1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,360
As you meditate today, let your 
heart rest on the blessings that

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:19,110
God has given you. 
As you pray, allow yourself to 

3
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:22,390
see all the ways your life is a 
gift. 

4
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,200
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable. 

5
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:44,760
Take a few nice big deep 
breaths, and when you're ready, 

6
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:56,440
allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this 

7
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,200
verse. 
Be confident my heart, because 

8
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:18,800
the Lord has been good to me. 
And again, be confident my 

9
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,280
heart, because the Lord has been
good to me. 

10
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,760
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

11
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:57,840
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

12
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:08,840
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

13
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,680
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

14
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:29,400
your surroundings. 
Notice the air on the skin. 

15
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:47,240
Feel the chair beneath you. 
Pay attention to the position of

16
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,920
your body. 
Make sure that you're 

17
00:02:50,920 --> 00:03:05,300
comfortable. 
Notice the state of your mind. 

18
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:13,460
Does the mind feel calm? 
Does it feel restless? 

19
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:38,290
Both are OK, just a simple easy 
noticing, just noticing the 

20
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:42,490
space. 
Almost like you're an observer. 

21
00:03:51,210 --> 00:03:58,130
Notice the gentle sound of your 
breath coming in and going out. 

22
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:13,080
Deepening the inhales and 
extending the exhales, letting 

23
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:27,430
the body rest, 
just relax. 

24
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:47,320
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

25
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

26
00:05:05,690 --> 00:05:13,370
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

27
00:05:13,370 --> 00:05:27,600
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

28
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:36,560
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

29
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

30
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,040
This is all that matters right 
now. 

31
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Whenever you need to let go of 
let it go, release it to God. 

32
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:25,820
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

33
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,440
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

34
00:06:45,440 --> 00:07:01,970
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

35
00:07:04,130 --> 00:07:18,730
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

36
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:23,800
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

37
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:31,360
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

38
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:47,610
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

39
00:07:47,610 --> 00:08:06,520
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

40
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Be confident my heart, because 
the Lord has been good to me. 

41
00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:31,460
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

42
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:37,620
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

43
00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:45,920
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open, Take 

44
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,440
another big deep breath in and 
let it out with a sigh. 

45
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

46
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,840
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

47
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,760
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
