1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Approchie production.

2
00:00:15,321 --> 00:00:19,041
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning mantra.

3
00:00:20,281 --> 00:00:23,961
Speaker 2: When we compare our journey to others, we minimize our

4
00:00:24,041 --> 00:00:30,201
Speaker 2: dreams and invite suffering. Today's meditation is about embracing our

5
00:00:30,241 --> 00:00:35,921
Speaker 2: own path, recognizing that growth unfolds in its own perfect

6
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:42,841
Speaker 2: Timing your morning mantra, I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.

7
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Let's begin. If it's safe to.

8
00:00:52,441 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

9
00:00:58,601 --> 00:01:07,801
Speaker 2: your eyes, Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

10
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:18,601
Speaker 2: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing

11
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,761
Speaker 2: your breath to the space between your eyebrows. Imagine your

12
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,001
Speaker 2: life path as a river flowing at its own pace.

13
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:46,881
Speaker 2: Some sections rush, others meander at each bend, maybe a

14
00:01:46,961 --> 00:01:54,801
Speaker 2: learning or a point of growth along the way, rocks

15
00:01:54,961 --> 00:01:58,281
Speaker 2: and reeds to hold onto.

16
00:01:59,041 --> 00:02:00,681
Speaker 1: Or to drift past.

17
00:02:02,761 --> 00:02:08,841
Speaker 2: We each have our own for maps, our own life

18
00:02:08,921 --> 00:02:19,961
Speaker 2: lessons to learn. Different from others. Comparison steals the joy

19
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:27,801
Speaker 2: of the journey, Distracting and engrossing us in river pass

20
00:02:28,641 --> 00:02:35,961
Speaker 2: that don't belong to us. Worrying about how far or

21
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:43,881
Speaker 2: how close we may seem can cause unnecessary suffering and pain.

22
00:02:46,361 --> 00:02:51,041
Speaker 2: Frolicking and surrendering to the bends and.

23
00:02:51,041 --> 00:02:54,001
Speaker 1: Flows of our own rivers.

24
00:02:55,641 --> 00:03:05,561
Speaker 2: Allows for joy, for happiness and knowing to arise. Today's mantra,

25
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,361
Speaker 2: I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. Repeat to yourself,

26
00:03:13,001 --> 00:03:18,801
Speaker 2: either out loud or in your mind, I'm exactly where

27
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:27,761
Speaker 2: I'm meant to be, bringing your awareness to your breath

28
00:03:28,881 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: and back to the space around you. Slowly open your

29
00:03:33,841 --> 00:03:39,761
Speaker 2: eyes to increase self awareness and growth. I invite you
