Let’s get started by allowing the body to relax.
And when you’re ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
Let your awareness rest with this verse and prayer.
Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders. He will carry your load.
And again, pile your troubles on God’s shoulders. Heel, carry your load.
Now bring your attention to the breath,
taking some nice, slow, deep, full breaths
in through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.
Deep breath in and feel the body expand and slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.
Let the breath be natural. Let the breath naturally relax the body.
Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale
and feel the body relax with each exhale.
Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.
As you breathe, allow the face to soften and let go.
Allow the forehead to relax and the jaw to fall away from the face.
Just relaxing and releasing.
Now let go of the breath. Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.
Now bring your awareness to the feeling of the body.
Maybe there’s some muscle tightness or stress lingering in the body. Slowly begin to let those muscles relax and release.
Give yourself permission to let go of today.
What is done is done.
All you have is this moment.
Take a few nice deep breaths. Allow
your breathing to relax the mind.
Feel the body. become heavier,
sinking into your bed, letting go of all that stress in the body and the mind.
Inhale, feel the chest rise,
and exhale, feel the chest fall.
Let the breath find a natural rhythm.
Begin to notice the sounds in the room,
not resisting the sounds, just accepting them as they are. You are just the observer.
If the thoughts take you away, remember, that’s okay. There’s no way to do this wrong.
When it feels comfortable, bring your awareness back to the sounds.
And for a moment or two, effortlessly allow your awareness to rest.
Take this verse with you. Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders. He’ll carry your load.
God, I know you’re always with me. Thank you for all of your blessings. Help me to relax and let go in your presence. I trust your plan for my life.
