Hello, How are you? Welcome to today's meditation. We're going to go through a quick body scan and get into the song for the day. So at this moment, I'm gonna ask that you get nice and comfortable in whatever position you're in. And I'm gonna ask you to bring your attention to your jaw, To your face. I'm gonna ask you to squeeze your jaw, Your teeth, Your face real tight. Squeeze, Squeeze, And release. Now I'm gonna ask you to bring your attention down to your neck and shoulders. Squeeze them, Squeeze them, Squeeze them and release. Now bring your attention to your back, Your chest, Your arms, Your core. Squeeze your entire upper body. Squeeze, Squeeze and release. Bring your attention down to your hips, Your bottom. Squeeze, Squeeze, And release. Bring your attention down to your legs, Your thighs, Your calves. Down to your feet, Your toes, Squeeze, Squeeze, Squeeze. And release. Allow peace and relaxation to take care of you and carry you right now. Allow the peace that surpasses all understanding to envelope your body. Allow yourself to let go of the day. What's done is done. And allow yourself to be in the present moment with what is. Take a deep breath in. And take a deep breath out. Big inhale. And big exhale. One more time, Big inhale. And big exhale. Psalm 121. I lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, The maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip. He who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you. The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming and going, Both now and forevermore. Amen. I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
