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:32,310
Take a few big deep breaths in. 
Notice how the breath changes 

33
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:50,040
the body, 
just relaxing and releasing, 

34
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,200
allowing your body to totally 
let go. 

35
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,680
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

36
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Thoughts are a normal part of 
meditation. 

37
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,280
You aren't holding on to the 
thoughts or the feelings, you're

38
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,240
just allowing them to bubble up 
and out. 

39
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:41,530
You're releasing those thoughts 
to God. 

40
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Now for a moment or two, allow 
your awareness to rest deeper 

41
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:19,040
into God's love. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Three things will last forever. 
Faith, hope, and love. 

43
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
And the greatest of these is 
love. 

44
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:52,320
Slowly bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

45
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:01,720
ready, allow your eyes to open. 
Take a moment to notice how your

46
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,880
body feels. 
I hope you feel a little better.

47
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,000
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with Hope, Mindfulness and 

48
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,600
prayer. 
Remember, be easy with yourself.
