0:01Let's start by taking a few nice deep breaths.
0:12And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close, like the sun sets.
0:26As your breath begins to relax your body, allow your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer: With all your heart, rely on Him to guide you, and He
0:45will lead you in every decision you make.
0:56And again, with all your heart, rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make.
1:19Now bring your attention to the way the body feels.
