00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:17,761
Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,801 --> 00:00:25,801
Speaker 1: morning mantra. We all make mistakes. Today's meditation is an

3
00:00:25,841 --> 00:00:33,041
Speaker 1: invitation to release hurting, shame, and anger, to choose forgiveness

4
00:00:33,921 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: for yourself and for others. Your mourning mantra forgiveness is

5
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:54,241
Speaker 1: love and freedom. Let's begin, if it's safe to do so,

6
00:00:54,881 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

7
00:01:02,241 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down,

8
00:01:11,881 --> 00:01:21,481
Speaker 1: and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath

9
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:31,681
Speaker 1: down into your heart. When we mess up, we would

10
00:01:31,721 --> 00:01:38,681
Speaker 1: be wise to forgive ourselves quickly, to speak to ourselves kindly,

11
00:01:40,961 --> 00:01:51,001
Speaker 1: to allow ourselves grace, the benefit of the doubt. Think

12
00:01:51,041 --> 00:01:59,001
Speaker 1: of mistakes as teachers guiding us forward with wisdom from

13
00:01:59,041 --> 00:02:07,721
Speaker 1: a space of compassion, where we can soften so we

14
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:18,121
Speaker 1: can learn, we grow, and when others mess up, offer

15
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:26,281
Speaker 1: the same gift, the gift of grace, the gift of understanding,

16
00:02:27,721 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: the gift of seeing their humanity. Forgiveness is not excusing harm.

17
00:02:38,721 --> 00:02:45,881
Speaker 1: It is choosing love over resentment. It is choosing freedom

18
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:56,121
Speaker 1: over shame, hurt, and anger. Today's mantra forgiveness is love

19
00:02:56,561 --> 00:03:05,561
Speaker 1: and freedom. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in

20
00:03:05,641 --> 00:03:18,201
Speaker 1: your mind. Forgiveness is love and freedom. Bringing your awareness

21
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,721
Speaker 1: back to your breath, breathing in and out of your

22
00:03:24,721 --> 00:03:34,161
Speaker 1: heart space. May you be happy, May you be well,

23
00:03:37,241 --> 00:03:42,761
Speaker 1: May you be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety.

24
00:03:45,321 --> 00:03:51,801
Speaker 1: And may your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your

25
00:03:51,801 --> 00:03:58,681
Speaker 1: awareness back to the space around you and slowly opening

26
00:03:58,721 --> 00:04:07,841
Speaker 1: your eyes to increase selvi WL awareness and growth, I
