1
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Approchie production.

2
00:00:14,401 --> 00:00:17,881
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning mantra.

3
00:00:19,121 --> 00:00:22,721
Speaker 2: Too often our days slip by in complaint and worry,

4
00:00:23,721 --> 00:00:27,641
Speaker 2: small murmurs that mask a deeper fear that life will

5
00:00:27,721 --> 00:00:32,841
Speaker 2: end before we've truly lived. Today's meditation is about becoming

6
00:00:32,881 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: aware of the fear and using it to choose exuberance instead.

7
00:00:39,241 --> 00:00:50,201
Speaker 2: Your morning mantra, I awaken to each day with exuberant joy.

8
00:00:51,321 --> 00:00:56,201
Speaker 2: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so. Close your

9
00:00:56,241 --> 00:00:59,161
Speaker 2: eyes or lower your gaze.

10
00:01:00,441 --> 00:01:09,881
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

11
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,041
Speaker 1: your shoulders.

12
00:01:10,601 --> 00:01:19,601
Speaker 2: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Draw your

13
00:01:19,601 --> 00:01:26,281
Speaker 2: breath into your heart space. Whenever you catch yourself complaining

14
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: or worrying, acknowledge that this can be a sign of fear,

15
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,961
Speaker 2: a fear that time will slip away from us and

16
00:01:39,041 --> 00:01:41,681
Speaker 2: that we will think that we spend the majority of

17
00:01:41,721 --> 00:01:51,481
Speaker 2: time in complaint or wishing for something else. Complaining keeps

18
00:01:51,561 --> 00:01:59,041
Speaker 2: us small, closed off, moving in the opposite direction of

19
00:01:59,081 --> 00:02:06,481
Speaker 2: our hopes and dreams. Today is an invitation to remind

20
00:02:06,521 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: ourselves that this life is fleeting, temporary, not to be morbid,

21
00:02:15,761 --> 00:02:18,721
Speaker 2: but to give us the motivation to focus on what

22
00:02:18,841 --> 00:02:25,361
Speaker 2: is needed and let go of the other stuff, so

23
00:02:25,401 --> 00:02:30,281
Speaker 2: that we can feel exuberant and alive doing the things

24
00:02:30,401 --> 00:02:35,361
Speaker 2: that matter most to us. To make the most of

25
00:02:35,481 --> 00:02:42,481
Speaker 2: this precious time. Today's mantra I awaken to each day

26
00:02:42,881 --> 00:02:49,001
Speaker 2: with exuberant joy. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or

27
00:02:49,041 --> 00:02:55,361
Speaker 2: in your mind. I awaken to each day with exuberant joy,

28
00:02:56,401 --> 00:03:00,841
Speaker 2: bringing your awareness to your breath and back to the

29
00:03:00,841 --> 00:03:08,001
Speaker 2: space around you. Slowly open your eyes to increase self

30
00:03:08,041 --> 00:03:11,721
Speaker 2: awareness and growth. I invite you to listen to this

31
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,121
Speaker 2: evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with me
