00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:19,721
Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray. Post of your

2
00:00:19,801 --> 00:00:28,801
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation explores the power of play and

3
00:00:28,841 --> 00:00:36,521
Speaker 1: how bringing lightness and curiosity into our day can create freedom, energy,

4
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:46,321
Speaker 1: and joy. Your morning mantra, I invite play and lightness

5
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:58,201
Speaker 1: into my day. Let's begin. If it's safe to do so,

6
00:00:58,961 --> 00:01:07,601
Speaker 1: close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

7
00:01:10,481 --> 00:01:25,321
Speaker 1: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down,

8
00:01:26,761 --> 00:01:35,761
Speaker 1: and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath

9
00:01:35,801 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: down to just below your belly button. Adult life is structured,

10
00:01:48,841 --> 00:01:58,761
Speaker 1: focused on outcomes, responsibilities, and routine, and the child that

11
00:01:58,921 --> 00:02:07,001
Speaker 1: still lives within us loves a natural sense of play.

12
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: A desire to explore. To to enjoy today is an

13
00:02:19,561 --> 00:02:32,481
Speaker 1: invitation to approach the day with playfulness, engaging with curiosity

14
00:02:33,321 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: fun rather than pressure. We might turn a task into

15
00:02:43,161 --> 00:02:53,721
Speaker 1: a game, test our limits, or simply allow ourselves to

16
00:02:53,881 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: be to enjoy the moment, have a laugh. When we play,

17
00:03:08,281 --> 00:03:19,361
Speaker 1: our prospective shifts, tasks become lighter, challenges become opportunities or discoveries,

18
00:03:22,121 --> 00:03:36,481
Speaker 1: Movement becomes expression. Play brings a lightness, and lightness brings joy.

19
00:03:37,921 --> 00:03:43,761
Speaker 1: Today's mantra, I invite play and lightness into my day.

20
00:03:49,441 --> 00:03:53,521
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

21

Speaker 1: I invite play and lightness into my day. Bringing your

22
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: awareness back to your breath. Breathing in and out of

23
00:04:16,481 --> 00:04:17,361
