Meditation transcript
Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:01Love gives our heart assurance that everything will eventually turn out.
0:07It lets us know that regardless of the outcome, we are loved and we'll be taken care of.
0:16As you meditate, rest within and feel God's love.
0:22Feel that sense of protection and new life.
0:27Let it fill your heart with God's perfect love.
0:32Know that God is with you and that everything will be all right.
0:40When you feel ready, go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:55And when you're ready, let your eyes slowly close.
1:05Take a moment to consider this verse: "We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God." Again, "We know that God causes
1:32everything to work together for the good of those who love God." Now bring your attention to the position of the body.
2:03Make sure you can breathe in an open and natural way.
2:17Allow the chest to open and take a few nice, deep breaths.
2:29Let the breath fill the body up with life.
2:43With each breath, you're bringing your awareness into this moment.
2:57Relax and allow God to speak to you in the way that He wants.
3:13Let your thoughts go and allow your awareness to rest in this moment.
3:33If your thoughts wander off, that's okay.
3:39It's natural for the thoughts to drift.
3:53As best you can, leave those thoughts right where they are and come back to that feeling of your body.
4:12Our feelings and emotions can distract us from the natural calm of God's love.
4:24There isn't anything to discover.
4:29It's always been there.
4:38This is a safe place.
4:42God loves you.
4:57Gradually, and with ease, bring your awareness to rest on your breath.
5:13Feel the body rise with each inhale, and then allow your awareness to rest in a little more with each exhale.
5:45Notice how with each breath, the body feels a little calmer.
6:03Begin to notice the space around the body.
6:18Feel the contact of the body on the chair and your feet on the floor.
6:34When you feel comfortable, begin to scan the entire body to build up a picture of what the body feels like.
6:49Piece by piece, release any areas of tension.
7:02Let go of your stress.
7:05Let go of your anxiety.
7:11You are exactly where you're meant to be.
7:24Allow that natural rhythm of the breath to relax you.
7:45Let your breath guide you to a place of safety in the presence of God.
8:05You are accepted here.
8:09You are loved.
8:25Take this verse with you: "We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God." Gently bring your awareness back to the feeling
8:56of the body.
8:58Notice the weight of the body on the chair.
9:02And when you feel ready, allow your eyes to open and take a nice deep breath.
9:12Notice how your breath changes the way you feel.
9:17I hope you feel a little more in touch with God.
9:23We'll see you again next time, with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
