Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:00Past hurts have a way of sneaking into our present.
0:05The past is heavy, so let go of it.
0:09God wants you to live in the present moment.
0:13He wants you to live in His love so that He can heal you.
0:19New life lies ahead.
0:22God has a plan for your life.
0:28Okay, let's go ahead and get started by taking a moment to notice your breath.
0:40Just the rise and the fall of the chest.
0:48And when you're ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
0:59Now take a moment to consider this verse: He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
1:17And again, He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
1:39Now, consciously begin to relax your muscles.
1:52Feel the weight of gravity on your body as the chair holds you up.
2:11Begin to notice how the body feels.
2:27Just scanning the body from the head down to the toes.
2:40Consciously relaxing any areas of tightness or tension.
2:54Take a few big, deep breaths in.
3:04Notice how the breath changes the body.
3:15Just relaxing and releasing, allowing your body to totally let go.
3:33If the thoughts take you away, that's okay.
3:39Thoughts are a normal part of meditation.
3:44You aren't holding onto the thoughts or the feelings, you're just allowing them to bubble up and out.
3:59You're releasing those thoughts to God.
4:14Now, for a moment or two, allow your awareness to rest deeper into God's love.
4:41Bring your attention to the feeling of the breath.
4:55Let it settle into a natural rhythm, effortless and easy.
5:16Notice how good it feels just to breathe.
5:32With each inhale, let your body fill up with new life.
5:42With each exhale, release and let your body relax.
6:09Now, gently bring your attention to your emotions.
6:24Just noticing the feelings that you brought with you today.
6:44Not engaging with the emotions, just noticing them as an observer.
7:07Remember that you can leave those feelings right where they are.
7:20Just allow those thoughts to bubble up and out.
7:44Remember, today is a new day with new opportunities.
7:52God is working in your life.
8:09Take this verse with you: He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
8:30When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to the room.
8:37Just noticing the room with a gentle appreciation.
8:44And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly open.
8:50Take a moment to notice how you feel.
8:54I hope you feel a little more relaxed.
8:57We'll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
