00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.760
Welcome, you've made space today to rest, not just your body, but your soul.

2
00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:21.520
This is a time to be still, a time to be restored.

3
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:29.000
You don't have to do anything, just receive.

4
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.800
Let's begin by getting comfortable, lying down or sitting back, whatever allows your

5
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:40.720
body to fully relax.

6
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:57.240
Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in, and slowly let it out.

7
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:04.319
Let's gently scan your body from head to toe.

8
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:15.160
Start at your forehead and allow the muscles there to soften.

9
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:22.880
Now release your jaw.

10
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:33.120
Let your shoulders drop away from your ears.

11
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:41.440
Feel the weight of your upper arms.

12
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:49.560
Now feel your lower arms relaxing.

13
00:01:49.560 --> 00:02:00.800
Let your hands be open and heavy and relaxed.

14
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:10.160
Now relax your belly.

15
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:20.160
Relax your hips.

16
00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:24.040
Feel your thighs relax.

17
00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:35.720
Feel the weight of your legs, let them feel heavy.

18
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:48.040
Your shins and your calves, let them relax.

19
00:02:48.040 --> 00:03:00.380
Now feel your ankles, and let your feet rest completely.

20
00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:04.820
You are held.

21
00:04:34.820 --> 00:04:59.820
Now let's shift our attention to your breath.

22
00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:00.820
Breathe.

23
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:23.520
Breathe in gently through your nose to the count of 4 1 2 3 4 now hold for 4 1 2 3 4

24
00:05:00.820 --> 00:05:01.820
Inhale.

25
00:05:01.820 --> 00:05:02.820
Exhale.

26
00:05:02.820 --> 00:05:02.820


27
00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:35.360
and exhale softly through your mouth for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

28
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.360
Let's repeat that a few times.

29
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.360
With every exhale imagine stress and tension melting away.

30
00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:25.840
With every inhale picture God's peace filling your chest like a warm light.

31
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:30.720
Let's repeat that a few more times.

32
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:50.320
Breathe in gently through your nose to the count of 4 1 2 3 4 5 6

33
00:06:50.320 --> 00:07:00.320
and exhale softly through your mouth for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

34
00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:45.280
Breathe in gently through your nose to the count of 4 1 2 3 4 5 6

35
00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:55.280
and exhale softly through your mouth for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

36
00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:08.240
and exhale softly through your mouth for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

37
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:17.200
and exhale softly through your mouth for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

38
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.960
Now let's rest in a single scripture from Psalm 46 10.

39
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:31.200
Be still and know that I am God.

40
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:38.159
Let that truth wash over you.

41
00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:52.160
Be still and know God is near.

42
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.040
He is not in a rush.

43
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.160
He is not disappointed in you.

44
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:14.320
He is here in this silence renewing you.

45
00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:23.040
Let these words become your breath prayer.

46
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:30.000
Inhale be still and exhale and know that I am God.

47
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:38.000
Be still and know that I am God.

48

Practice that with me.

49
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.000

50
