0:02Begin by taking a few nice deep breaths.
0:14And as your body begins to relax, allow your eyes to slowly close.
0:29Bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer.
0:36"We are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God's perfect plan." And again, "We are convinced that every detail of our lives
1:06is continually woven together to fit into God's perfect plan." Bring your attention to any emotions you're carrying with you in the body, not placing judgment on the feelings or
1:37engaging with them, just noticing them.
1:46Taking note of the emotions and then letting them go.
2:02Begin to notice that deeper sense of calm beneath those emotions.
2:24Maybe even begin to visualize a place that feels safe, a place where you feel loved and taken care of.
2:44This is a place of safety and acceptance.
2:56God loves you and wants you to feel loved.
3:04He wants you to feel a sense of security in him.
3:23In this place of safety, begin to notice how your body feels.
3:38Consciously relaxing the body and allowing God's presence to calm your mind.
4:00For a moment or two, relax and notice how you feel in this place.
4:19If the mind wanders off, that's okay.
4:25When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to this place of love and safety.
4:46Surrendering all of your worried thoughts, your stresses, and maybe even your responsibilities.
4:59Just relaxing and releasing, letting go.
5:25Now, bring your attention to the breath.
5:42Let's take some nice deep breaths.
5:59Make them feel easy and effortless.
6:08...
6:08in through the nose and out through the mouth, feeling life enter your body as you breathe in.
6:34Inhale, feel how the body expands.
6:41Then slowly exhale, releasing tension as you go.
7:03Feel the air as it travels in through the nose, and feel the body fall with each exhale.
7:45With each breath, allow the chest and shoulders to soften and relax.
8:18Notice how the body feels.
8:30Allow your breath to soften and release the tension in your body.
8:58Just relaxing and releasing.
9:21There's no way to do this wrong.
9:26The breath breathes itself.
9:45And now, let your mind go where it wants to go.
10:05Take this verse with you.
10:09"We are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God's perfect plan." God, I know You're always with me.
10:38Thank You for all of Your blessings.
10:42Help me to relax and let go in Your presence.
10:50I trust Your plan for my life.
