Hi everyone, it's Elisa. Welcome to a time to be still and be loved.

Find yourself seated or laying down on a mat in any position that's comfortable to you that is restful to you.

If you're seated, begin to become aware of your spine from tail to crown and crown to tail feeling as if you are lifted up being elevated through the crown of the

head drawing the shoulders back and relaxing the hips as you are seated.

Begin to breathe and inhale,

exhale.

If you're lying down on your back with your feet in a comfortable position, making sure at this time that you are noticing any tension in your body and then beginning to breathe and try and soften that area that feels tense or stuck.

If you're on your back on the floor,

you can rest your hands on your belly

or even if you're seated too.

Now begin to draw the breath in so that it widens through the three parts of breath in your belly, in your heart as well as through the collarbone and into the head and exhale. Resting the lips together, not clenching your jaw. Notice if you are and just try and soften your jaw. Notice if you're squeezing the forehead or the furrowing the brow or clenching the teeth and just begin to become aware that's all

body awareness precedes any type of emotional or mental holding on that you might be doing. So notice it in your body.

Declare peace in all parts of who you are.

Peace in your mind, peace in your emotions, peace in your physical being, and

peace with God.

Keep breathing with a big inhale and an exhale. reach down into your heart and pull up all the goodness, anything you can find.

Bring your little and he makes much. During this time it's really important to just receive if there's something said that makes you feel offended or blocked, notice it, and

then take a breath and breathe. It's the job of the Holy Spirit in you to lead you into

truth and life. So let it do the work as you pull back and rest, release and surrender.

God, we thank you for this time, we thank you for the gift of rest.

We thank you that you have commanded us to be still.

So here we are, God.
