And again, let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart.
With an easy awareness, begin to bring your attention to the space in the room,
not examining it, just sensing it.
Notice your place in the room,
just observing.
Listen to the sounds in the room. Maybe it’s a quiet room, or maybe it’s not. Both are okay.
You’re just listening and enjoying the sounds, not wishing to change or get rid of the sounds, just accepting them.
When it feels natural, slowly bring your awareness back to the body, noticing the weight of the body.
Allow the body to relax as it becomes heavier.
Allow yourself to leave the day behind.
Let go of the stress. Being mindful to stay present in this moment.
Let yourself unwind. and naturally relax in the presence of God.
As your awareness begins to drift deeper, rest into the calm that only comes from the presence of a loving God.
Bring your attention to the way the breath feels.
Let it settle into a natural rhythm,
effortless and natural.
Notice how good it feels to just breathe.
With each exhale, let the body feel heavier and heavier.
Begin to allow the muscles to release and unlock.
Feel the effects of gravity on the body.
Now, gently bring your attention to your feelings or emotions.
Just noticing the feelings that you brought with you today.
Not engaging with those emotions, remembering that we can leave those feelings right where they are.
The day is done. Allow God to handle what you cannot.
The thoughts may begin to bubble up, and that’s okay.
Just notice the thoughts, and then let them be.
Rest into that deeper sense of calm that can only be found in God’s love.
You’re inviting God to bring calm over your body, to bring peace into your spirit,
resting into your true nature, a child of God.
Take this verse with you. Let me teach you. Because I am humble and gentle at heart.
