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.

0:31"There is no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God's passionate love." Again, "There is no power that could ever be found

0:56in the universe that can distance us from God's passionate love." Now bring your attention to the breath, taking some nice, slow, deep, full breaths.

1:36In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.

2:05Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.

2:14And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.

2:27Let the breath be natural.

2:31Let the breath naturally relax the body.

2:50Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.

3:01And feel the body relax with each exhale.

3:38Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.

3:53As you breathe, allow the face to soften and let go.

4:11Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.

4:35Just relaxing and releasing.

5:01Now, let go of the breath.

5:06Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.

5:35Bring your attention to any emotions you're carrying with you in the body.

5:46Not placing judgment on the feelings or engaging with them, just noticing them.

5:59Taking note of the emotions, and then letting them go.

6:18Begin to notice that deeper sense of calm beneath those emotions.

6:42Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place where you feel loved and taken care of.

7:06This is a place of safety and acceptance.

7:18God loves you and wants you to feel loved.

7:25He wants you to feel a sense of security in Him.

7:51Consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to calm your mind.

8:22For a moment or two, relax, and notice how you feel in this place.

8:41If the mind wanders off, that's okay.

8:47When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this place of love and safety.

9:08Surrendering all of your worried thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your responsibilities.

9:21Just relaxing and releasing.

9:28Letting go.

9:46And now, let your mind go where it wants to go.

10:07Take this verse with you, "There is no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God's passionate love." God, I know you're always

10:36with 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.
