0:01Let's begin by consciously turning off the body.
0:10And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close, like the sun sets.
0:22Calmly, bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer.
0:31"Never walk away from someone who deserves help.
0:36Your hand is God's hand for that person." And again.
0:50"Never walk away from someone who deserves help.
0:56Your hand is God's hand for that person." Bring your attention to any emotions you're carrying with you in the body.
1:23Not placing judgment on the feelings or engaging with them, just noticing them.
1:34Taking note of the emotions and then letting them go.
1:52Begin to notice that deeper sense of calm beneath those emotions.
2:13Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place where you feel loved and taken care of.
2:33This is a place of safety and acceptance.
2:46God loves you and wants you to feel loved.
2:53He wants you to feel a sense of security in him.
3:12In this place of safety, begin to notice how your body feels.
3:27Consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to calm your mind.
3:50For a moment or two, relax and notice how you feel in this place.
4:08If the mind wanders off, that's okay.
4:14When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this place of love and safety.
4:36Surrendering all of your worried thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your responsibilities.
4:49Just relaxing and releasing, letting go.
5:14And now, let your mind go where it wants to go.
5:53Take a few nice, big, deep breaths in.
6:15Notice how good it feels just to be here in this moment.
6:33Allow your body and mind to relax.
6:56Nothing else matters right now.
7:00There's nowhere to go.
7:04There's nothing to do.
7:08Here you are.
7:38Allow your body to relax and feel the calm of God's presence.
8:22The thoughts may take you away, and that's okay.
8:29Don't resist the thoughts.
8:32Don't force them back.
8:35Be friendly with your thoughts.
8:41When it feels natural, come back to the feeling of relaxation in the body.
9:22Now, without changing the breath, notice the quiet sound of your breathing.
9:53Effortlessly, rest into the arms of God.
10:13Take this verse with you.
10:18Never walk away from someone who deserves help.
10:23Your hand is God's hand for that person.
10:39God, I know you're always with me.
10:45Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:50Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:57I trust your plan for my life.
