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, "I give them eternal life and they will never perish." And again, "I give them eternal life and they will
0:51never perish." Now, let's relax the muscles.
1:10Start with the hands, letting go of the tension in the hands.
1:21Let the palms open and relax each finger.
1:29Let your grip relax.
1:39Let the arms relax and the joints release, the shoulders falling away from the ears.
2:02Feel the weight of the body.
2:11And now to the legs, relaxing and letting go.
2:25Allow the legs to be heavy.
2:35Allow the muscles to completely relax, almost like they're melting.
3:02There is nowhere to go, nowhere to be.
3:08You are here.
3:14Everything is perfectly how it should be.
3:25Let your mind relax.
3:31You are safe.
3:42Notice any feelings that you're having in the body, not judging, just noticing.
4:09Allow yourself to release those feelings of tightness and tension.
4:42And now, for a moment or two, let go of any focus.
4:52Just allow yourself to be.
5:18Now, take some nice deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth, just watching the breath.
6:10Watching the rise and the fall of the chest.
6:38Listening to the sounds of your breath.
7:04Notice your feelings and emotions.
7:15Just taking note of them, and then coming back to the feeling of the breath.
7:56And now, bring your attention to the heart.
8:11Let your awareness settle onto the heartbeat.
8:40Allow your awareness to fall and move inward, finding that place where you feel loved.
9:18Feel that sense of natural peace that can only be found in God's presence.
9:40Remember, when you come near to God, He will come near to you.
10:01Take this verse with you, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish." God, I know you're always with me.
10:30Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:35Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:42I trust your plan for my life.
