0:01Let's get started by allowing the body to relax.
0:10And when you're ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
0:22Let your awareness rest with this verse and prayer, "But Christ proved God's passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly." Again,
0:52"But Christ proved God's passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly." Now bring your attention to the breath, taking some nice,
1:23slow, deep, full breaths.
1:36In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.
2:06Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.
2:15And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.
2:28Let the breath be natural.
2:32Let the breath naturally relax the body.
2:51Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale, and feel the body relax with each exhale.
3:39Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.
3:53As you breathe, allow the face to soften and let go.
4:09Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.
4:36Just relaxing and releasing.
5:01Now, let go of the breath.
5:07Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.
5:41Now bring your awareness to the feeling of the body.
5:49Maybe there's some muscle tightness or stress lingering in the body.
5:58Slowly begin to let those muscles relax and release.
6:14Give yourself permission to let go of today.
6:22What is done is done.
6:28All you have is this moment.
6:49Take a few nice, deep breaths.
7:00Allow your breathing to relax the mind.
7:10Feel the body become heavier.
7:23Sinking into your bed, letting go of all that stress in the body and the mind.
7:49Inhale, feel the chest rise.
7:57And exhale, feel the chest fall.
8:11Let the breath find a natural rhythm.
8:37Begin to notice the sounds in the room.
8:44Not resisting the sounds, just accepting them as they are.
8:53You are just the observer.
9:10If the thoughts take you away, remember, that's okay.
9:18There's no way to do this wrong.
9:26When it feels comfortable, bring your awareness back to the sounds.
9:47And for a moment or two, effortlessly allow your awareness to rest.
10:10Take this verse with you: But Christ proved God's passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly.
10:36God, I know you're always with me.
10:42Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:47Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:54I trust your plan for my life.
