Begin by getting comfortable, and when you’re ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.
As your body begins to relax, allow your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer. Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
And again, keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
When it feels natural, begin releasing the tension in your hands, shoulders, and neck.
Let go of that stress.
Release your anxieties and worries to God.
Let go of your grip on control.
Take a big, deep breath in. And again,
release your stress.
Let go of your frustrations.
Let it all go on the exhale.
We aren’t holding on to the thoughts. We’re just letting them release.
Now bring your awareness to the way the body feels.
Allow yourself to sink into your chair or your bed. The
body relax and release.
When it feels comfortable, bring your attention to the heart.
Feel the heartbeat,
just noticing it.
Allow that natural rhythm. and stillness to relax the body.
Just notice the way that you feel,
not trying to change it, just accepting it the way that it is.
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, letting gravity pull the body down into the bed or the chair.
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. Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
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.
