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.
0:32Love never comes to an end.
0:43Again, love never comes to an end.
1:00Bring your attention to the heartbeat.
1:10Allow its rhythm to relax your body, letting the arms and legs become heavy.
1:38Now bring your awareness to the top of the head.
1:45Allow the head to soften all the way down the face, softening the skin on the face and the eyes.
2:25Soften the throat and the back of the neck.
2:47Soften the collarbone, the shoulders, and the arms, releasing the elbows.
3:27Let the wrists and the hands relax, softening the chest and the stomach, releasing the hips and the thighs, the knees.
4:21Relax the calves down to the ankles.
4:44Now bring your attention to the breath, just noticing the inhale and the exhale, taking some nice, slow, deep, full breaths.
5:37In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.
6:06Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.
6:15And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.
6:35Let the breath be natural.
6:38Let the breath naturally relax the body.
6:58Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.
7:08And feel the body relax with each exhale.
7:46Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.
8:24Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.
8:48Just relaxing and releasing.
9:14Now, let go of the breath.
9:20Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.
9:28Simply let go.
9:44Take this verse with you, "Love never comes to an end." God, I know you're always with me.
10:09Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:14Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:21I trust your plan for my life.
