00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:17,961
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you

2
00:00:18,001 --> 00:00:24,121
Speaker 1: on Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores the seasons of stillness

3
00:00:25,561 --> 00:00:29,481
Speaker 1: and how moments that feel stagnant can actually be times

4
00:00:29,841 --> 00:00:41,441
Speaker 1: of preparation, resilience, and quiet growth. Your Morning Mantra. Even

5
00:00:41,601 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: in stillness, I am growing stronger. Let's begin. If it's

6
00:00:53,681 --> 00:00:54,161
Speaker 1: safe to.

7
00:00:54,161 --> 00:01:00,241
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

8
00:01:00,321 --> 00:01:09,481
Speaker 2: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

9
00:01:09,481 --> 00:01:21,321
Speaker 2: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing

10
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:29,521
Speaker 2: your breath down into your belly. There are moments in

11
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:40,681
Speaker 2: life when progress feels slow, When movement is stagnant and

12
00:01:40,761 --> 00:01:48,921
Speaker 2: the path ahead feels uncertain, it feels as though we

13
00:01:48,961 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: are standing still. Stillness is often a time of preparation,

14
00:02:01,601 --> 00:02:14,601
Speaker 2: an opportunity to develop skills, refining understanding and strengthening our resilience.

15
00:02:18,481 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: During these quieter seasons, we learn patience, how to conserve

16
00:02:27,841 --> 00:02:38,521
Speaker 2: our energy and protect our strength. We learn how to

17
00:02:38,561 --> 00:02:48,441
Speaker 2: be still and observe. Just as nature rests before the

18
00:02:48,481 --> 00:02:55,361
Speaker 2: next season of growth, we too have moments of quiet

19
00:02:55,401 --> 00:03:02,881
Speaker 2: becoming when the internal growth is greater than what we

20
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:10,281
Speaker 2: can see, when the time for movement arises.

21
00:03:11,921 --> 00:03:22,921
Speaker 1: We are clear and strong, willing and ready. Today's mantra.

22
00:03:24,641 --> 00:03:31,441
Speaker 1: Even in stillness, I am growing stronger. Repeat to yourself,

23
00:03:31,921 --> 00:03:37,801
Speaker 1: either out loud or in your mind. Even in stillness,

24
00:03:38,641 --> 00:03:50,481
Speaker 1: I Am growing stronger. Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

25
00:03:53,721 --> 00:04:01,281
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

26
00:04:01,401 --> 00:04:08,961
Speaker 1: be happy, May you be well, May you be free

27
00:04:09,401 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety. And may your whole

28
00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

29
00:04:24,241 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

30
00:04:35,521 --> 00:04:40,921
Speaker 1: self awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to
