0:00Remember that you are loved.
0:06No matter the opinion of the world, your life has eternal worth.
0:16Today, as you meditate, allow yourself to rest in the knowledge that you are loved by the one who created you.
0:34Go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:46And when you feel ready, let your eyes slowly close.
0:57Now, take a moment to consider this verse: Love never gives up on people.
1:07It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.
1:22Again, love never gives up on people.
1:29It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.
1:48With a gradual ease, take a nice big breath.
1:58Be intentional with the breath, big, deep inhales, and nice, long exhales.
2:16Relax, and settle into your body.
2:24With each breath, allow the muscles to soften and let go.
2:40Feel that sense of gravity and weight in the body.
2:49You're just uncovering the natural calm that's always accessible through God.
3:07Now, with ease, bring your awareness to the sounds in the room.
3:20Just listening to the sounds with an easy curiosity.
3:29Not placing judgment on the sounds, just noticing the sounds, and accepting them as part of this practice.
3:53If the thoughts take you away, it's okay.
3:58When you notice the thoughts, gently bring your awareness back to the sounds.
4:16Just noticing and listening.
4:33Now, for a moment or two, let your awareness go where it wants to go.
4:52When you feel comfortable, bring your attention to the feeling of the body.
5:05Make sure you aren't holding any stress or anxiety in the body.
5:23Consciously, begin to scan the body and make sure everything's comfortable and relaxed.
5:52Take a few natural, deep breaths.
5:59Release any emotions or feelings you brought with you to this practice.
6:16Let God handle what you cannot.
6:30Relax the body a little more with each out-breath.
6:42Simply let go, and rest in the presence of God.
6:58Feel the space around the body.
7:10Appreciate the sounds in the room.
7:24Just listening and experiencing the feeling of breathing.
7:40If you notice any resistance in the body, come back to the breath and allow that tension to release.
8:03You are safe.
8:18Take this verse with you: love never gives up on people.
8:26It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.
8:46Gently bring your awareness back to the feeling of the body.
8:52Notice the weight of the body on the chair.
8:56And when you feel ready, allow your eyes to open and take a nice deep breath.
9:06Notice how your breath changes the way you feel.
9:11I hope you feel a little more in touch with God.
9:17We'll see you again next time, with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
