1 00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:14,841 Speaker 1: Approte production Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your 2 00:00:14,881 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation is about building a bridge and 3 00:00:20,681 --> 00:00:31,241 Speaker 1: getting over it. Let's begin your morning mantra. I build bridges. 4 00:00:34,921 --> 00:00:39,641 Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or 5 00:00:39,641 --> 00:00:53,561 Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax 6 00:00:53,601 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring attention to 7 00:01:06,681 --> 00:01:19,401 Speaker 1: your breath. Drawing your breath down and to your God. 8 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:32,441 Speaker 1: Repeating negative stories to try to remember them or to 9 00:01:32,481 --> 00:01:44,041 Speaker 1: try to believe them, and holding grudges are like rivers. 10 00:01:46,681 --> 00:01:53,041 Speaker 1: We test the waters by stating our stories out loud, 11 00:01:57,361 --> 00:02:02,321 Speaker 1: and we get in deep when others are in agreement. 12 00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:14,521 Speaker 1: And when we come to that same river with those 13 00:02:14,561 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: same people the next time, it's easy to dive right 14 00:02:22,041 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: in and swim along. This doesn't serve us. It's more 15 00:02:34,361 --> 00:02:41,041 Speaker 1: challenging to choose to build a bridge, to get over 16 00:02:41,081 --> 00:02:49,841 Speaker 1: the water and let the stories go on beneath. But 17 00:02:49,921 --> 00:02:57,361 Speaker 1: when we do, we can experience a freedom, a letting go, 18 00:03:01,921 --> 00:03:13,841 Speaker 1: which serves us and others and the highest good. Today's mantra, 19 00:03:15,121 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: I build bridges. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or 20 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:30,241 Speaker 1: in your mind. I build Bridges.
