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"God sent His Son into the world, not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him." And again, "God sent His Son into the world, not to
0:57judge the world, but to save the world through Him." Now, let's relax the muscles.
1:18Start with the hands, letting go of the tension in the hands.
1:30Let the palms open and relax each finger.
1:38Let your grip relax.
1:47Let the arms relax and the joints release, the shoulders falling away from the ears.
2:10Feel the weight of the body.
2:19And now to the legs.
2:24Relaxing and letting go.
2:33Allow the legs to be heavy.
2:44Allow the muscles to completely relax, almost like they're melting.
3:07If you need a deep breath, take it.
3:13Keep it easy and natural.
3:23Notice how the breath changes the way you feel.
3:46Everything is perfectly how it should be.
3:57Let your mind relax.
4:03You are safe.
4:14Notice any feelings that you're having in the body.
4:22Not judging, just noticing.
4:41Allow yourself to release those feelings of tightness and tension.
5:14And now, for a moment or two, let go of any focus.
5:24Just allow yourself to be.
5:54Notice how good it feels just to be here in this moment.
6:20Take a few nice big, deep breaths in.
6:43Allow your body and mind to relax.
7:05Nothing else matters right now.
7:09There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to do.
7:17Here you are.
7:42Allow your body to relax and feel the calm of God's presence.
8:22The thoughts may take you away, and that's okay.
8:28Don't resist the thoughts.
8:31Don't force them back.
8:35Be friendly with your thoughts.
8:41When it feels natural, come back to the feeling of relaxation in the body.
9:17Now, without changing the breath, notice the quiet sound of your breathing.
9:49Effortlessly, rest into the arms of God.
10:08Take this verse with you, "God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him." God, I know you're always with
10:38me.
10:41Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:46Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:53I trust your plan for my life.
