00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:16,801
Speaker 1: Approache production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you are

2
00:00:16,801 --> 00:00:22,561
Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores our relationship with money and

3
00:00:22,601 --> 00:00:26,601
Speaker 1: how financial worry can steal our presence when we forget

4
00:00:26,681 --> 00:00:33,601
Speaker 1: that money is designed to cycle. Your morning mantra, I

5
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:42,361
Speaker 1: trust money flows in and out with ease. Let's begin,

6
00:00:44,361 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: if it's safe to do so.

7
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,841
Speaker 2: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

8
00:00:53,521 --> 00:01:01,481
Speaker 2: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

9
00:01:01,041 --> 00:01:12,241
Speaker 1: Down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your

10
00:01:12,241 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: breath down into your belly. Our relationship with money can

11
00:01:20,881 --> 00:01:28,641
Speaker 1: sometimes feel heavy or strained because of what we attach

12
00:01:28,761 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: to it. It can provide us security and freedom when

13
00:01:37,761 --> 00:01:43,401
Speaker 1: we have enough, and it can cause much tension and stress.

14
00:01:45,121 --> 00:01:50,881
Speaker 1: When money feels tight, Some of us might allow it

15
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: to define our worth, our status. We fear the loss

16
00:01:58,601 --> 00:02:08,121
Speaker 1: of money and with it, the loss of control, and

17
00:02:08,201 --> 00:02:14,281
Speaker 1: whether we feel abundant or lacking. It is a perspective

18
00:02:15,761 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: in the given moment. Money is a means of exchange.

19
00:02:24,281 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: It is meant to circulate. It has ups and downs

20
00:02:33,761 --> 00:02:42,441
Speaker 1: depending on outputs our purchases and services and our inputs

21
00:02:43,361 --> 00:02:50,321
Speaker 1: our creativity and productivity. Our perspective has nothing to do

22
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,721
Speaker 1: with our worth. Rich people may worry about losing money,

23
00:02:59,401 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: and poorer people may worry about where money may come from.

24
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,201
Speaker 1: Both experience fear, and both have different amounts of money

25
00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:18,281
Speaker 1: at any time. We have the potential to tap into

26
00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:29,561
Speaker 1: our ability to exchange commodities. Through productivity, creativity, and connection,

27
00:03:32,401 --> 00:03:38,601
Speaker 1: we can get our needs met when we need to.

28
00:03:38,601 --> 00:03:43,401
Speaker 1: Today's mantra I trust money flows in and out with ease.

29
00:03:45,881 --> 00:03:49,441
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

30
00:03:50,641 --> 00:03:59,561
Speaker 1: I trust money flows in and out with ease. Bringing

31
00:03:59,561 --> 00:04:06,081
Speaker 1: your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out

32
00:04:06,561 --> 00:04:15,681
Speaker 1: of your heart space. May you be happy, May you

33
00:04:15,761 --> 00:04:23,281
Speaker 1: be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear

34
00:04:24,041 --> 00:04:29,881
Speaker 1: and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed.

35
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,361
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and

36
00:04:39,481 --> 00:04:48,561
Speaker 1: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth.

37
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,241
Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You

38
