1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,960
Daily life comes with a lot of 
stress. 

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,160
It's natural to get caught up in
your thoughts as you go through 

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,480
your daily life. 
Whether your life is really busy

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,960
or not so busy at all, the 
stress of life can cause worry. 

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,480
Either way, it's important to 
remember that these thoughts and

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,800
feelings are just that, just 
thoughts and feelings. 

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,120
You have the power to change 
these things when you live in 

8
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,080
the present moment with God, 
Worries and anxieties become 

9
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:56,080
smaller. 
When you feel ready, go ahead 

10
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,920
and get comfortable in your 
position, really allowing the 

11
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:11,000
body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,880
eyes slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

13
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,920
first. 
If you make the Most High your 

14
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,600
dwelling, then no harm will 
befall you. 

15
00:01:38,210 --> 00:01:45,250
Again, if you make the Most High
your dwelling, then no harm will

16
00:01:45,250 --> 00:02:03,690
befall you 
with a gradual ease. 

17
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:13,450
Take a nice big breath. 
Be intentional with the breath. 

18
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Big deep inhales and nice long 
exhales relax and settle into 

19
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:43,960
your body with each breath. 
Allow the muscles to soften and 

20
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:56,120
let go. 
Feel that sense of gravity and 

21
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:04,680
weight in the body. 
You're just uncovering the 

22
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,400
natural calm that's always 
accessible through God. 

23
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:26,590
Now with ease, bring your 
awareness to the sounds in the 

24
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:36,560
room. 
Just listening to the sounds 

25
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:47,720
with easy curiosity, not placing
judgement on the sounds, just 

26
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,360
noticing the sounds and 
accepting them as part of this 

27
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:08,320
practice. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

28
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,080
it's OK. 
When you notice the thoughts, 

29
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,480
gently bring your awareness back
to the sounds. 

30
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:50,920
Just noticing and listening. 
Now for a moment or two, let 

31
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,120
your awareness go where it wants
to go. 

32
00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:11,930
When you feel comfortable, bring
your attention to the feeling of

33
00:05:11,930 --> 00:05:21,370
the body. 
Make sure you aren't holding any

34
00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:39,800
stress or anxiety in the body. 
Consciously begin to scan the 

35
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,320
body and make sure everything is
comfortable and relaxed. 

36
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Take a few natural deep breaths.
Release any emotions or feelings

37
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,240
you brought with you to this 
practice. 

38
00:06:29,710 --> 00:06:46,920
Let God handle what you cannot. 
Relax the body a little more 

39
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:58,930
with each out breath. 
Simply let go and rest in the 

40
00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:14,760
presence of God. 
Feel the space around the body. 

41
00:07:23,620 --> 00:07:27,260
Appreciate the sounds in the 
room. 

42
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,520
Just listening and experiencing 
the feeling of breathing. 

43
00:07:53,650 --> 00:08:00,010
If you notice any resistance in 
the body, come back to the 

44
00:08:00,010 --> 00:08:04,450
breath and allow that tension to
release. 

45
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:33,580
You are safe, 
take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:41,260
If you make the Most High your 
dwelling then no harm will 

47
00:08:41,260 --> 00:09:00,920
befall you. 
Gently bring your awareness back

48
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,920
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

49
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,760
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

50
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,040
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

51
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,840
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

52
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,440
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

53
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,520
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
