Meditation transcript
Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:00Many of us grew up with the idea that God was sitting in heaven, writing down every bad thing that we ever did.
0:10But what God tells us He actually does is not writing, but erasing.
0:17As soon as we can add another item to our list of wrongs, God is erasing it.
0:24This is because God is love, and love keeps no record of wrongs.
0:33Go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:45And when you feel ready, let your eyes slowly close.
0:56Now, take a moment to consider this verse: "Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset, that's how far you've removed our guilt from us, the same way a loving
1:13father feels toward his children." And again, "Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset, that's how far you've removed our guilt from us, the same way a loving father
1:38feels toward his children." Now, bring your attention to the way it feels when you breathe.
2:12Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.
2:22And feel the body relax with each exhale.
2:42In through the nose.
2:45Feel the body expand, and then slowly exhale.
3:08Let the breath be natural.
3:12Let the breath naturally relax the body.
3:30Allow the face and the neck to soften.
3:47Allow the forehead to relax and the shoulders to fall away from the ears.
4:04Relax the body, and allow the chair to hold the body up.
4:21Just relaxing and letting the body unwind.
4:37Simply let go.
4:57Now, bring your awareness to the feeling of the body.
5:15Maybe there's some muscle tightness or stress lingering in the body.
5:35Slowly bring your attention to those areas of tightness and relax them piece by piece.
6:01Feel the weight of your body in the chair.
6:17As your body begins to relax, allow your mind to let go.
6:29Give yourself permission to start fresh.
6:47What is done, is done.
6:51All you have is this moment.
7:07This is a safe place.
7:11Release your thoughts to God.
7:27When it feels comfortable, take a few nice, deep breaths.
7:48There's no way to do this wrong.
7:57If the thoughts take you away, that's okay.
8:03When it feels comfortable, bring your awareness back to the feeling of the breath.
8:25Take this verse with you.
8:29"Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset, that's how far you've removed our guilt from us.
8:38The same way a loving father feels toward his children." Gently bring your awareness back to the feeling of the body.
9:00Notice the weight of the body on the chair.
9:04And when you feel ready, allow your eyes to open and take a nice deep breath.
9:14Notice how your breath changes the way you feel.
9:19I hope you feel a little more in touch with God.
9:25We'll see you again next time, with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
