1 00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:17,441 Speaker 1: Approach production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your 2 00:00:17,521 --> 00:00:23,921 Speaker 1: morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores the gift of beginning again, 3 00:00:25,281 --> 00:00:29,361 Speaker 1: the power of a fresh start in any given moment. 4 00:00:31,801 --> 00:00:43,441 Speaker 1: Your morning mantra, I begin again with gentle hope. Let's begin. 5 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or 6 00:00:49,081 --> 00:00:57,881 Speaker 2: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, relax 7 00:00:57,921 --> 00:01:05,041 Speaker 2: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention 8 00:01:06,321 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: to your breath. Drawing your breath down into your heart. 9 00:01:21,041 --> 00:01:29,801 Speaker 2: With each exhale, release the past, and with each inhale, 10 00:01:30,441 --> 00:01:40,681 Speaker 2: let renewal fill your lungs. Every breath is a reset, 11 00:01:42,721 --> 00:01:50,961 Speaker 2: a doorway, a gentle reminder that we can begin again 12 00:01:52,641 --> 00:02:04,481 Speaker 2: at any moment, after a gasp or a yawn, after 13 00:02:04,521 --> 00:02:14,721 Speaker 2: a mistake, a hard day, after falling short, disappointing. 14 00:02:20,121 --> 00:02:31,721 Speaker 1: Beginning again doesn't erase the past. It transforms it with compassion, 15 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:46,721 Speaker 1: with softness, with learning. Each new beginning is a small 16 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:55,961 Speaker 1: act of courage, a choice to keep moving, to keep growing, 17 00:02:59,001 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: to keep believing. Hope lives in the inhance, light lives 18 00:03:09,321 --> 00:03:17,481 Speaker 1: in the restart, and each breath is an opportunity to 19 00:03:17,561 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: begin again. Today's mantra. I begin again with gentle hope. 20 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. 21 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:45,801 Speaker 1: I begin again with gentle hope. 22 00:03:41,521 --> 00:03:48,121 Speaker 3: Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and 23 00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:57,921 Speaker 3: out of your heart space.
