Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:00It's hard to hear a whisper in a crowd.
0:03You have to somehow isolate yourself from the noise to be able to hear it.
0:09God speaks in whispers.
0:12If you can isolate yourself away from the distractions and the noise of life, you can hear Him.
0:19Just sit with the quiet.
0:22What He's saying is, "I knew you from the beginning and I will love you forever." Okay.
0:32Let's begin by getting comfortable and taking a few nice, deep breaths.
0:42As you begin to feel your body releasing, allow your eyes to slowly close.
0:55Take a moment to consider this verse: "I stand silently to listen for the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me." And
1:18again, "I stand silently to listen for the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me." With ease, bring your attention to the
1:48breath.
1:54Take a few nice, deep breaths.
2:04Make them feel easy and effortless.
2:22Feel life enter your body as you breathe in, and then release your tension as you breathe out.
2:48Inhale.
2:50Feel how the body expands.
2:55Then slowly exhale, feeling the body fall.
3:14Feel the air as it travels in through the nose, and follow the air back out through the mouth.
3:31Allow each breath to soften the chest and relax the shoulders.
3:41Begin to scan the body, from the head to the toe, relaxing the body piece by piece.
3:58There's no way to do this wrong.
4:09And now, for a few moments, allow your mind to do what it wants to do.
4:21If it wants to think, then let it think.
4:27And if it wants to rest, then let it rest.
4:46Bring your attention to any tightness in the body.
4:57Just noticing how the body feels.
5:16Start by relaxing the hands, letting go of any tension in the hands.
5:38Allow the arms to totally relax, letting go at the elbows and the wrists.
6:01Let the shoulders fall away from the ears.
6:18Let the legs become heavy.
6:29Allow the muscles to completely let go.
6:49Let your body totally relax and release.
7:06And now, if it feels comfortable, take a big, deep breath, letting the air fill up the body.
7:26Notice how the breath changes the way the body feels.
7:49And now, for a moment or two, let go of any focus, and just allow yourself to be.
8:14Take this verse with you: "I stand silently to listen for the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me." Gently bring your
8:41awareness back to the feeling of your breath.
8:46Listen to the sound of your breathing.
8:51And when you're ready, slowly open your eyes, and take another deep breath in.
9:01Give yourself a stretch, and sit back and relax.
9:06Remember to take a moment to check in, and notice how you feel.
9:13I hope you feel better.
9:16Take care, and we'll see you again tomorrow, with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
