| 0:00.0 | We say we want peace. We pray for it. We look for it. We try to build lives that might finally give it to us. |
| 0:09.0 | But if we're honest, many of us don't actually feel peaceful. Our minds race with thoughts we can't seem to quiet. |
| 0:16.0 | Our bodies carry more tension than we know what to do with. Our homes and relationships hold stress, |
