Hi everyone and welcome to a time of being still and being loved. My name is

Elisa Keaton. Some of you have been with me to move your bodies as you hear truth and as you receive God's love. And now we're

going to take the opposite posture, still our bodies to hear truth and to receive God's love.

So find a quiet place as quiet as you can,

wherever that might be in a closet, in a bathroom in your car, in a closet, your pantry,

wherever. And you'll position yourself either seated or put a towel down or

a mat down and you can lay yourself down on your back with your feet either firmly planted

underneath your kneesbone to kind of

elevate and lift you but the hope here is to stay with a long spine.

Your posture matters and we engage the posture starting at the crown of the head, draw the skull back a bit,

draw the shoulders back and down out of your ears.

Let the heart open as you breathe.

Let there be a small curve in your middle back

and then the tailbone roots down into the floor if you're seated.

And if you're laying on the ground you'll still feel those three points of contact, the tailbone, the upper back, the back of the head.

With your palms open, just breathe.

Inhale for the count of five.

Exhale.

Maybe for the count of seven.

Inhale.

Exhale. Exhale. So we position our heart and turn it towards God.

So we position our heart and turn it towards God. We position our head turning and looking for God.
