Transcript

This guided meditation is brought to you by waymarkministries.

Com Begin by sitting in a comfortable position where your lungs have full capacity to breathe deeply.

Close your eyes and listen to the sounds of the birds.

Become aware of your breathing rhythm.

The gentle inhale and exhale.

As you breathe,

Make your rhythm slightly deeper and slightly slower.

As you listen to the birds,

Draw a little more breath in and draw it in a bit more slowly than your natural breathing rhythm.

And as you exhale,

Exhale all of the air from your lungs a little slower than your natural breathing rhythm.

Become fully relaxed as you hear the sounds of the birds.

And as you exhale,

Exhale all of the air from your lungs a little slower than your natural breathing rhythm.

When Jesus spoke to his disciples,

He said to them,

Consider the birds of the air.

They neither sow nor reap,

Yet your Father in heaven cares for them.

Not one sparrow will fall to the ground without the loving Father knowing that this living creature has done so.

How much more,

Jesus says,

Are you worth to God?

As you listen to the birds,

Become aware of the divine presence and become aware that it is a presence of love that cares for you.

Rest at ease,

In peace,

Knowing you are loved and cared for by the divine.

Become aware of the divine.
