Hello. Let's take a few moments and begin to settle in. Find a comfortable position and close the eyes. Begin to relax the shoulders. Relax the jaw. Relax the space around the heart. Let's take a deep inhale together and exhale, Let it go. Again deep inhale and exhale, Release the breath. Last time, Deep inhale and exhale, Let it go. As you begin to settle in, As you begin to find stillness, Listen to the following words, The Lord's Prayer, Not just with the ears, But with the heart. If you've heard this prayer before, Let's try to listen today with an open mind. Let's allow these words and the ideas within this prayer to touch our hearts in a special way today. Please feel free to recite the prayer along with me or to listen. Let's begin. Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Forgive us this day, Our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, And lead us not to temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Take the next few moments, Sit with these words, Allow these ideas to penetrate the mind, The heart, The body, The spirit. Amen.
