1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281 Speaker 1: Approche production. 2 00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:19,241 Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your Morning Mantra. 3 00:00:21,521 --> 00:00:27,641 Speaker 2: We often hold tightly to things, habits, thoughts, or relationships 4 00:00:29,241 --> 00:00:36,201 Speaker 2: long after they've served their purpose. Today's meditation is about 5 00:00:36,241 --> 00:00:40,201 Speaker 2: releasing what no longer supports us so we can make 6 00:00:40,241 --> 00:00:48,601 Speaker 2: space or what's next? Your morning mantra, I let go 7 00:00:49,081 --> 00:00:59,521 Speaker 2: to make space or what's next? Let's begin, if it's 8 00:00:59,561 --> 00:01:00,361 Speaker 2: safe to do so. 9 00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:06,761 Speaker 1: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, 10 00:01:08,361 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders. 11 00:01:15,881 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your 12 00:01:26,881 --> 00:01:35,041 Speaker 2: breath to the space between your eyebrows. Picture yourself holding 13 00:01:35,081 --> 00:01:42,441 Speaker 2: on to something that you've outgrown. It might be a belief, 14 00:01:43,881 --> 00:01:54,721 Speaker 2: a routine, or a situation. Become aware of the weight 15 00:01:55,521 --> 00:02:08,041 Speaker 2: that it carries. Now gently place it down. Feel the 16 00:02:08,121 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: lightness in your hands, your body, your mind. Letting go 17 00:02:20,081 --> 00:02:28,161 Speaker 2: is not losing or failing. It's trusting that you will 18 00:02:28,161 --> 00:02:36,121 Speaker 2: be given what you need next. It's creating space for joy, 19 00:02:37,881 --> 00:02:46,161 Speaker 2: for growth, for possibility. Life is a series of seasons. 20 00:02:48,561 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: When one ends, another begins. It is a natural cycle. 21 00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:05,441 Speaker 2: Today's mantra I, let go to make space or what's next. 22 00:03:08,561 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. 23 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:23,241 Speaker 2: I'd let go to make space, or what's next? Bringing 24 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,761 Speaker 2: your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out 25 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:39,361 Speaker 2: of your heart space. May you be happy, may you 26 00:03:39,441 --> 00:03:46,961 Speaker 2: be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear, 27 00:03:47,721 --> 00:03:53,561 Speaker 2: and anxiety. And may your whole life be truly blessed. 28 00:03:57,121 --> 00:04:03,041 Speaker 2: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and 29 00:04:03,161 --> 00:04:12,241 Speaker 2: slowly opening your eye to increase self awareness and growth. 30 00:04:13,561 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection.
