00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,081
Speaker 1: Approchie production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of Your

2
00:00:18,201 --> 00:00:24,321
Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores the courage of speaking up

3
00:00:25,961 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: to discover the truth of ourselves and others. While it

4
00:00:32,561 --> 00:00:37,721
Speaker 1: might bring conflict short term, it brings liberation and peace

5
00:00:38,521 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: in the long run. Your Morning Mantra, I speak my

6
00:00:46,441 --> 00:01:00,241
Speaker 1: truth and create my freedom. Let's begin. If it's safe

7
00:01:00,281 --> 00:01:07,361
Speaker 1: to do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze.

8
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

9
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:32,241
Speaker 1: your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath,

10
00:01:37,521 --> 00:01:49,001
Speaker 1: drawing your breath down into your throat. Sometimes we remain silent,

11
00:01:52,881 --> 00:01:59,721
Speaker 1: not because we have nothing to say, but because we

12
00:01:59,881 --> 00:02:07,481
Speaker 1: fear that if we speak, we may elicit a response

13
00:02:09,881 --> 00:02:19,001
Speaker 1: that we are not ready to accept. We unknowingly sense

14
00:02:19,601 --> 00:02:27,481
Speaker 1: a deeper truth, and when it's revealed, it may feel

15
00:02:27,561 --> 00:02:40,481
Speaker 1: uncomfortable or challenge us, so we hold back, staying within

16
00:02:40,601 --> 00:02:52,001
Speaker 1: what feels familiar. Over time, this silence can build tension

17
00:02:56,161 --> 00:03:07,201
Speaker 1: and quiet, but ever bending misalignment. The courage to speak

18
00:03:09,081 --> 00:03:22,241
Speaker 1: gently and honestly can bring clarity and awareness. Can shine

19
00:03:22,361 --> 00:03:30,201
Speaker 1: light on what we might be thinking, reveal it as

20
00:03:30,361 --> 00:03:42,601
Speaker 1: truth or not. When we break the silence and test

21
00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:49,761
Speaker 1: the waters. We begin to see the truth of things,

22
00:03:55,001 --> 00:04:05,001
Speaker 1: and this creates our freedom. Today's mantra, I speak truth,

23
00:04:05,041 --> 00:04:14,801
Speaker 1: truth and create my freedom. Repeat to yourself, either out

24
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:20,921
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind. I speak my truth and

25
00:04:21,001 --> 00:04:32,041
Speaker 1: create my freedom. Bringing your awareness back to your breath.

26
00:04:36,081 --> 00:04:44,281
Speaker 1: Breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

27
00:04:44,401 --> 00:04:53,121
Speaker 1: be happy, may you be well, May you be free

28
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear and anxiety, and may your life

29
00:05:03,081 --> 00:05:10,241
Speaker 1: be truly blessed. Bring your awareness back to the space

30
00:05:10,281 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: around you. Slowly open your eyes. You are creating a

31
00:05:21,161 --> 00:05:29,921
Speaker 1: life you love. To increase self awareness and growth. I

32
00:05:30,041 --> 00:05:35,681
Speaker 1: invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You can
