1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,000
You can't control what happens 
in your life, but you can choose

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,320
to have a healthy relationship 
with your feelings. 

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,360
Feelings will always come and 
go, but God will always be by 

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:29,910
your side. 
Accept your emotions as they are

5
00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:41,080
and leave the rest to God. 
Let's begin by allowing the body

6
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:52,360
to become heavy, and as you 
begin to relax, allow your eyes 

7
00:00:52,480 --> 00:01:00,640
to close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

8
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,400
this verse. 
The Lord is close to those who 

9
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,760
have suffered disappointment. 
He saves those who are 

10
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:24,720
discouraged. 
And again, the Lord is close to 

11
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,960
those who have suffered 
disappointment. 

12
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,680
He saves those who are 
discouraged. 

13
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Gently bring your awareness to 
any sensations you're feeling. 

14
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Just noticing the sensations on 
the body. 

15
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:11,260
Maybe it's the air on the skin 
or the weight of the body in the

16
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:21,520
chair. 
Just noticing and welcoming the 

17
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000
sensations as part of the 
meditation. 

18
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:39,630
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest as you breathe. 

19
00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:54,970
Follow the breath and notice how
it changes your body. 

20
00:02:58,850 --> 00:03:07,920
The inhales expanding the body 
and filling it up with life, and

21
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,840
the exhales relaxing the body, 
letting go. 

22
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:32,630
Follow the breath as it comes in
through the nose and then goes 

23
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:47,040
back out through the mouth. 
You don't have to do anything. 

24
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:56,280
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

25
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,520
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

26
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,959
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

27
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

28
00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:54,450
When it feels natural. 
Let's take a nice big breath. 

29
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:09,480
With each breath, allow the body
to become softer and more 

30
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:19,920
relaxed. 
Almost like a wave of relaxation

31
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:34,970
washing over the body. 
The breath fills up the body, 

32
00:05:36,570 --> 00:05:42,650
and then it gives way to that 
natural relaxation that's right 

33
00:05:42,730 --> 00:06:02,920
under the surface. 
Now let's turn our awareness to 

34
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:13,410
how the body feels. 
Just examining the body with an 

35
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:29,220
easy curiosity. 
Allow your shoulders to relax 

36
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:38,920
and fall away from the ears. 
Relax your arms and allow your 

37
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:50,400
hands to open and let go. 
Allow your temples and face to 

38
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:58,240
relax. 
Let the throat and the neck 

39
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:07,760
soften. 
Allow your breath to deepen as 

40
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:17,800
your awareness rests deeper, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

41
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:34,950
You are here and everything is 
OK God is with you. 

42
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:58,200
And now for a moment or two, let
go of any focus and allow 

43
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:16,050
yourself to simply be. 
Take this verse with you. 

44
00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:22,970
The Lord is close to those who 
have suffered disappointment. 

45
00:08:23,890 --> 00:08:26,650
He saves those who are 
discouraged. 

46
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:45,080
When it feels natural, bring 
your awareness back to the room,

47
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,560
just noticing the room with a 
gentle appreciation. 

48
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,720
And when you're ready, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

49
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

50
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,720
We'll see you again to Morrow 
for another day of hope.
