0:01Go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:16And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.
0:29Let your mind rest with this verse and prayer, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
0:42There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain." And again, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
1:03There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain." Now, take some nice deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth.
1:59Just watching the breath.
2:08Watching the rise and the fall of the chest.
2:36Listening to the sounds of your breath.
3:11Notice your feelings and emotions.
3:22Just taking note of them, and then coming back to the feeling of the breath.
4:02And now, bring your attention to the heart.
4:22Let your awareness settle onto the heartbeat.
4:47Allow your awareness to fall and move inward, finding that place where you feel loved.
5:33Feel that sense of natural peace that can only be found in God's presence.
5:59Remember, when you come near to God, He will come near to you.
6:28Now, take a moment to be grateful for this opportunity to relax.
6:43Notice how good it feels just to be here in this moment.
7:09Take a few nice big, deep breaths in.
7:31Allow your body and mind to relax.
7:54Nothing else matters right now.
7:58There's nowhere to go, there's nothing to do.
8:06Here you are.
8:30Allow your body to relax and feel the calm of God's presence.
9:11The thoughts may take you away, and that's okay.
9:17Don't resist the thoughts.
9:20Don't force them back.
9:23Be friendly with your thoughts.
9:29When it feels natural, come back to the feeling of relaxation in the body.
10:06Now, without changing the breath, notice the quiet sound of your breathing.
10:32Take this verse with you, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
10:41There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain." God, I know you're always with me.
11:06Thank you for all of your blessings.
11:10Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
11:18I trust your plan for my life.
