00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:17,001
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:22,241
Speaker 1: morning Mantra. It's easy to feel joy during big, momentous,

3
00:00:22,801 --> 00:00:28,241
Speaker 1: but often fleeting moments in our lives. Today's meditation invites

4
00:00:28,321 --> 00:00:32,441
Speaker 1: us to feel the joy in small, often unnoticed moments.

5
00:00:33,841 --> 00:00:41,441
Speaker 1: Consistent joy creates much happier lives. Your morning mantra, I

6
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:46,121
Speaker 1: am present for the small, beautiful moments of my life.

7
00:00:47,361 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so, close your

8
00:00:52,281 --> 00:01:00,081
Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

9
00:01:02,041 --> 00:01:09,281
Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your

10
00:01:09,321 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: attention to your breath. Drawing your breath to the space

11
00:01:17,041 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: between your eyebrows. Imagine stepping outside, feeling the sun's warmth

12
00:01:27,441 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: on your skin, the sound of a bird chirping their

13
00:01:33,961 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: morning song, the quality of the morning light. Notice how

14
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:53,441
Speaker 1: nature invites us to slow down, to listen, to be present.

15
00:01:56,921 --> 00:02:05,881
Speaker 1: These small moments offer us an opportunity to experience joy.

16
00:02:06,081 --> 00:02:11,441
Speaker 1: Imagine the people that you'll see today, the ones you

17
00:02:11,521 --> 00:02:17,881
Speaker 1: know and those you don't hear, the kind words that

18
00:02:17,921 --> 00:02:26,601
Speaker 1: are exchanged, the compassion that is shared. Feel how these

19
00:02:26,641 --> 00:02:34,761
Speaker 1: small connections have the potential to ripple outwards, bringing a

20
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:43,041
Speaker 1: sense of belonging and shared humanity. Notice how these small,

21
00:02:43,281 --> 00:02:50,281
Speaker 1: everyday things have the potential to bring us joy. The

22
00:02:50,361 --> 00:02:59,961
Speaker 1: small things add up, consistent things accumulate. It is the

23
00:03:00,041 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: small and the consistent that make our lives rich and meaningful.

24
00:03:10,161 --> 00:03:16,801
Speaker 1: Today is an invitation to enjoy the small things, to

25
00:03:16,921 --> 00:03:23,121
Speaker 1: allow the small things to bring in joy. Today's mantra,

26
00:03:24,441 --> 00:03:30,641
Speaker 1: I am present for the small beautiful moments of my life.

27
00:03:31,161 --> 00:03:35,601
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind,

28
00:03:36,641 --> 00:03:42,121
Speaker 1: I am present for the small beautiful moments of my life.

29
00:03:43,361 --> 00:03:47,801
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness to your breath and back to the

30
00:03:47,801 --> 00:03:54,961
Speaker 1: space around you. Slowly open your eyes to increase self

31
00:03:54,961 --> 00:03:58,641
Speaker 1: awareness and growth. I invite you to listen to this

32
00:03:58,761 --> 00:04:03,081
Speaker 1: evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with me

33
00:04:03,161 --> 00:04:06,961
