00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,561
Speaker 1: Approchie production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:26,681
Speaker 1: morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores transition as one cycle completes

3
00:00:27,201 --> 00:00:34,441
Speaker 1: and another gathers momentum, inviting clarity, focus, and conscious release.

4
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Your morning mantra, I prepare for transformation. Let's begin. If

5
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,441
Speaker 1: it's safe to.

6
00:00:51,441 --> 00:00:57,561
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

7
00:00:57,601 --> 00:01:06,801
Speaker 2: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

8
00:01:06,801 --> 00:01:12,681
Speaker 2: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath.

9
00:01:18,081 --> 00:01:27,401
Speaker 1: Drawing your breath down into your heart. In Chinese astrology,

10
00:01:29,121 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: the new year becomes in February the year of the Horse,

11
00:01:37,441 --> 00:01:49,121
Speaker 1: a fire horse. The horse signifies a speedy, swift momentum.

12
00:01:50,081 --> 00:01:58,441
Speaker 1: The year will seem to pass by quickly. Fire symbolizes

13
00:01:58,921 --> 00:02:08,401
Speaker 1: transformation alchemy. So this upcoming year is said to be

14
00:02:08,481 --> 00:02:15,721
Speaker 1: a transformative year, a new year of a new cycle,

15
00:02:19,041 --> 00:02:29,281
Speaker 1: a new year of vast and fast transformation. It is

16
00:02:29,321 --> 00:02:42,441
Speaker 1: important that we are clear, aligned, focused, knowing what is

17
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:52,321
Speaker 1: meaningful and valuable to us, so that this fast energy

18
00:02:53,041 --> 00:03:01,121
Speaker 1: is concentrated, so when it lifts us up beneath our wings,

19
00:03:03,281 --> 00:03:06,361
Speaker 1: it will carry us in the direct that we wish

20
00:03:06,481 --> 00:03:15,161
Speaker 1: to go. Any unshed skin will get in the way,

21
00:03:18,161 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: drag us behind and slow us down. The horse will

22
00:03:28,921 --> 00:03:36,281
Speaker 1: outrun us, or we could burn out trying to keep up.

23
00:03:41,681 --> 00:03:45,921
Speaker 1: Release any illusions of crawling back into the shed skin.

24
00:03:51,321 --> 00:04:04,401
Speaker 1: Once seen or known, it can't be unseen unknown. With grace,

25
00:04:06,521 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: allow patterns and repeating cycles to expire an end. With compassion,

26
00:04:18,121 --> 00:04:28,801
Speaker 1: allow what is broken or severed to dissolve. Today's mantra,

27
00:04:30,721 --> 00:04:40,081
Speaker 1: I prepare for transformation. Repeat to yourself, either out loud

28
00:04:40,801 --> 00:04:52,481
Speaker 1: or in your mind. I prepare for transformation, bringing your

29
00:04:52,521 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out of

30
00:04:59,481 --> 00:05:09,121
Speaker 1: your heart space. May you be happy, May you be well,

31
00:05:12,201 --> 00:05:20,081
Speaker 1: May you be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety,

32
00:05:20,241 --> 00:05:26,721
Speaker 1: and may your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your

33
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:33,601
Speaker 1: awareness back to the space around you and slowly opening

34
00:05:33,641 --> 00:05:43,241
Speaker 1: your eyes to increase self awareness and growth. I invite

35
00:05:43,281 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you to listen to this evening's reflection. You can also

36
