Summary
In the rush of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in the pace and the demands—so much so that we forget the nearness and presence of God.
This guided Scripture meditation invites you to do something radical: slow down, breathe, and enter a tangible time of rest.
Through gentle reflection on Hebrews 12:2, you'll have space to become aware of what's weighing on your heart, release the things that bind you or hold you back, and hand them over to Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith.
Leave this time strengthened, carrying renewed peace, love, and joy deep in your soul and even in your body.
Perfect for bedtime, a quiet afternoon, or any moment you need to recenter in God's presence. Come as you are. Leave lighter.
Key Scripture:
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." — Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to a time of being still and being loved this holiday season. |
| 0:07.6 | My name is Elisa. |
| 0:09.9 | Go ahead and take a moment to position your body in a posture of rest that is still attentive. |
| 0:19.3 | Attentive to the moment. |
| 0:21.4 | And we start by being attentive to the breath. |
| 0:25.1 | So as you relax your body into the position you've chosen, |
| 0:30.4 | begin to engage, become aware, the rise and the fall of the breath. |

| 0:46.4 | widen the belly and the lungs, |
| 0:51.0 | and as you exhale, allow them to deflate. Inhale and rise to deflate. |
| 0:59.0 | Inhale and rise the belly. |
| 1:04.0 | Exhale, deflate. |
| 1:17.0 | It's my intention today to give you a tangible time of rest as we head into the holiday season. |

| 1:54.8 | I know whenever I do this, it does work. |
| 1:58.3 | I just become aware that I'm holding, I'm clenching, |
| 2:20.5 | and I can release as I become aware. This is true for any part of our body or our soul. If we're feeling anxious, we can become aware and we can release. As we give to God the things that bind us or hold us back, |
| 2:27.3 | it's a sacrifice and offering of praise, |
