0:00By taking the time to meditate and focus on God, you're allowing God's spirit to change your own.
0:12Without having to do anything, the world will slowly begin to look different.
0:20When you see the world through a lens of love, you can't help but to be thankful.
0:32Let's begin by allowing the body to become heavy.
0:41And as you begin to relax, allow your eyes to close.
0:52Now, take a moment to consider this verse, "For the Lord grants wisdom.
1:03From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." And again, "For the Lord grants wisdom.
1:22From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Now, gently bring your awareness to the breath.
1:47Allow your breath to deepen and fill the lungs.
1:58Big, deep breath in and then taking twice as long on the exhale.
2:12Let the inhale come easily and effortlessly, and then exhale, controlling the breath.
2:29Allow yourself to be here in this moment.
2:39This is all that matters right now.
2:47Whatever you need to let go of, let it go.
2:54Release it to God.
3:06Today is a new day with new opportunities.
3:20Allow your breath to renew your spirit and connect you to your Creator, who loves you.
3:38Deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.
3:54Remember, this is a place of love.
4:00Let this practice be whatever you need it to be.
4:06God's calming presence is always accessible to you.
4:19Let your awareness rest in the loving presence of God.
4:42With a gentle curiosity, begin to notice the breath.
5:01Make the breath deep and full of life.
5:07Allow that fresh air to fill up the lungs, and then relax the body as you exhale.
5:36Let your body become heavy as your mind continues to relax.
5:45You are exactly where you need to be.
6:06And now, come to the heartbeat.
6:12Maybe even listen for its rhythm.
6:28Just relaxing and releasing.
6:42If the thoughts take you away, that's okay.
6:49When it's easy, bring your awareness back to the heartbeat.
7:08Just listen to your heartbeat and the gentle sound of your breath.
7:28Let your breath act as an anchor to this moment and this practice.
7:46With each breath, allow yourself to rest further into the calm of God's love.
8:10Take this verse with you, for the Lord grants wisdom.
8:18From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
8:34When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to the room.
8:41Just noticing the room with a gentle appreciation.
8:48And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly open.
8:54Take a moment to notice how you feel.
8:58I hope you feel a little more relaxed.
9:01We'll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
