00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,241
Speaker 1: Approach production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you

2
00:00:18,281 --> 00:00:25,801
Speaker 1: in Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores receiving a no and

3
00:00:25,841 --> 00:00:29,081
Speaker 1: how we can use this for fuel rather than letting

4
00:00:29,121 --> 00:00:36,601
Speaker 1: it get the better of us. Your Morning Mantra, rejection

5
00:00:37,601 --> 00:00:48,321
Speaker 1: is just a question. Let's begin if it's safe to

6
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:57,521
Speaker 1: do so. Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

7
00:00:57,601 --> 00:01:13,041
Speaker 1: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

8
00:01:13,041 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing

9
00:01:25,881 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: your breath down and to your belly. When we gain

10
00:01:33,961 --> 00:01:41,801
Speaker 1: the courage to ask for something and we receive a no,

11
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:53,921
Speaker 1: we may feel deflated, rejected, but we can take heart

12
00:01:56,241 --> 00:02:00,801
Speaker 1: for the no is really just asking us a question.

13
00:02:04,121 --> 00:02:10,561
Speaker 1: Are we sure we want to continue to pursue this path?

14
00:02:13,841 --> 00:02:21,441
Speaker 1: Are we willing to keep going to see what lies

15
00:02:21,481 --> 00:02:30,201
Speaker 1: beyond the know? Maybe we learn something through the no,

16
00:02:34,001 --> 00:02:42,121
Speaker 1: gentle constructive feedback that we can grow from. We will

17
00:02:42,201 --> 00:02:49,681
Speaker 1: receive many opportunities, and we won't be able to say

18
00:02:49,761 --> 00:02:57,001
Speaker 1: yes to all of them, much the same as others

19
00:02:58,121 --> 00:03:05,401
Speaker 1: won't always be able to say yes to us. Knows

20
00:03:05,841 --> 00:03:17,281
Speaker 1: aren't personal. Nose. Make sure we are still listening, still

21
00:03:17,361 --> 00:03:24,161
Speaker 1: willing to follow our hearts, to push through the negativity,

22
00:03:26,321 --> 00:03:31,641
Speaker 1: past the no and to all the yeses that lie

23
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:42,001
Speaker 1: beyond today's mantra. Rejection is just a question. Repeat to yourself,

24
00:03:42,481 --> 00:03:48,881
Speaker 1: either out loud or in your mind. Rejection is just

25
00:03:48,921 --> 00:04:03,161
Speaker 1: a question. Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing

26
00:04:03,241 --> 00:04:11,641
Speaker 1: in and out of your heart space. May you be happy,

27
00:04:15,121 --> 00:04:23,121
Speaker 1: may you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear,

28
00:04:24,201 --> 00:04:34,801
Speaker 1: and anxiety, and may your life be truly blessed. Bring

29
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:41,601
Speaker 1: your awareness back to the space around you. Slowly open

30
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:53,041
Speaker 1: your eyes. You are creating a life you love. To

31
00:04:53,201 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: increase self awareness and growth. I invite you to listen

32
00:04:58,361 --> 00:05:03,760
