00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:18,081
Speaker 1: Approchie production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,161 --> 00:00:23,761
Speaker 1: morning mantra. In our fast paced world, impatience can leave

3
00:00:23,841 --> 00:00:29,561
Speaker 1: us feeling frazzled and disconnected, rushing through moments instead of

4
00:00:29,641 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: living them. Today's meditation is about cultivating patience, slowing our

5
00:00:37,561 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: pace to honor the present. Your mourning mantra, I embrace

6
00:00:46,921 --> 00:00:59,481
Speaker 1: patience with myself and with others. Let's begin, if it's

7
00:00:59,521 --> 00:01:04,801
Speaker 1: safe to do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze.

8
00:01:05,681 --> 00:01:15,121
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

9
00:01:15,161 --> 00:01:20,761
Speaker 1: your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath,

10
00:01:23,881 --> 00:01:30,961
Speaker 1: drawing your breath to the space between your eyebrows. Recall

11
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:40,601
Speaker 1: when you felt rushed or frustrated, perhaps in traffic, waiting

12
00:01:40,681 --> 00:01:49,321
Speaker 1: for a reply, or juggling too many tasks. These times

13
00:01:49,681 --> 00:01:58,361
Speaker 1: are an opportunity to practice being okay with not being okay,

14
00:01:59,201 --> 00:02:06,401
Speaker 1: handling conditions out of our control. This is the lesson.

15
00:02:09,201 --> 00:02:13,641
Speaker 1: The world is a mirror showing us what we need

16
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:22,161
Speaker 1: to see, giving us situations that we need to learn from.

17
00:02:22,321 --> 00:02:32,641
Speaker 1: So life becomes our daily practice. Plenty of opportunities to

18
00:02:32,761 --> 00:02:43,121
Speaker 1: practice acceptance and patience. Noise and discomfort becomes something to

19
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:51,881
Speaker 1: learn from something, to be with and explore our inner workings.

20
00:02:55,721 --> 00:03:01,521
Speaker 1: When we are patient and accepting, we allow for insights,

21
00:03:04,161 --> 00:03:15,361
Speaker 1: for kindness, for genuine connection. Today's mantra, I embrace patience

22
00:03:15,601 --> 00:03:22,241
Speaker 1: with myself and with others. Repeat to yourself, either out

23
00:03:22,321 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind. I embrace patience with myself

24
00:03:28,281 --> 00:03:37,321
Speaker 1: and with others, bringing your awareness to your breath and

25
00:03:37,441 --> 00:03:42,561
Speaker 1: back to the space around you. Slowly open your eyes

26
00:03:44,521 --> 00:03:48,561
Speaker 1: to increase self awareness and growth. I invite you to

27
00:03:48,641 --> 00:03:52,921
Speaker 1: listen to this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your
