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

Elisa. Take a moment to find yourself in any posture that feels comfortable and grounded for you.

Seated in a chair with your feet on the ground or on your back on the floor.

Someplace where you feel centered and supported by either the ground or the chair you sit in.

And now just begin to breathe.

If you can find silence or place of silence, great, if not, there's always silence inside of you that we want to access.

So begin to use your breath as a way to buffer

and create space and margin.

Inhale, resting your lips together and then exhale.

See if on the next inhale if you can breathe into three parts, your belly, your lungs, and all the way up into your throat. Hold it for a second and then begin to exhale from three parts.

The next time you inhale,

see if you can draw the breath from the belly all the way up to the crown of the head.

Just filling yourself with air.

Exhale all the way through. As you breathe you begin to feel yourself being rinsed.

It's removing any of the stress that is becoming toxic or chronic.

This is a physical manifestation of peace and it's available to you any time

you focus and breathe.

Jesus says that in this world we will have trouble, but take heart. He leaves us his peace. As you begin to drink and fill of this

peace, notice if there's any sensation of cooling in your body,

maybe of lightness on your shoulders or your jaw.

And if not just begin to draw your attention to that end result of a cooling, aering, and a peace. So God, we thank you for the gift of salvation of life of your truth and your love for us God.

And we come here now asking for more of your peace,

...
