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.
0:32"We all experience times of testing, but God will be faithful to you." And again, "We all experience times of testing, but God will be faithful to you." Now, let's
1:12relax the muscles.
1:15Start with the hands, letting go of the tension in the hands.
1:27Let the palms open and relax each finger.
1:35Let your grip relax.
1:44Let the arms relax and the joints release, the shoulders falling away from the ears.
2:07Feel the weight of the body.
2:16And now to the legs.
2:22Relaxing and letting go.
2:30Allow the legs to be heavy.
2:41Allow the muscles to completely relax, almost like they're melting.
3:07There is nowhere to go, nowhere to be.
3:13You are here.
3:19Everything is perfectly how it should be.
3:31Let your mind relax.
3:37You are safe.
3:47Notice any feelings that you're having in the body.
3:55Not judging, just noticing.
4:14Allow yourself to release those feelings of tightness and tension.
4:48And now, for a moment or two, let go of any focus.
4:58Just allow yourself to be.
5:24Now, take some nice deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth.
6:06Just watching the breath.
6:15Watching the rise and the fall of the chest.
6:43Listening to the sounds of your breath.
7:10Notice your feelings and emotions.
7:21Just taking note of them and then coming back to the feeling of the breath.
8:01And now bringing your attention to the heart.
8:15Let your awareness settle onto the heartbeat.
8:46Allow your awareness to fall and move inward, finding that place where you feel loved.
9:23Feel that sense of natural peace that can only be found in God's presence.
9:45Remember, when you come near to God, He will come near to you.
10:07Take this verse with you, "We all experience times of testing, but God will be faithful to you." 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.
