God Walks Among Us

Meditation transcript

Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.

0:01Let's begin by loosening the shoulders and the chest.

0:10And when you feel ready, just allow the eyes to slowly close.

0:23Bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer, "I will live in them and walk among them.

0:38I will be their God and they will be my people." And again, "I will live in them and walk among them.

0:59I will be their God and they will be my people." Now, bring your awareness to the space around the body.

1:29Notice any sensations on the skin.

1:41Feel the clothes on the skin.

1:48Feel the temperature of the room.

2:05Listen to the sounds in the room with a nice easy focus.

2:35Begin to gently notice the breath.

2:49Notice the rise and the fall of the breath.

3:01The air moving in and the air moving out.

3:14Without even having to think about it, it just happens.

3:19The breath breathes itself.

3:37Follow the breath in through the nostrils and into the chest and the abdomen.

3:50Follow the breath back out.

4:07Feel the inhale and relax.

4:14Allow the exhale and let go.

4:40Bring your attention to any emotions you're carrying with you in the body.

4:55Not placing judgment on the feelings or engaging with them, just noticing them.

5:08Taking note of the emotions and then letting them go.

5:38Begin to notice that deeper sense of calm beneath those emotions.

6:07Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place where you feel loved and taken care of.

6:36This is a place of safety and acceptance.

6:48God loves you and wants you to feel loved.

6:55He wants you to feel a sense of security in him.

7:14In this place of safety, begin to notice how your body feels, consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to calm your mind.

7:58For a moment or two, relax and notice how you feel in this place.

8:23If the mind wanders off, that's okay.

8:29When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this place of love and safety.

8:56Surrendering all of your worried thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your responsibilities.

9:09Just relaxing and releasing, letting go.

9:47Allow your awareness to rest with the presence of God.

10:08Take this verse with you, "I will live in them and walk among them.

10:17I will be their God, and they will be my people." God, I know you're always with me.

10:38Thank you for all of your blessings.

10:43Help me to relax and let go in your presence.

10:50I trust your plan for my life.
