0:01Let's get started by taking a moment just to be thankful for all the blessings in life.
0:16And when you're ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
0:30Take a moment to consider this verse and prayer.
0:35"The true children of God are those who let God's spirit lead them." And again, "The true children of God are those who let God's spirit lead them." Bring your
1:12attention to the heartbeat.
1:21Allow its rhythm to relax your body, letting the arms and legs become heavy.
1:49Now bring your awareness to the top of the head.
1:55Allow the head to soften all the way down the face.
2:12Softening the skin on the face and the eyes.
2:36Soften the throat and the back of the neck.
2:58Soften the collarbone, the shoulders, and the arms.
3:22Releasing the elbows.
3:38Let the wrists and the hands relax.
3:59Softening the chest and the stomach.
4:15Releasing the hips and the thighs.
4:21The knees.
4:32Relax the calves down to the ankles.
4:48Bring your attention back to the breath.
5:12Just noticing the inhale and the exhale.
5:46Notice how good it feels just to be here in this moment.
6:18Take a few nice big, deep breaths in.
6:45Allow your body and mind to relax.
7:07Nothing else matters right now.
7:12There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to do, here you are.
7:44Allow your body to relax and feel the calm of God's presence.
8:24The thoughts may take you away, and that's okay.
8:31Don't resist the thoughts.
8:34Don't force them back.
8:37Be friendly with your thoughts.
8:43When it feels natural, come back to the feeling of relaxation in the body.
9:19Now, without changing the breath, notice the quiet sound of your breathing.
9:51Effortlessly rest into the arms of God.
10:10Take this verse with you, "The true children of God are those who let God's spirit lead them." God, I know you're always with me.
10:39Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:44Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:51I trust your plan for my life.
