00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:17,361
Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,481 --> 00:00:23,961
Speaker 1: morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores the stillness that lives within us,

3
00:00:26,241 --> 00:00:30,321
Speaker 1: the calm center that we can return to at any moment.

4
00:00:33,081 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Your morning mantra, I return to the quiet within. Let's begin,

5
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,241
Speaker 1: if it's safe to.

6
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,321
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

7
00:00:54,361 --> 00:01:03,561
Speaker 2: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

8
00:01:03,561 --> 00:01:04,801
Speaker 2: shoulders down.

9
00:01:06,241 --> 00:01:15,601
Speaker 1: And bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your breath

10
00:01:15,681 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: down in to your center, and bring your awareness to

11
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:30,601
Speaker 1: the quiet, the quiet that always exists within the center,

12
00:01:34,401 --> 00:01:43,961
Speaker 1: A place of peace, a soft space where nothing is required,

13
00:01:47,721 --> 00:01:58,761
Speaker 1: where calm lives. Our center can't be broken, it can't

14
00:01:58,801 --> 00:02:10,121
Speaker 1: be taken away. It is always here, patiently waiting for

15
00:02:10,241 --> 00:02:22,601
Speaker 1: our return, our rock steady center. When life becomes loud,

16
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: we can return to softness. When emotions swell, we can

17
00:02:32,921 --> 00:02:43,641
Speaker 1: contract to the center. When thoughts feel scattered, we can

18
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:53,001
Speaker 1: focus on to the quiet within. Our center is our home,

19
00:02:55,841 --> 00:03:03,401
Speaker 1: a space to rest, a place to reset, a retreat

20
00:03:04,361 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: to renew. Today's mantra I return to the quiet within.

21
00:03:15,641 --> 00:03:19,641
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

22
00:03:22,081 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I return to the quiet within, bringing your awareness back

23
00:03:31,881 --> 00:03:38,361
Speaker 1: to your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space.

24
00:03:43,201 --> 00:03:50,441
Speaker 1: May you be happy, May you be well, May you

25
00:03:50,561 --> 00:03:58,601
Speaker 1: be free from stress, worry, fear and anxiety, and may

26
00:03:58,641 --> 00:04:05,801
Speaker 1: your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareenness back

27
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:12,161
Speaker 1: to the space around you and slowly opening your eyes

28
00:04:16,961 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: to increase self awareness and growth, I invite you to
