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, "With his love, he will calm all your fears." And again, "With his love, he will calm all your fears."
1:02Bring your attention to the heartbeat.
1:11Allow its rhythm to relax your body, letting the arms and legs become heavy.
1:40Now bring your awareness to the top of the head.
1:46Allow the head to soften all the way down the face, softening the skin on the face and the eyes.
2:26Soften the throat and the back of the neck.
2:49Soften the collarbone, the shoulders, and the arms, releasing the elbows.
3:29Let the wrists and the hands relax, softening the chest and the stomach, releasing the hips and the thighs, the knees.
4:23Relax the calves down to the ankles.
4:45Now bring your attention to the breath, just noticing the inhale and the exhale, taking some nice, slow, deep, full breaths.
5:38In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.
6:08Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.
6:17And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.
6:36Let the breath be natural.
6:40Let the breath naturally relax the body.
6:59Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.
7:09And feel the body relax with each exhale.
7:47Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.
8:26Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.
8:50Just relaxing and releasing.
9:15Now, let go of the breath.
9:21Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.
9:29Simply let go.
9:46Take this verse with you, "With His love, He will calm all your fears." God, I know you're always with me.
10:11Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:16Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:23I trust your plan for my life.
