Meditation transcript
Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:01Let's start by taking a few nice, deep breaths.
0:12And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close, like the sun sets.
0:26As your breath begins to relax your body, allow your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer: Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.
0:51And again, Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.
1:10Now, bring your attention to the breath.
1:26Let's take some nice, deep breaths.
1:43Make them feel easy and effortless.
1:52In through the nose and out through the mouth, feeling life enter your body as you breathe in.
2:18Inhale, feel how the body expands.
2:25Then, slowly exhale, releasing tension as you go.
2:48Feel the air as it travels in through the nose and feel the body fall with each exhale.
3:29With each breath, allow the chest and shoulders to soften and relax.
4:03Notice how the body feels.
4:14Allow your breath to soften and release the tension in your body.
4:43Just relaxing and releasing.
5:05There's no way to do this wrong.
5:10The breath breathes itself.
5:33With an easy awareness, begin to bring your attention to the space in the room.
5:45Not examining it, just sensing it.
6:02Notice your place in the room.
6:10Just observing.
6:28Listen to the sounds in the room.
6:33Maybe it's a quiet room, or maybe it's not.
6:39Both are okay.
6:58You're just listening and enjoying the sounds, not wishing to change or get rid of the sounds, just accepting them.
7:30When it feels natural, slowly bring your awareness back to the body, noticing the weight of the body.
8:04Allow the body to relax as it becomes heavier.
8:32Allow yourself to leave the day behind.
8:40Let go of the stress, being mindful to stay present in this moment.
8:56Let yourself unwind and naturally relax in the presence of God.
9:25As your awareness begins to drift deeper, rest into the calm that only comes from the presence of a loving God.
9:54Take this verse with you, Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.
10:14God, I know you're always with me.
10:21Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:25Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:33I trust your plan for my life.
