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: There you will look for the Lord your God, and if you search for Him with all your heart, you will
0:46find Him.
0:55And again, there you will look for the Lord your God, and if you search for Him with all your heart, you will find Him.
1:19Now, take some nice deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
1:55Just watching the breath.
2:04Watching the rise and the fall of the chest.
2:26Listening to the sounds of your breath.
2:49Notice your feelings and emotions.
3:00Just taking note of them, and then coming back to the feeling of the breath.
3:41And now bringing your attention to the heart.
3:56Let your awareness settle onto the heartbeat.
4:21Allow your awareness to fall and move inward, finding that place where you feel loved.
4:59Feel that sense of natural peace that can only be found in God's presence.
5:26Bring your awareness to the space around the body.
5:39Notice any sensations on the skin.
5:51Feel the clothes on the skin.
5:57Feel the temperature of the room.
6:19Listen to the sounds in the room, with a nice easy focus.
6:49Begin to gently notice the breath.
7:03Notice the rise and the fall of the breath.
7:15The air moving in, and the air moving out.
7:28Without even having to think about it, it just happens.
7:33The breath breathes itself.
7:55Follow the breath in through the nostrils and into the chest and the abdomen.
8:07Follow the breath back out.
8:25Feel the inhale and relax.
8:31Allow the exhale, and let go.
8:57This is a safe place.
9:01There's no need to rush.
9:05God is watching over you, and He loves you.
9:15There's no goal.
9:18There's no destination.
9:45Allow your awareness to rest with the presence of God.
10:05Take this verse with you.
10:10"There you will look for the Lord, your God, and if you search for Him with all your heart, you will find Him." God, I know you're always with me.
10:36Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:41Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:48I trust your plan for my life.
