00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:18,641
Speaker 1: Approte production Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray post of your

2
00:00:18,761 --> 00:00:25,681
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation explores the power of mornings and

3
00:00:25,721 --> 00:00:30,441
Speaker 1: how our first moments after waking can shape the energy

4
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: of our entire day. Your morning mantra, I set the

5
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:49,801
Speaker 1: tone for my day with intention. Let's begin, if it's

6
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,401
Speaker 1: safe to do so. Close your eyes or lower your gaze.

7
00:00:56,041 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

8
00:01:05,521 --> 00:01:11,121
Speaker 1: your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath.

9
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:26,961
Speaker 1: Drawing your breath to the crown of your head as

10
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: our eyes flutter open to welcome in the new day.

11
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: We have choices a whole day ahead of us. We

12
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:52,841
Speaker 1: can begin with awareness or with distraction. We can begin

13
00:01:53,321 --> 00:02:05,121
Speaker 1: with urgency or with patience. We can begin with clarity.

14
00:02:05,841 --> 00:02:19,161
Speaker 1: Our first thoughts create momentum. Our first actions signal our priority.

15
00:02:20,481 --> 00:02:27,001
Speaker 1: The way we choose to begin sets the tone for

16
00:02:27,081 --> 00:02:40,361
Speaker 1: what follows. Before conversations, before responsibilities, there is a window

17
00:02:40,721 --> 00:02:50,041
Speaker 1: of space where we can be intentional about how we

18
00:02:50,081 --> 00:02:59,041
Speaker 1: want this day to play out. Start with awareness with

19
00:02:59,161 --> 00:03:07,681
Speaker 1: the breath, and then move into stretching awareness of the

20
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:16,321
Speaker 1: body and bring to mind. Two things that you can

21
00:03:16,401 --> 00:03:22,441
Speaker 1: do today that will bring a smile to your face.

22
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:31,601
Speaker 1: Tonight today's mantra, I set the tone for my day

23
00:03:32,041 --> 00:03:40,121
Speaker 1: with intention. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in

24
00:03:40,201 --> 00:03:45,321
Speaker 1: your mind. I set the tone for my day with intention,

25
00:03:51,681 --> 00:03:58,281
Speaker 1: bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and

26
00:03:58,321 --> 00:04:08,201
Speaker 1: out of your heart space. You be happy, May you

27

28
00:04:16,561 --> 00:04:22,401
Speaker 1: and anxiety. And may your whole life be truly blessed.

29
00:04:25,921 --> 00:04:31,841
