0:01Begin by getting comfortable, and when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.
0:20As your body begins to relax, allow your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer.
0:32"No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." Again, "No one has ever seen,
1:00no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." Now bring your attention to the breath, taking some nice, slow,
1:33deep, full breaths.
1:44In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.
2:13Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.
2:22And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.
2:36Let the breath be natural.
2:39Let the breath naturally relax the body.
2:59Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.
3:09And feel the body relax with each exhale.
3:47Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.
4:01As you breathe, allow the face to soften and let go.
4:19Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.
4:43Just relaxing and releasing.
5:09Now, let go of the breath.
5:15Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.
5:33Now bring your attention to the way the body feels.
5:51Notice your breath.
6:03Allow the inhales to expand the body.
6:11Notice how the exhales make you feel.
6:33Feel the body relax and become heavier.
6:54Relax the corners of the eyes.
7:10Soften the forehead down the front of the face.
7:24Allow the neck to relax and the shoulders to fall away from the ears.
7:48Relax the temples.
8:04Feel the weight of the body so the arms become heavy.
8:24The legs are becoming heavy.
8:35Feel the bones become heavy.
9:04Letting the breath become natural.
9:26Allow the whole body to soften and release.
9:55Now give yourself a moment to relax and totally let go.
10:18Take this verse with you, "No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." God,
10:49I know you're always with me.
10:53Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:58Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
11:05I trust your plan for my life.
