Hi everybody and welcome to an episode of Be Still and Be Loved. My name is

Elisa Keaton and if you've listened to any of our revving the word where we're moving and doing,

this is the complete opposite. This is being.

Learning what it means to be still, to know, to reason with the Lord in the truth of his word.

So all you need to do right now is just find yourself in a comfortable posture. A quiet place

preferably if you can find a moment in a closet, bathroom, your office, shut the door, take your phone, put it, if you're really daring, you'll put

your phone in another room.

Close your laptop. No bells, no dings nothing that would distract you from being

fully present it's almost like creating a vacuum just sealed off from the distractions of the world.

So when you find your quiet moment, your quiet space, just choose whether you're going to lay or sit down or lay down.

Just be aware that your breath is the tethering, it's the anchor point for remaining present and still and purposeful if you just sat and breathed. It's a powerful

gift you're giving yourself and it's a gift from God himself who gives you the

spirit. The spirit in the inner man is your inmost being.

So right now begin to inhale,

and exhale. Notice as you inhale that the chest rises, the ribcage expands, the belly expands, and as you exhale everything draws in and falls down. This is breathing that goes beyond your natural breath. This is therapeutic breath. You're trying to fill yourself with more.

So God, we welcome you here. We want the fullness of you living in us. So as we breathe you in, God, have your way.

In Jesus, day, Amen. Try and relax your jaw relax your forehead.

when you exhale, let the breath become throaty, kind of warm leaving you.

And as you inhale, you can feel the coolness inside your mouth the back of your throat. And I'm reading from Psalm 106. This is the Passion translation. We're going to stay on one verse.

Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Everyone, thank God for he is good and easy to please. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

Everyone thank God for he is good and easy to please. Just notice which words make your heart smile.
