00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,801
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray. Post of your

2
00:00:15,921 --> 00:00:22,201
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation explores how the suffering of others

3
00:00:22,721 --> 00:00:26,801
Speaker 1: may affect us and what we can do to help.

4
00:00:28,841 --> 00:00:37,801
Speaker 1: Let's begin your mourning mantra. I ease the suffering of others.

5
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so. Close your eyes or

6
00:00:45,601 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

7
00:00:58,281 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: your jaw, your shoulders down, and bring your attention to

8
00:01:10,721 --> 00:01:25,881
Speaker 1: your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart. When

9
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: others are suffering, it can seem easy to look away,

10
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:43,081
Speaker 1: thinking it's not our problem. But the suffering of others

11
00:01:43,681 --> 00:01:52,121
Speaker 1: can and does affect us. It can be someone we

12
00:01:52,281 --> 00:02:03,001
Speaker 1: love lost doom to someone else's pain. It can be

13
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:11,201
Speaker 1: the discrimination that will one day be ours when it

14
00:02:11,321 --> 00:02:22,801
Speaker 1: spreads or effects the ones we know and love. It

15
00:02:22,841 --> 00:02:30,481
Speaker 1: can be unknowingly handed down to our children when they

16
00:02:30,561 --> 00:02:40,361
Speaker 1: inherit liserve. There are ways to ease the suffering of

17
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:52,081
Speaker 1: others by engaging, listening, just smiling as you pass by,

18
00:02:54,361 --> 00:03:05,721
Speaker 1: acknowledging their existence, or wishing them good health, goodwill in

19
00:03:05,761 --> 00:03:14,641
Speaker 1: your mind and your heart silently through loving kindness. Meditation.

20
00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Today's mantra, I ease the suffering of others. Repeat to yourself,

21
00:03:27,761 --> 00:03:33,721
Speaker 1: either out loud or in your mind. I ease the

22
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:42,561
Speaker 1: suffering of others. Follow us on Instagram at your morning mantra.
