00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:19,281
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:19,361 --> 00:00:23,881
Speaker 1: morning mantra. There is a quiet freedom in letting go

3
00:00:24,201 --> 00:00:29,441
Speaker 1: of what is beyond our control. Today's meditation is about

4
00:00:29,481 --> 00:00:35,161
Speaker 1: releasing the weight we were never meant to carry. Your

5
00:00:35,481 --> 00:00:46,201
Speaker 1: morning mantra, I release what I cannot control. Let's begin,

6
00:00:48,161 --> 00:00:51,761
Speaker 1: if it's safe to do so. Close your eyes or

7
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:00,641
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, relax

8
00:01:00,681 --> 00:01:07,961
Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

9
00:01:09,081 --> 00:01:23,081
Speaker 1: to your breath. Breathing in deeply through the nose and

10
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:31,721
Speaker 1: exhaling slowly through the mouth. Feel the body softened with

11
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: each breath. We spend our energy holding on, clinging to

12
00:01:45,161 --> 00:01:53,761
Speaker 1: trying to change things that are not ours to change.

13
00:01:54,801 --> 00:02:05,481
Speaker 1: This creates tightness, tension, often unnoticed, which we normally allies,

14
00:02:09,401 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: and this tension steals our natural state of peace. When

15
00:02:19,441 --> 00:02:25,041
Speaker 1: we let go of the need to change things that

16
00:02:25,121 --> 00:02:31,241
Speaker 1: are not within our sphere to change, when we allow

17
00:02:31,361 --> 00:02:36,321
Speaker 1: things to pass through us rather than cling to it,

18
00:02:38,641 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: we can release and soften, allowing our natural state of

19
00:02:44,841 --> 00:02:54,001
Speaker 1: peace to remain for longer and longer each time we

20
00:02:54,161 --> 00:03:03,601
Speaker 1: practice letting go. Today's mantra, I release what I cannot control.

21
00:03:05,561 --> 00:03:09,481
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

22
00:03:11,081 --> 00:03:20,681
Speaker 1: I release what I cannot control, bringing your awareness back

23
00:03:20,721 --> 00:03:27,201
Speaker 1: to your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space.

24
00:03:32,001 --> 00:03:39,281
Speaker 1: May you be happy, May you be well, May you

25
00:03:39,361 --> 00:03:47,401
Speaker 1: be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may

26
00:03:47,441 --> 00:03:54,601
Speaker 1: your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back

27
00:03:54,921 --> 00:04:01,081
Speaker 1: to the space around you and slowly opening your eyes

28
00:04:05,761 --> 00:04:11,361
Speaker 1: to increase self awareness and growth, I invite you to

29
00:04:11,481 --> 00:04:17,921
