Transcript

Take several long,

Slow,

Deep breaths.

Breathing in through your nose,

Breathing out through your mouth.

And with each exhale,

Just letting your body melt into the chair or the floor and relax.

Breathing in calming energy and breathing out any stress or worries or thoughts.

As you close your eyes,

Sink deeper into stillness.

The stillness of just sitting here and being present right now.

Feeling on the movement of your breath,

Of the spirit,

The divine presence,

Breathing through you.

There's nowhere for you to go,

Nothing to think about or change or decide.

Just being present here and now.

Feeling the breath,

Feeling the stillness,

Feeling the calm.

I invite you to place a hand against the diaphragm.

A hand at your spiritual heart,

Center of your chest.

Allowing yourself to just naturally breathe in and out.

Being aware of the divine spirit of God breathing through you.

Taking time today to slip away from the illusions of fear and into peace.

Setting an intention for this meditation to rest in God and to find the strength of God in which you can trust.

Letting the divine comfort your discomfort,

Soothe your fears,

Bring you to that deeper place of peace.

With your breath,

Just comforting in any physical discomfort you might be feeling or emotional discomfort,

Mental discomfort.

Just with your breath and with your connection to God's spirit you can soothe whatever it is that might be challenging you at this time.

Breathing into your heart,

Anything that's troubling,

Stressful,

Frustrating.

And just breathe in and out of your heart.

There's no need to run from any discomfort.

The best thing we can do is to just be with it and comfort it through the peace and the breath of God.

You can even say to it,

I know you feel this way,

I understand,

It's okay,

I'm here,

I'm with you.

So you can just say kind,

Soothing things to your anxiety or your frustrations or whatever unpleasant feelings come up.

If they're even there,

If they're not,

Just allowing yourself to breathe into this moment.

Breathing in and out of God.

Breathing into the light of love and peace in your heart.

Whenever your mind gets distracted,

Just gently return it to your focus,

Your anchor,

Which is your breath,

Your heart.

Remembering the truth of who you are,

What you are.

As we reflect on the Course in Miracle Lessons 109 and 47,

I rest in God and God is the strength in which I trust.

So we ask for rest today and quietness,

Unshaken by the world's appearances.

We ask for peace and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams.

We ask for safety and for happiness,

Although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow.

I rest in God.

This thought will bring you to the peace you seek.

This thought will carry you through the storm.

There is no suffering it cannot heal.

There is no problem it cannot solve.

This is the day of peace.

You rest in God and while the world seems to be in turmoil,

Your rest remains undisturbed.

Yours is the rest of truth.

Things in the world cannot intrude on you when you rest in God.

Here there are no cares and concerns,

No burdens,

No anxiety,

No fear,

No past regrets,

No pain.

I rest in God.

Just breathing in and out of your heart as you say that phrase into your heart,

I rest in God.

Repeat it several times until you feel a deeper sense of peace and stillness.

I rest in God.

Feeling a weight lifting off your shoulders.

You can give your cares and concerns over,

Release them,

Let them go.

As you say I rest in God.

All is well.

I am healed.

The world is healed.

Just breathing in and out of your heart as you rest in God.

And turn again and again to your heart,

To the spirit.

The spirit of God and the spirit of rest in your heart.

Coming back to the mantra I rest in God.

Whenever you get distracted or lost in those fearful thoughts.

Feeling the breath move in and move out as you rest in God.

Each hour you take this rest today,

A tired mind is suddenly made glad.

A bird with broken wings begins to sing.

A stream long dry begins to flow again.

The world is born again each time you rest and remember you came to bring the peace of God into the world.

And call upon your brothers and sisters to rest with you.

You're getting no one to the holy sanctuary where you rest.

There's nothing to fear when you stop and remember God.

And let God's strength and light replace your fears and your weakness.

The presence of fear is a sure sign you are trusting in your own strength and not the strength of God.

So now saying into your heart,

God is the strength in which I trust.

If you really believe that how would you feel?

God is the strength in which I trust.

And I can let go and all will be healed,

All will be solved.

If you are trusting in your own strength you have every reason to be apprehensive,

Anxious,

Anxious.

What can you really predict or control?

God is your safety in every circumstance.

So reach past your own weakness to the source of real strength.

Search for situations in your life which you have invested in fear.

Dismissing each one by telling yourself,

God is the strength in which I trust.

Take some moment to do that now or you search for situations where you have invested in fear and say,

God is the strength in which I trust.

God is the strength in which I trust.

So now say,

God is the strength in which I trust.

God is the strength in which I trust.

Reach down now into your mind to a place of real safety.

Let go of all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind and reach to heaven instead.

You know you have arrived when you feel a sense of deeper peace even if just for a moment.

There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.

There is a place in you where nothing is impossible.

There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.

Remember that peace is your right because you are giving your trust to the strength of God.

And you can let go,

Let go of everything.

Breathe down into your heart and rest in God again.

This is the true reality you seek.

This is where your soul longs for you to live.

And even if you can touch it for an instant,

The holy instant,

You will have remembered who you really are and find the peace of God shining in your heart.

The peace of God is shining in me now.

Breathe into that reality.

Breathe into that truth.

And for help in feeling it even deeper.

As you continue to let go of the illusions of this world and focus on the true reality of love and peace that is always there waiting for you to turn towards it inside you.

And as you move throughout your day and when you sleep at night,

When the fear comes in,

You can just say,

I rest in God.

What is the strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear?

The strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear.

The strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear.

The strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear.

The strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear.

The strength in which I trust when there's nothing to fear.
